Not starting

Audi A4 2005 2l tdi 170580 miles
Got in my audi a4 earlier (2005 model) turned the ignition on... nothing working on the dash apart from the handbrake light and airbag light. Crank it, starts briefly then died. Won't start, dash lights and gauges not functioning at all! now i know that if it starts then dies straight away it's usually an immobiliser issue, but why would the dash not work? long shot, but anyone had this before? i know there are a few people on here with a4's, passats etc

Transmission 99 Audi a4 2.8L quattro

Audi A4 1999 2.8L automatic v6 202000 miles
I changed the stereo out and when I did. I blew some fuses. I put the new fuses in that I blew and now my transmission is messing up. My car has to be showing 3000 rpm before it will shift any gear and i don't think it has over drive. Cause at 70 mph I'm running 3100 rpm I dont have a clue if this is normal. Can someone please help me or lead me in the right direction thank you

Hydraulic lifter rattle when 1st starting in the morning or if standin

Audi A4 2002 2ltr petrol avant a4 auto tip 76000 miles
Recently had major service , with so called correct oil, but came back and rattle developed , so put 1/2 pint of magnetic oil in her and then half bottle of noisy hydraulic lifter oil from b & q superstore , could not beleive my eyes when I saw this , so anyway after 2 days , fingers well crossed the nose as disappeared , also I now rev engine when turning car off, just like we used to with old motors, but well this may be contributing to the lifter noise going ! Please god let it come back, also car is running supreme and the engine power as defiantly increased since major service , I have cherished my Audi over the years though , hopefully it will battle on for years to come ! Try this method before large garage repairs and please let me know the outcome.

Rear suspension creak

Audi A4 2014  1000 miles
When entering a ramp turning the steering, a creak is heard coming from beneath the car, and the problem seems to be in the rear suspension. In the first diagnosis, a suspension rod and other pieces were replaced, but it remained the same. In the second diagnosis, it was found that the moment of force or torque was too high in the suspension elements. This was modified and the problem got better, but still creaks when entering fast or loaded.

Audi iPhone screeching speaker noise

Audi A4 2007 Convertible Quatro 3.2L 180000 miles
I recently got a new iPhone 6s Plus , had it two weeks and all of a sudden the speakers turn full volume ear piercing screeching static, you cannot turn the volume down and when you shut off the car the noise keeps going for a few minutes when you walk away. I had the amp and radio all checked out and it turns out that when I turn Bluetooth on it starts the noise immediately, I have shut the blue tooth off and no issues only I have to wear a headset. Any ideas would be great as I have to exchange the phone for an android or sell the car. Called Apple and they admitted there is an issue and trying to solve it which could be weeks, months etc. Not a popular problem so I don't expect a solution anytime soon.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks you

Hot Weather Fuel Problems

Audi A4 2003 2.0 FSI 180000 miles
My 2003 A4 2.0 TFSI badly misfires either in very hot weather or after driving a long distance of around 40 miles but becomes ok as soon as it is re-fuelled. This seems to suggest a problem with the fuel system being affected by heat. Any idea what the particular problem could be please? It is so frustrating as it even sometimes stalls in such conditions when in slow traffic.

Recommended scanner

Audi A4 2013  48900 miles
One important suggestion: use the scanner Launch X-431. There are two versions available now, the IV and, the most recent one, the V. They do not leave room for error, so you should choose them in order to always have the appropriate diagnosis. They even update through the Internet. Excellent!
