My son has my Exeo now, but if I remember rightly what you have found is the battery breather which pushes in to a recess on the side of the battery/holder. It gets unclipped when the pollen filter is changed.

Hi, I am pretty sure that the Automatic Exeo uses the Audi Multitronic gearbox and not DSG, so for problems associated with this gearbox, you should try looking in the Audi forums. Hope this helps......Julian

I have a similar story with my 2010 143 se ST, only mine was bought new (my one and only new car) as a long term ownership project. I have maintained my own bikes and cars for 45 years so I hung up my spanners with this one. Was main dealer serviced till 2016, but avoided from then as I didn't...

Hi Steve, I have had my 2010 ST from new nearly 8 years now and if I have one complaint it would be about the auto wipe, works fine when it is really raining but in light drizzle I am forever doing what you are doing with the sensitivity wheel. I was told it could be altered in vcds but I am not...

Hi Rich, I am in Stafford, if you want to have a look at my 2010 Exeo ST 143. I think there is a bit of a knack in putting the jack away. Julian

Hi, I think it's a case of, if your car is parked under trees a lot, the more you will have to keep an eye on any water build up. My car was affected when a 4x4 went through flood water in the opposite direction and totally covered my car, I think it was the silt in the flood water that blocked...

Hi, had a problem like this on my ST, my rear wash took a long time to come through. Seat wanted £300 to investigate, said all the front of the car had to come off. Had a look myself, you are correct in saying the main part of the bottle is under the wheel arch lining and once all the necessary...

Hi, will definitely be the problem, if you are lucky it won't have made it's way into the cabin, also hope that it hasn't started to rot the brake servo with horrendous consequences. Had all this with an Audi, but now forewarned and check the Exeo on a weekly basis. In 6 years of ownership, I...

Hi, there is no problem with the radio code but I was left with the TPMS and the Traction Control light on the dash. Tried turning the steering back and forward but no joy, but drove car a quarter of a mile and two roundabouts and lights were extinguished. You will also have to reset the key fob...

Thanks for this guide, had water investigation done 3 years ago but they only found bung under the servo, which when cleared, allowed the water to drain. Just had battery changed and plate was removed to reveal this bung, totally blocked with gunge. All clear now but will continue watching for...

Hi, just had my 2010 143 SE ST serviced at Stoke Seat and their words were that the software has not been released yet. I am glad it wasn't done as I would rather wait and see what the professional testers think of the modification when it does get released....Julian

Hi, I remember seeing a thread on here a few years ago, where they found a rubber grommet was missing, I will try to see if I can find it.....Julian A post by carldavies13 in 2012 refers to a bung missing under the wheel arch, (possibly behind the liner?)....Julian

Hi, it's probably the plenum chamber drains, under the battery and the brake servo. Plenty of threads on here about it. Deal with it sooner rather than later as it gets to electronic control units. Age old Audi and VW problem, I check regularly for water build up in the battery area.....Julian

Hi tried this today, but did not appear to be working with my Vin No....Julian Having confirmed I am not a robot (a tick box that wasn't coming up on my computer) my 2010 143SE ST is not affected. I am baffled by the mixture of yes and no's, on 143's and 170's,and years, perhaps somebody could...

Hi, my 2010 ST has ignition only 12v sockets but my old A4 Avant had ignition only in the cabin but permanent power in the rear ( I think it is done now to prevent battery flattening) .....Julian

Hi, just fitted 2 Bosch Aerotwin to my 2010 ST, originals started to get very squeaky. Bought for £26.99 on the Bay and are whisper quiet and do a very good job....Julian

Yes, I saw this, an horrific accident and was quite impressed how well the Exeo fared damage wise, considering the damage to the fiesta. My thoughts as to the door skin missing would be fire service making easier access because the driver couldn't originally get out. I have always had faith in...

Hi glad you got it sorted, sounds like something silly and after 5 years of perusing this forum, a fault I have not come across before........Julian

Hi, a strange happening that is well documented on here, nothing is wrong, just a strange sensation when it first happens. Enjoy the car....Julian

Hi, my 2010 143SE ST had service in March and was oil and filter plus brake fluid change, air con service and timing belt and water pump. Mileage was 21,000 and is on annual service regime done by Stoke Seat from new....Julian
