I've checked the relevant fuse but keeps blowing
Posted Jun 14, 2021 (3 years ago)
If blowing the fuses , either what you are putting in is overloading the fuse or you have a short .
Posted Jun 14, 2021 (3 years ago)
Must be a short, how do I resolve this theb?

Could be a faulty socket , but there are a good few independent Audi garages in Glasgow that could check it out for you and keeps you away from the dealership prices for diagnosing / fixing . Or if you know a good auto electrician that would help .

Can you recommend any independent Audi Garages in the Glasgow area please?

One of my mates has used these for his Audi and been happy with them

Philips Garage
19 McFarlane Street , Glasgow, Lanarkshire, G4 0TL

0141 552 3834

Another mate used these for his Porsche but do Audis also .

Depends where in Glasgow you are and which one is handiest / cheapest , worth phoning all first and comparing .

Thanks very much, I'll give them a call tomorrow ?????
Posted Jun 14, 2021 (3 years ago)
Hope it's a known fault and a simple fix .
