Hi,

I've been running my A4 for 55,000 miles with the inlet manifol swirl flap codes, resetting every 1,000 miles or so cos Audi want to charge £1,500 for what's really a non-issue.

Every service they mention it, and every time I say, nah.

This time I reset the codes before service and oddly, they haven't come back yet in the last 200 miles. They usually come up again much more quickly. This is ironic because I have the car booked into a specialist to finally fix the problem!

I've checked and I'm pretty sure that they haven't secretly changed the inlet manifolds.

One of two things have happened:
  1. The codes just haven't come yet during normal driving
  2. The dealer has done a code delete from my ECU (no just a reset).
Has anyone heard of dealers doing this? I know it can be done because there are indies offering this service.

Anyone have any thoughts on the issue?

Thanks.
