![]() I've truly given up on the audi dealer and audi uk who protected the dealer rather than the customer. My verdict for what caused this.It could still be the tech who did the high level brake light as i think removing the boot trim could damage this but how would I ever prove it. If it does work the £15 for the glue is a bit cheaper than the £450 quoted for the replacement rear window. I have ordered some conductive demister glue and am going to see whether sticking these back on clears the faults. Also on the bottom right amplifier one of the connections is loose. On the pictures (quality not great due to the light and angle) you might be able to see that the wire from the bottom left FM antenna to the rear window has become detached.Not sure how this ties in to impedance converter 1 on the fault code text but as soon as I push this back against the glass the fm signals come back. I've got to the bottom of the the FM fault I think Last edited by biffyg 20-02-2015 at 11:08 AM.Īfter finally washing my hands of Audi, I got some balls and gave myself the go ahead to strip down the boot liner (Thanks to a couple of hints for stripping down from M1tchy also) The other fault related to the antenna and that was:Ġ2983 - Connection between Impedance Converter 1 and Window AntennaĪny help would be much appreciated and likewise whatever I find out I will share. The guy who was helping me is trying to get further info on the codes but just in case anyone else can shed any light or let me know where I'd find the info:Ġ3132 - Limit Switch for Rear Spoiler Movement (F135/F136) The first one related to the spoiler limit switches. Well had the car on the vcds today, finally convinced myself to get the cable now, as others have said it would pay for itself straight away.Īnyway there were a few codes that came back after the first ones were cleared. (To convince them the mmi wasn't working took weeks, to convince them there was a gearbox issue on my q7 gearbox took weeks and they consistently lied to me, until i showed them the tracker records and the car hadn't even been out!!) ![]() Any, advice, ideas for repairs or ideas for alternative aerials would be really good.īit of a long winded post but I'm sick of that particular dealer fobbing me off!! I have some time off where I want to investigate this a bit more and try and get it working. I had the windows tinted several months ago, I am sure it has worked since then but theoretically he could have sliced the connection when he cut the tint. Obviously I can't prove who or what has damaged the aerial connection, but I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this, i.e where it may connect to the window. I would have thought that would have been guaranteed but apparently not, that guarantee runs out with your warranty, that astounded me. One thing here though that I thought would have been covered is the mmi was changed less than a year ago under warranty. Now in hindsight I should have maybe associated the work they'd done on the high level brake light with this but I didn't (as in reality as it was such a quick in and out i'd forgotten about it) Anyway said I'd book in after xmas and left without charge, I have a feeling the diagnostic bill will come through the post at some point though. The whole rear windscreen would need to be replaced at a charge of £450. Anyway brake light repaired within warranty and all good, however when I mentioned about this FM problem a week later and booked in for 19th December as they said they would take a look at it no mention of charge, just bring it in and we'll have a look.Īnyway it goes in week last friday, first thing is how are you paying Sir, I said there was no mention of a charge on the phone and got her to record that as I wasn't really willing to pay if it was damage they had done so close to end of warranty, anyway they discovered that the FM aerial was open circuit which is apparently built into the rear window. (I don't have google nav just the usual mmi3g i think)Īnyway, I tried to associate the issue with any software updates the dealer might have done during the first mot and service at the end of november, (where as I mentioned in another post they picked up the the high level brake light was dim so it went back a week later where they replaced it.) There was no software update done, and I wouldn't really know where to check if it was due one or what version it should be. ![]() ![]() Had my '61 A7 in to the dealer a couple of weeks ago (only 2 ish weeks out of warranty) to investigate why for a while now I have not been picking up FM stations automatically, although I can manually tune, I rarely pick up TP now and I certainly don't pick up TMC, which is very annoying when you're doing a lot of m6 driving, liverpool to Glasgow a couple of times a week.
