Yippie, another issue with the car...
Pulled up to traffic lights, I know the junction takes a good while to change again, so put the handbrake on and the gearbox in neutral. Stop start kicked in so the engine wasn't running.
Preparing to go again, changed the car from neutral to drive, pressed the accelerator expecting the start bit of stop start to work as you do.. instead got something along the lines of 'ignition system error please contact workshop'. Being stuck in the middle of a particularly busy junction I didn't get chance to check the exact wording, rather spent the next few minutes furiously swearing and trying to start the car, which did eventually come back to life.
After getting home, I now have a new fault code...
01 Engine
System description: R4 2.0l TDI
Software number: 04L906026AG
Software version: 1969
Hardware number: 04L907309L
Hardware version: H34
ODX name: EV_ECM20TDI01104L906026AG
ODX version: 001006
Long coding: 0A254032232605083408
Trouble codes:
P060600 - ECM/PCM Processor
static
Googling P060600 - ECM/PCM Processor does not sound very good, some kind of generic ECU issue.
Anyone had any experience of this type of fault code? I saw some other references to dodgy sensors or software updates around on other threads but can tie them up.
Obviously I've contacted Audi, they've got a mobile tech coming this evening but that was only after much wrangling and chasing around.
After initially contacting Liverpool Audi where I bought the car from, I was referred to Jardine's national booking service who's initial attempt at customer services was to advise a two week wait, likely longer if I needed a loaner, back on to the local garage and they can take the car in, but cant look at it straight away or sort a loaner for a week. Advised to speak to roadside assistance, who whilst initially reluctant to send someone out as the car appears to be 'driveable' where finally persuaded to send an Audi tech to see if the car is infact safe to drive.
Not really sure why I should be doing the chasing for an issue with a two week old car and be told to wait weeks if I want to remain mobile, pretty tragic for a brand that supposedly strives for 'extremely satisfied' customers.
I don't expect cars to be faultless, that would be naïve - I am an IT tech for some very big old 'big iron' systems I know the law of averages when technology is mass produced will inevitably lead to teething troubles with a small percentage of components. What I do expect is that when buying from a reputable brand, when an issue is encountered, that someone owns that problem and I don't spend half my day organising someone to look at it - even us IT nerds have learned that level of basic customer service these days.. well some of us at least!
Not sure if this relates to my earlier judder thread here http://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/s-tronic-stationary-juddering.310230/, there was no fault code at the time with that, and no further reoccurrence - so starting a separate e thread for specific issue/query.
