The Audi A5 3.0 TDI Quattro is experiencing vehicle issues.
KWILB replied to johnnyb44's topic in General Car Chat
it would be very difficult, if not impossible, to identify the underlying source of the issue with the presence of a song. Therefore, the first step is often to eliminate the tune and essentially begin over. Best wishes! -

Welcome aboard, mate! However, it is improbable that you will discover a straightforward resolution considering the fact that your automobile deviates much from the norm. I recommend doing a comprehensive scan of your vehicle utilising VCDS Ross Tech in order to establish a reference point and starting position. I would also eliminate all of the adjustments and revert to the regular settings, then begin over. Wishing you the best of success and do update us with any new information, please! -
The battery of the E90 330d is experiencing a loss of power.

I have an appointment with a BMW expert on Thursday, and I hope they are knowledgeable about the specific issues I am experiencing. It is somewhat difficult to drive without knowing when a breakdown can occur, which can be quite amusing in a somewhat ironic way. -

I have seen that it has two sets of aftermarket LED headlights and peculiar power boxes secured with wire ties in the engine compartment. Perhaps these components are related. -

If there is a power drain in the car, would it result in the car being completely without power by the time I attempt to start it? Currently, the car starts up normally and functions properly, but suddenly dies after a few days. I am able to jump-start it for approximately 3 minutes, and then it runs for about 5 days before dying again. Earlier, it died but started up normally after a short period of time. -

If there are no error messages, I am uncertain about the battery voltage, albeit it is a fresh battery. There is a red component like a fuse box located on top of the battery. If the connection has been tested and seems to be functioning properly, it is possible that there is a short circuit somewhere. -
Hello, I recently purchased a 2009 e90 330d msport. However, I have encountered an issue with the battery draining and eventually dying. I have already replaced the battery, but the problem persists. I have checked the crankshaft pulley and it seems to be in good condition. Additionally, I have accessed the hidden menu on the dashboard and observed that the alternator voltage is at 14v. It is quite perplexing because the car can run for a few days after a jump start, but then it dies again. Prior to the car dying, all the warning lights on the dashboard illuminate. I would greatly appreciate any insights or suggestions, as I am not knowledgeable about these matters.

How can you effectively regulate the fuel level in the tank to prevent the accumulation of stale petrol during daily drives of 50 miles or less? Do you just maintain the minimal amount of petrol to prevent it from becoming stale after sitting for weeks? I will be using 93 octane fuel with the typical E10 mixture at the Shell fuel dispenser.

Once the battery is depleted, the engine no longer charges the battery during a road trip, which means there is no opportunity to benefit from the electric motor aid to enhance fuel efficiency alongside petrol throughout the journey. Put simply, once the battery is completely drained, there will be no more assistance from the electric motor until it is recharged using either an L1 or L2 charger. The engine does not contribute to charging the battery when on a road trip in order to use the electric motor and enhance fuel efficiency.

Greetings! It seems that I am a few months behind in my study on the 2024 CX-90 PHEV and initiating talks about it. Indeed, I am experiencing significant inconvenience and dissatisfaction due to Toyota's recent recall, stop sale, and overall poor customer service. I am uncertain on the course of action to take. We need a hybrid solution. Is a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) an available choice? I am now doing extensive study to get solutions to several inquiries. Considering the CX-90 PHEV, namely the premium plus trim. The essential need is a minimum of 7 to 8 chairs, with a preference for a captain chair configuration. According to the fueleconomy.gov website, the Grand Highlander Hybrid AWD has a reported fuel efficiency of 36 miles per gallon in the city, 32 miles per gallon on the highway, and a combined fuel efficiency of 34 miles per gallon. The fuel efficiency rating, measured in MPG/MPGe, for the 2024 Mazda CX-90 is not available on the fueleconomy.gov website. According to Mazda's official figures, the combined fuel efficiency of the Bug is 25 miles per gallon. The combined MPGE is 56. The electric vehicle has a maximum range of 26 miles within the local area. During extended journeys, you may anticipate a combined range of 490 miles, including both combustion and electric power. The CX-90 PHEV models have a commendable combined fuel efficiency of 56 MPGe. Is the combined fuel efficiency of the Grand Highlander 34 MPG, whereas the combined fuel efficiency of the other vehicle is 56 MPGe? ----------------- Is anybody achieving a fuel efficiency of about 56 MPGe on long-distance road trips while using the "Charge Mode" of the CX-90 PHEV to recharge the battery and maintain this level of efficiency?

What about any robust or high-capacity (if such a thing exists?) A vinyl wrap that may be readily replaced periodically. Alternatively, you might purchase a kind of transparent plastic that can be heated to achieve flexibility. Once it reaches the desired pliability, you can shape it accordingly before it solidifies.

I will get my card tomorrow, therefore I will test its functionality. I am quite frustrated because it is taking almost 6 hours to update the maps.

Does anybody have information on the most recent upgrade for the maps? My automobile has just begun alerting me about the imposition of a congestion fee. The nearest location is around 200 km away from my current location. Interestingly, the warning only manifests when I am travelling in a northerly direction, since there is no levy on traffic congestion while heading south.

Control 30 may refer to circuit 30, which is a circuit that has a constant supply of electricity. This circuit might be connected to a module, thus it would be advisable to inspect the fuses.

Deciding between rebuilding or replacing - struggling with indecision
KWILB replied to SD1too's topic in General Car Chat
It is worthless. The repairs exceed the estimated cost and budget, causing lingering concerns about unresolved further problems. In today's day, there is a significant value in salvaging materials, since several components may be effectively resold. -
Regarding contemporary automobiles, the emissions testing and restrictions are entirely nonsensical. Currently, the emissions generated by tyres and brakes exceed those emitted from the exhaust. Electric vehicles (EVs) are as detrimental to the environment as internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles.

I am inquiring if this situation is akin to the dieselgate scandal, when automobiles were found to be compliant with federal regulations yet exceeded the prescribed limits. I would really dislike having the automobile repaired and then experiencing a decrease in power.

Another contented driver of the e55 model who created an account only to express gratitude to the original poster. Excellent article! Upon doing an online search using the Google search engine, this particular post was shown as a result. The queue was clearly out. It was a quick and short 30-minute solution. Thank you once again! It is quite delightful to be working on a Mercedes-Benz vehicle after previously dealing with a BMW equipped with a six-cylinder twin-turbo engine. -
