Hi all, I have a 2017 a5 quattro tfsi s line sportback and every time I hard accelerate, "Drive system fault" warning comes up on my dash. I turn the engine off and it disappears. Any ideas anyone? 🤔

Have you managed to check for any error codes using VCDS or similar?

I have the same issue... following.

I have purchased a code reader, but there are no codes stored in the module, so nothing to go on unfortunately. The cars performance remains the same when the warning light comes on. The start and stop doesn't activate though when it's on, but perfectly when it's not on. Any ideas 💡

Does that car have the s-tronic gearbox? What is the mileage?

 

[NickDolby]

Yes it does have the s-tronic gearbox and the mileage is 105000.

At 105K it should have had two ATF + filter services, is that true?
If it's under hard acceleration then my guess is that the clutchpacks are getting worn and they could be overheating.
What sort of code reader do you have? Some of the cheaper ones don't pick up all codes.
