Job finally complete... I really think my local dealership went above and beyond to help me out here... hats off to them and I will have to send an email to praise the team. See attached the summary sheet I recieved with part n umbers.

Latest update: Extended warranty declined. Although electronics is part of the warranty, wiring is not. This is apparently the case for majority of manufacturers and extended warranties. Anyways quoted £185+vat for the loom. They were generous and will barely charge me labour, perhaps 30mins...

Went into audi today to get looked at. Currently they're trying to get extended warranty to approve. They claimed they would replace the entire loom and also agreed it should be covered under warranty. To my surprise, the loom is in slack when the boot lid is open and in full stretch when...

Thanks Both. I'm hoping they don't question the reverse camera wiring although it runs down the other side of the boot lid and does not impact the reg lights in anyway but plan to try get this done under warranty and if they refuse then I'll have no choice but to do this myself. If I end up...

See attached gif (snippet from video I took but demonstrates the issue).

I did a search on the forum and google and couldn't find any relevant hits. (Now that's out the way). So another new gremlin which I'm wondering if anyone has experienced. Car is a 2014 8Vs S3. In brief it has OEM LED Number plate lights from factory... if I pop the boot open the lights come...

For anyone interested, in addition to some washers etc, the following is the part number of the shift mechinism replaced in my case: (8v1?!)-713 023 AG

Finally taken the car in and below is their diagnostics: Carried out diag road test .Drives ok no faults on dash. Connect battery charger and ran gff - fault -F31 9 selector lever locked in P switch imp signal. Ran test plan and checked mvb's .While moving in and out of park int not showing...

Will keep you posted. Usually they give me an invoice which they null due to warranty so I'll keep you posted on howmuch too to give you a rough ball park. Yep wiped codes twice and just came back with gear selector error on VCDS. Message back after 16th oct and I'll be back from holiday then...

PS although it came up in german the first few times, its constantly in english now.

I finally booked my car in with Audi in Oct 19 (go away on holiday so will let them keep the car... free secure parking haha jk) under extended warranty so will report back what they find is the issue. Another member on facebook group said on his RS3 it was the gearshift selector mechinism that...

Pretty sure it's the shifter mechinism. Read there might be a TSB on it but will ring up and see if they'll put a new one in under extended warranty. Another owner has experienced this before on an RS3 and stated besides the error they had no issues. The message now comes up in English but...

Hi guys, Sorry for the delay. Didn't want to take to Audi under extended warranty as if they found nothing wrong, I would have been charged for the diagnostics. Managed to borrow mates VCDS. See below: (cleared and will scan again tomorrow) the only one I am aware that was present before was...

No idea why. Once before couple years ago I turned the car on and the MMI was all in German... turned car off and back on and was back in English . Unfortunately this error remains in German. Will take it to Audi under extended warranty to check it out and will post back findings.
