@@emcproducer cheers! I just took it on the Pixel 8 Pro. I find the quality on photos hit and miss (but that may just be done to my lack of skill!) but video comes out quite well

Cheers, I think you done an excellent job there bud​. I actually went inside the park to see the fireworks. Was the fireworks display still pretty good to watch from where you was standing? @@Lifebikescars

@@emcproducer thanks. Yeah it was a great spot. We were just outside the kids play area bit. Visibility great, plus as soon as it finished, we were away with no crowds!

Never mind, it’s 205/50/17

@@vintfromby was about to say, I think they are 205/50/17. The original tyres should be Pirelli but I can't remember the model!

@@terryboy1235 thanks for your kind words 👍

@@mndabest7 hi there, thanks for your comment! No, this was just before they introduced the welcome light sequence. I'm not sure if it's been added to the my23/24 models

Thank you!

Very underrated machine. Was sad to see it go

@@idrisskone1733 brilliant! Glad it helped ☺️

Glad it helped 😊

No problem 👍

Hi, that sounds like there's an issue with one of the TPS (tyre pressure sensor)You may need to visit the dealership to diagnose

I bet it’s a bit more of an engaging drive with the manual! They are great cruiser tbf

I'm not longer at Audi unfortunately so don't have access to them anymore. However, the majority of features are the same. You can check out one of my other videos for info on the virtual cockpit as the functionality will be similar. Hope that helps 👍

Thank you for your great comment. Much appreciated!

I need more of these videos

Thank you for your kind comment, much appreciated. Glad the video helped 👍

They don't (or didn't for MY2021) Was an option on A1, Q2 and A3. Anything above was standard

Great! Glad it helped 👍

No worries, thanks for the feedback. Glad it was useful 👍

You’re welcome ☺️

Fantastic, glad it helped! Thanks for your kind words 😊

Great! Glad it helped 👍

Thanks for your comment. Much appreciated

Haven't got a clue what that means pal

Thanks for your kind comment. Glad it helped 👍

Honestly, I can't see how it would ever work. If every vehicle on the road had to be electric the existing network would be need to increase massively in my opinion. Electric vehicles, along with other alternative fuels and an option is certainly the way future motoring needs to go. I just think everybody is under the impression (and in all fairness, the way the idea seems to be sold) that there is going to be a blanket ban of all fossil fuel vehicle, whether that be powered by an alternative fuel or not. And if that was case, the current network couldn't cope

@@LifebikescarsI have to agree with you in that if we changed completely to EV with the current grid and generating capacity then we would struggle but that is not going to happen. Not only will the change take another 15 to 20 years at least EV's have one major advantage over all other forms of alternative fuels, the basic generating capacity and distribution network is already in place and has been for the last 100 years. Yes it will need to expand but if you were a generating company seeing an expansion in demand for your product would you not look to expand your operation to meet that demand? People forget that our major transport network was almost entirely electric prior to 1910 and when petrol took over there was no production or distribution network for petrol at all and it started in most parts of the world buying it from the local chemist in halt gallon tins.

The Tesla supercharger network is very good. It does have a few dead spots, particularly around the south east but for the most, you can navigate the whole of the UK with minimal stress. Also it’s handy that you can just pull up and plug the charger in, and all the costing is automatic to your account. With the rest of the network, you need an account/app for each provider. You then need to go into the app each. Sounds like minimal effort, but when your phone has poor reception, or the app doesn’t want to respond, or you need to supply a load of information to sign, these little niggles can really start to grind and upset your day!

220 miles at over £6 a gallon ... Not sure about that ..

That is quite impressive. Judt a point, how long woukd you say it takes to visit a petrol station a fill up with fuel, on average? It's still got to be a good 10-15mins activity by the time you pull up, wait for a pump to become free, fill up, go in and pay, etc etc. The time element of stopping for a charge isn't too far off that. Plus, if I had the car on charge at home, that would minimise my stopping, but I rarely charge at home

Thanks for the advice. They certainly aren't the pinnicle of cars but I've got to be honest, it's certainly not a bad day to day car..and far better than a lot of things I've driven. Can I just ask why you think they are junk?

😂 yes. And also the Aston Martin of that era! Means this Fiesta is prestige by association 🧐

Absolutely, the story for non Tesla EV is very very different. I wouldn’t be able to carry out the same journey, or have done the past 35k+ miles with such ease without the supercharger network.

Avoid Gridserve unless not during the day, but I've done Oxford to york and back in a day, 1 charge at ionity Leeds for 30 mins... Easy

220 and you had to charge .. wow.. my e-niro would have done that without a charge. Even in the winter with heavy rain..(cold rain is a real range killer)

@@maxsec2 to be fair, it would've done it on one charge there and back too. (if I had started on a full 100%) But I prefer to graze charge, which I think is the best way to use an EV. If I can charge when it suits me rather than having to stop out of necessity. For example, on this journey, I was ready to stop to have a break because of the early start, so it was a natural opportunity to top up the charge.

@@maxsec2 not the only no Tesla charger I used to use was Podpoint, particularly when it used to be free at Tesco 😂. The main issue I found with the charging network if finding a charging with a decent kW output. 50kW to charge a full EV is no fun at all!

You’re welcome! Glad it helped. Hope your daughter enjoys her Q2 👍

You’re welcome. Thanks for your kind comment 🙂

Unfortunately not. That would be a good mod actually!

Thanks for your comment. Glad it helped!

You're welcome! No, the check engine stays illuminated when the ignition is on but the engine hasn't yet started. Obviously, if the engine light comes on while the engine is running, it will light because there is an issue. Hope that helps. Thanks

@@Lifebikescars Thank you very much. It really helps.

Hi, no worries! Do you mean on the virtual cockpit? If you have satellite map view set, then yes it will bring through the Google powered map view (note, it is not truly Google maps) However, depending on the age of the car, you may find the Google type maps has disappeared because in the in built data package has expired. You may be able to contact you local audi dealership to see if this can be extended, but I think there is a cost involved now (used to be free) As another side note, if you are using Google maps through the smartphone interface (apple car play/andriod auto) the maps will only display on the main screen and not on the virtual cockpit.

Similar principle on the A5/A6/A7 etc MMI.

Hi, depends on the age of the firmware in the car. I think post my 2021 vehicle came with wireless Apple CarPlay. Hope that helps

Thank you for you kind words 😊👍

Hi, the honest answer is I don’t actually know. I’d assume so but some newer cars don’t actually use a filter. Might be a question for your local Audi dealership but looking on sites like GSF, there isn’t a fuel filter listed
