Another problem has arisen!! its having trouble starting now and when i lock it (with the key as central locking isn't working) the red light for the alarm doesn't flash anymore :eek: does this have something to do with the battery?!
Thanks

central locking & alarm not working, sounds like a convenience unit failure to me, do you know anybody in your area with VAGCOM to check out for you!
 
Beat me to it Mike - yes, this certainly sounds like the symptoms of a dicky central convenience ECU. They are known to be a tad unreliable and cost about £200 to replace and recode at a dealers.

Cheers,

Mike
 
Hi Linzlad
Did you try the key matching procedure outlined in the posts from the thread I suggested last time ?

If this failed then it could be the convenience unit as tdiman suggests.
One other thing to check is the front service flap. If this is left slightly open or the catch is out of adjustment then the red alarm light will not continue flashing

well its booked into my nearest audi for tuesday! not looking forward to the cost :( i suppose it needs doing though and i will benefit by not having to open the doors with the key and jump in at lightening speed so the alarm doesn't go off!!
Thanks for your help :)
 
been to audi today, they just say its an electrical fault and i'd have to take it back on 10th April!!!! anyone ideas on price :confused:
 
indeed, they haven't even booked it in, she said just turn up so i hope that they will have time to do it, i'm contemplating taking it somewhere else but i don't know if its best to let Audi do it, what does everyone think?
Thanks
 
as Audi said they would have to 'strip it down to find the wiring fault'...sounds painful!! and they can't do it until 10th April, does anyone know of anywhere that could do it in the Stockport/Manchester area please?
Thank yyooooouuuu
