I didn't think of temperature as a wrinkle in the game. We should all consider that factor also when we think the engine should not have turned on. Thanks for sharing this information with us. Condensation buildup is a very interesting variable also. Sounds like there are many reasons why the...

sounds like you did really well. good luck with the sale and hope next owner enjoys that new battery!

Oh that's very interesting, so for you, you've been able to correlate the engine coming on to needing more power? We could very well be dealing with multiple different root causes here with a similar symptom. Let's try to put in as much detail as we can, I think it's very important for us to...

Gotcha! Ohhh that's sad, I thought you were changing the battery to get more miles out of the car... well, hopefully you and your buyer get a good fair deal for the car. Out of curiosity? How much did they charge you for the battery?

Sorry to see there was no help for you on this topic. How did it all end up shaking out? Hope you have your new battery in the ride now and that all's good.

@dlinkA3 this is EXACTLY the behavior I'm describing. But it sounds like you already know everything about the e-tron and you aren't here for help, just to vent your frustrations. I'll hold off on providing further opinions and knowledge to you sir.

Is this erWin stuff available to everyone? If it's something that costs, would it be possible for someone who has the info to share it with the folks in this thread? Here is an interesting article I found, which reminds me of one of my very early DSG VWs, the system would "learn" from your...

Fair enough, all I can do is guess and try to provide what info I have, but only you know all the details of what you are dealing with. I'm very sorry that you are running into these problems, although it sounds like you've already made up your mind about this car and Audi in general, so I'm...

Thanks for sharing your experience and info here. Appreciated.

If you could find this, it could put an end to this miss-conception so many new hybrid owners have. Thanks in advance for your help!

Fair enough. I don't think the need to run the engine is only because of the engine oil, but I'm not a mechanic so I cannot argue this, but I'll stand firm on my statement about PHEV vehicles having the functionality I mentioned baked into them, at least some of them. We can believe they don't...

Here is my take on this, I believe two things could be happening, potentially even both, but neither one seems to be an "issue" just requires a bit of a learning curve. 1- I get in the car, I put my foot on the brake and press the ignition button, I'm not looking at the screen to see the E-Tron...

This is a silly question, but I have to ask, did you make sure you disengaged the electric parking brake?

Thanks for your reply @Jacks A3 ET ! I'm unsure if the braking is tied directly to Lane Assist or rather Audi "Sense". I believe the only thing Lane Assist does, is correct the steering wheel and vibrate it. The braking is more of a collision avoidance feature, my best guess anyways. When the...

Is this a statement that you are making or that the dealership told you about?

Hi everyone! I finally got the A3 down to southern California and back up north. So my first long distance drive with it. I must say that it fared quite well and was a pleasant drive. I enjoyed it quite a bit, minus one behavior I felt wasn't well tuned. I5 is a super long straight line 2 lane...

Hi @kmarko ! I am not 100% sure, but this is a common "issue" that PHEV owners report to the dealerships. They complain that the car although full of electricity, used the engine, why? A motor has a minimum runtime requirements. every X amount of miles, the engine needs to run Y amount to...

Deleting to post in right section.

Hi Sam, Have you noticed a difference between comfort and dynamic? I ask this because I noticed one of your videos you have Dynamic mode turned on. It's likely unrelated, but I'm curious anyways. I'll be watching this thread and hopefully some other folks have more information for you. I hope...

1. If you have lost more than the documented acceptable loss over time, then you should have no need for other issues to get it fixed. 2. I've experienced something similar a few times since I got the car a month ago or so and I haven't yet figured out the pattern, I am under the impression...
