Default Mobile A8 Mechanic

Hi All

still loving my 1st A8 D3, 77k miles now and I am still looking for someone to regularly 'fix stuff' on my 8

Potential Jobs...

Phone Kit Install
Armrest repair - Bracket is snapped...
'Car' Menu - nothing happens!
Handbrake - started making strange sound and warning on display..
ipdod/phone setup
TV

Is anyone available on here to do mobile work - I'd love to have a kind of personal 8 fixer!


Thanks in advance

Then you could try Martin at Unit20 for the other bits -

Indeed nothing will happen when you press 'Car'. It will just show the air suspension settings

To access the car settings you need to press the shoulder button to the bottom left of the MMI knob

Hi Ollie

I mean nothing happens period! no suspension, tyre anything no matter what I press. The red light doesn't come on when pressing the button, it clicks and feels normal but nada on the display. Its worth pointing out the 'setup' button below it feels a bit sticky as though it has had a drink spilt which make me think strip it down and clean it but I am not sure where to start...All other buttons work as expected.
