A/C doesn't work! Had gas checked and it is OK, so ran a VCDS scan and got the below. Had a similar issue in June 2011, fixed under warranty - I don't know the details (didn't run a scan that time) but they said it was a wire that needed replacing (took 2-3 days to order it in).

Car went in for service and first MoT in January while still in warranty (just), they didn't pick up on the fault codes (which are dated Dec 2012) as Audi say they don't routinely run a fault code diagnostic when doing a service / health check!?!? Which is annoying as we took it back to Audi while in warranty in case anything like this was found!

Faults indicate a communication error between the main switch panel (J255) and the central electronics module (J519), A/C Pressure/Temperature Sensor (G395) and Air Quality Sensor (G238). Then errors between the central electronics module (J519) and the A/C Pressure/Temperature Sensor (G395) and Air Quality Sensor (G238).

Anyone had a similar issue, know where these sensors are or how I could check them? Is it easy to take the main switch panel out and check for a loose wire behind? Would the J519 communicate with G395 and G238 via J255 (in which case it could be a dodgy bus connection on J255?

Nobody had A/C problems like this in their B8? Would be just my luck to be the only one and to have it happen twice!
 
I have the exact problem with my B8 , I Have changed the sensor & also found that the small purple wire to the plug was corroded so I solderd on a replacement plug with new repair wires from Audi. But after all that it still repeatedly blows number 5 fuse (so I think the next step is to try to find A broken wire) cant say im looking forward to this next step.
 
i have the same issue with mine anyone know the part i need to order?
 
hi
i have the same problem how much it cost me to repair?
