At Terry’s Locksmiths, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional automotive locksmith services across the Gold Coast. With over 50 years of expertise, our team is well-equipped to handle the complex needs of various vehicle models, including the sophisticated Audi range. In this blog post, we will delve into the specialized services we offer for Audi vehicles and highlight the common issues and solutions related to Audi’s ignition, car key, and door lock systems.

Comprehensive Audi Locksmith Services

Audi vehicles, known for their luxury and performance, often require specialized locksmith services due to their advanced security systems. At Terry’s Locksmiths, we offer a range of services tailored to meet the needs of Audi owners:

1. Key Programming and Replacement

   • Autell Diagnostics: We can handle around 80% of Audi vehicles via OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) with our Autell diagnostic tool. This process involves plugging into the vehicle’s OBD port to program or replace keys. For models where this is not possible, we may need to perform an Eeprom job to extract the PIN code.
   • Super VAG Tool: For Audi and Volkswagen models that are non-MQB (models manufactured before around 2012), our Super VAG tool is highly effective. However, newer MQB models present additional challenges.

2. Ignition Repairs and Replacements

   • Ignition Issues: It’s important to note that ignition repairs are typically not feasible for Audi vehicles. In most cases, a replacement housing is required, which costs approximately $750. Our experienced locksmiths are adept at managing these replacements efficiently.

3. Key Cutting and Lock Picking

   • HU162T Locks (2015+): Audi models from 2015 onwards use the HU162T key pattern, which can be challenging to pick or cut. Our team, including locksmiths Kile, Lee, and Seb, has access to the specialized Lishi set of 4 for HU162T locks, ensuring we can handle even the most difficult key cutting tasks.

4. Aftermarket Remote Key Issues

   • OEM Remotes Only: We cannot program or work with aftermarket remotes for any Audi models. We specialize in OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) remotes to ensure compatibility and reliability.

Common Audi Locksmith Problems and Solutions

Audi vehicles are renowned for their advanced technology, which can also lead to some common issues:

• Ignition Failures: Audi ignitions often fail and require replacement rather than repair. Due to the complexity of the ignition system, replacement parts are essential for proper functionality.

• Key and Lock Problems: Audi’s sophisticated key systems, especially those involving transponder technology and remote key fobs, require precise programming. Issues may arise with lost keys, malfunctioning remotes, or problems with key fob batteries. Our use of advanced tools ensures accurate key programming and cutting.

• Lock Picking Challenges: For models with HU162T locks, the difficulty in picking or cutting keys is notable. The complexity of these locks means that specialized tools and experience are crucial for successful service.
