Car has been scanned through VCDS and shows an engine relay related problem - I also have a 'anti-theft' switch which put the car in limp mode if not switched off before ignition.
The above switches an earth to a relay in the engine fuse/relay box.
I have seen different relays used in A3's and S3's, are there a standard set of relays? As i was tempted to by a 458 relay as this relay may not be operating correctly for it's intended purpose and that it works alongside this switch.
When I take this wiring out the car still remains in the limp mode with the EPC and EML lights lit.
Also if i leave the switch off/unarmed then it'll drain the battery if engine isn't running.
Any help is welcome.
Thanks Mat.
