PM sent Nigel.
I hope I haven't mis=quoted the parts guy, but he definately got the keys to an A5 and showed me it working, it looked similar anyway.
Thanks
We will see monday, but has he just maybe said this is how the part works to show functionality or did he actually say the part number is identical to the part number on the A5, cause if the latter then this is wrong given what etka shows us now, its not beyond possibility our etka is wrong though given they have almost live feeds & will do soon enough when it goes web based, but Mitch finds anomolys everyday in etka upto date aswell, but I dont see it, but I as always like to be proved wrong so learn more.
I have an up-to-date copy of VAG.COM on my laptop so I'll connect it up tomorrow to see if it gives me the details on the steering module. If all I need is the switch then that should be quite straight forward to change. Do you know how much the latest type of switch costs?
Yeah check in 17 mate see what part number you have as be interested to see what else audi have fecked up tbh as my car has wiring that it shouldnt have but was bonus for me when I did my cluster upgrade.
But wouldnt do anything yet mate interms of changing the stalk as its an anomoly that we need to answer 1st.
But then its a coding issue.
Looking forward to see what Nigel turns up.
Nigel - as your in the know with an Audi guy, if VDS works in a similar way as Audi's computer, can you ask him if he can find out what the coding would be
Mitch doesnt deal with that side but Steve master tech does, but something you have to realise & alot of others do which is why I dont call them stealers anymore, 1st they get very small discounts on alot of parts as I have seen there prices to buy in so I now respect there position more interms of pricing for parts that is, but mostly the coding side of things.
eg. Audi have locked engineers out of the cars so much these days its even hard for them to get into some things, reason, audi know in germany what a car has to have from stock, so they hold all the coding there & any new modules or upgrades seem to be done all over the web from germany so any new modules & ecu work etc is done by preset codings, audi's thoughts are this is how we sold the car it should never have to change, well unless the car owner is a member of this site that is or his name is Nigel, which is why Mitch doesnt bother with my chassis number anymore, lol
So for me this was very enlightening when I went to do my cluster upgrade as they couldnt fix a fault that I could cause the technicians dont have access to certain areas, so I'll ask & at same time check myself.
