Engine light

Post by DXB_RS6 » Thu Nov 30, 2017 8:13 pm

Engine light has popped up. Is there anyway of viewing the problem from the system without having to take it to Audi?

Or a bluetooth OBD dongle and an app on your phone. I believe ODBEleven and Carista both do this but I think both require the use of their own dongles and not the super cheap ones on ebay.

I did my stage one upgrade around 3 months ago. Engine light came on last week..

Is intermittent, comes on and off. Strangely, it seems to go off when I really push the car then back on when the car is being driven normal.

Weather has changed alot in the kat few weeks, it's become much cooler.

This is by far the best way as you can also see the logs or you can like mike said, use a obd scanner to get the fault code and go from there.

Nick at elite in DIP2 has a Rosstech cable and also Autohaus has one.

Thanks. Had a bad experience with autohaus, another one of those Dubai companies that just isn't interested in taking my money. Tried to contact them a few time for different jobs and they never return calls, emails etc.. Even when chasing them.. Very strange.

Probably a decent company but the current team is just very incompetent.

I can’t comment on there work as I’ve never had anything done there myself. I just know they have a cable. Are you on the Vag uae group?

I'm sure the actual work is decent once it manages to get inside but it's the front line service staff, sales team that are letting the business down.

No I'm not on that group, where is it?
