Re: Vehicle loses track of its

I'll have the individuals I recently paid thousands of pounds to conduct the work take a look at it then.
Though I will let you know when it's fixed in case anyone else encounters the same or a comparable problem.

I would reset the errors and see what happens, as I mentioned before.

Re: Vehicle loses track of its

Even after a single scan with the ignition turned on, Energy Management was triggered, and the battery had previously died. I have tried resetting the energy management error, recoding the battery as a backup, and resetting the MMI, among other things, while the battery is charging, but nothing has ...

Re: Vehicle loses track of its

Since the repair shop that performed the engine refurb/refresh is conveniently located near my place of employment, I am hesitant to reset them until they have examined all errors; I am willing to put up with the problem for a few days because it is not a big deal.

Re: Vehicle loses track of its

Extra details... Here is the outcome of the VCDS scan; I'm wondering if it's related to the battery life.

Audi S5 B8 4.2 V8 from 2008

The engine was recently refreshed with new seals, chains, and clutch, among other things, however the battery was unplugged for more than a week throughout the process. The air conditioner isn't blowing cold air (even if the compressor is OK and full of gas), and it ...

Re: Fixing a coolant leak and replacing the radiator

Perhaps he's referring to the auxiliary heater. Though it appears to be a tank, it is really not.

Re: Is the back fuse for my 2013 X5 35i missing?

A report. The headlights weren't working properly, and after running the error codes, some of them were connected to the FRM module. A secondhand FRM module was purchased by me through eBay. I got it yesterday and found a replacement tutorial on YouTube. Appeared to be rather easy. The plastic case ...
