20 Most Recent 2009 Audi R8 Questions & Answers

to get the solution you need the the service and repair manual to fix the problem which you will get easily from the given link even they help after buying i had checked it http://toolsnyou.com/

The problem is with the model radio fitted in the car.

just buy a bluetooth handsfree kit for $30-50

What's the exact RNS model you have, the RNS-510 ? Older equipment only supports SD cards, not SDHC (= SD High Capacity). And what's the exact SDHC card size & type ?

You might wanna try to format your SDHC card using FAT and/or FAT32 and try again. Also make sure the card is in read-only mode (workaround for some older firmware bugs).

And while testing, just use a couple of MP3/WMA files (so don't put tons of files on it) and remove all other files from the device to make sure it's not interfering.

If possible, try an older SD (non SDHC) card and/or contact your Audi dealer for a firmware-upgrade. Since you're having troubles with built-in functionality, this (possible) upgrade should be free of charge.

There are some rumors that some of the newer firmwares will only play DRM-enabled files, so you might wanna try that too (or ask your Audi dealer).

I believe that this vehicle doesn't have a dip stick and should be serviced by the dealer only.

The engine oil specifications for Audi R8 4.2 FSI V8
- Quantity: 14.2 liter
- Type: Castrol Edge 5W-30
- Oil change intervals: Max. 12 Months / Max. 15000 km

Castrol have developed EDGE 5W-30 in co-operation with the VW Group. This oil sets new standards in the industry in regards to cleanliness of the engine, thereby reducing harmful emissions and subsequent damage to the environment.

The technology in this oil also reduces long term blocking thereby prolonging the life of the diesel particulate filter.

Castrol EDGE 5W-30 is equally suitable for gasoline and diesel vehicles where performance specifications VW 504 00 and 507 00 are demanded.

In addition to its cleaning properties, EDGE 5W-30 antiwear technology provides strong protection for modern FSI, TDI and turbocharged engines.

EDGE 5W-30 is also approved for use in modern BMW and Mercedes gasoline and diesel engines including those equipped with a DPF that require BMW Longlife -04 or MB-Approval 229.51.

if you have the R-Tronic gearbox there are numerous post on Audi forums re problems and all seem to have had the software updated so i'd suggest taking to a Audi dealer and get them to thoroughly run a diagnostic , as for the rain i've no idea unless there is a leak onto some electronic part so tell Audi that as well

Check the codes!

I would check the OBD codes for clues.

Try the row of large switches above the radio. It is most likely the middle one.

Let's break down the situation: EPC Light: The EPC light typically comes on when there's a problem with engine sensors or components. It might be related to the throttle sensor or the temperature sensor. When the EPC light activates, the engine electronics may limit power and maximum RPM. As a result, the computer might restrict the engine's performance, allowing you to drive at low speeds only. Check Engine Light: The Check Engine light illuminates when the engine management system detects a fault or error. The codes you've provided indicate specific issues: Code 17950/P1542/005442: Angle sensor 1 for Throttle Actuator (G187) has an implausible signal. Code 16891/P0507/001287: Idle Control System RPM is higher than expected. Possible Causes and Solutions: Fuel System Issues: Given the fault codes related to fuel pressure, it's essential to check the fuel system. Low fuel pressure could cause hesitation and trigger both lights. Mass Airflow Sensor (MAF): A faulty MAF sensor can lead to engine hesitation, rough idling, and stalling. Consider inspecting or replacing the MAF sensor. Throttle Body: Although the dealer replaced the throttle body earlier, it's worth verifying its functionality again. Idle Control System: The high RPM issue might be related to the idle control system. Inspect the idle control valve and related components. Wiring and Connections: Check for loose or damaged wiring, connectors, and vacuum lines. Next Steps: Diagnostic Scan: Perform a thorough diagnostic scan to identify any additional fault codes. Visual Inspection: Inspect the throttle body, angle sensor, and wiring connections. Fuel Pressure Test: Verify fuel pressure using a fuel pressure gauge. MAF Sensor: Consider cleaning or replacing the MAF sensor. Idle Control Valve: Inspect the idle control valve for proper operation. Remember that intermittent issues can be challenging to diagnose. If the problem persists, consult a qualified mechanic or an Audi specialist to pinpoint the exact cause and address it effectively.
