ThomasG Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Me again! Now yet another error appearing - well three - on the dash - all yellow and all adaptive systems. Nothing has been done to the car apart from new discs and shoes all round. Driving to shop (7 miles away) and back, at about 9 miles the air suspension light comes on - rapidly followed by the adaptive headlamp failure and then the ACC and Brake . I drive home and try changing car height - works - each driving mode works. Plug in and clear all codes - nope. Switch off and clear again - all clear. No issues when starting. Just now - been on a short run - and at about 8 miles all three again. Home and tried to clear. Same cycle as yesterday. So - layman's theory - these are all adaptive systems, so probably some sensor issue. Or is it related to having new brakes on the front, and I doubt any calibration took place after installation, if that was necessary. So - A6 hivemind - anyone had this, or anyone know what to look for?

Stevey Y Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Hi Thomas these all sound like can communication errors and as a rule of thumb you shouldn't replace parts purely on U codes as these just mean one sensor has lost communication at some point with the other with the exception of the humidity sensor these are located under the cowling behind the mirror, thats the one that controls the demisting and are universally known to fail, I finally got round to changing mine at the beginning of the lock down as it was causing all sorts of erroneous codes relating to the aircon not working because the other components couldn't talk to the humidity sensor, changed it cleared the codes and bingo. With regard to the other lights I strongly suspect the battery one of my customers has a 2017 S-Line this started to throw up random lights for steering etc so he booked it in with the dealer, before he could get it there the dash was lit up like Trafalgar Square at Christmas and the car won't start turns out its the battery, even though the car has only covered 40k because he never went far in it the battery had been terminated, if your battery is new the next port of call would be getting the alternator charge rate checked as all the above codes can be generated by fluctuations in voltage, can communication relies on a steady consistent voltage. I don't claim to be an expert by any stretch of the imagination but the one thing you can be sure of is any thing can operated is bad news, at least with the Ford I had most can based sensors become crammed with redundant information so is all I did was a value relearn on the as factory option on Forscan and this cured 95% of the silly codes, not found out how to do this with VCDS yet.

ThomasG Posted June 20, 2020 Author Share Posted June 20, 2020 Looking at the scan again, it seems front right level sensor may be the culprit. Its all fine now. No lights. It triggers when driving. I'll keep digging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevey Y Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Looking at it again it looks as though the allroad has a levelling sensor on all four corners having picked the guy up the roads brain he works for a independent garage and reckons it could be the sensor as you said, apparently they are not very robust and operate internally on a windings system that if stressed can fail I.E. if the wishbone is hanging down while changing the discs, rarely it can be crud in the connector but it might be the internal pick up inside the box has gone beyond a limit it was never designed to go and is now playing up which concurs with the error appearing when driven and the sensor is moving. That was the thing that baffled me with my light problem the car has no sensor on the front and no signs one was ever present I am looking at the possibility that the levelling sensors are built into the headlamp but have yet to find the triggering device, all good fun.

Aye, but how do I go about testing this, and I can't seem to find a replacement one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevey Y Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Hi there is no way of testing the workings of the control box without some pretty sophisticated kit, just had a word with the guy up the road he said sometimes they disconnect the sensor at the bottom arm end and tie the arm at approx level with a bit of gaffer tape then drive it if the fault does not appear thats your kiddie, the part no is on the unit if no joy message me with your vin and I will look for the part no on my new toy, there are loads of them on eBay and the prices are not spiteful new or second hand and according to those who know they are plug in and play, no coding.

Right, driven along the local runway (where Jim Clark used to practice). So was totally level. No issues. Road for a bit, and errors after a few miles.

Stevey Y Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Hi Thomas going to be out of the loop for a bit as I am off to work but I hope the part numbers got to you ok and will do some cross matching on the filter applications tonight.

ThomasG Posted June 22, 2020 Author Share Posted June 22, 2020 Not yet, but will wait. Think I may have found the part regardless. Also, think I may invest in a trolley jack !! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see you've read my message. But nothing from you. Do you just want to post part numbers here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasG Posted July 12, 2020 Author Share Posted July 12, 2020 All sorted! Was the sensor. Plus DIY service. Thanks all for input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevey Y Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Hi Thomas, glad you got it sorted and the heartwarming news of the DIY service makes me glad at least the thieving scrotes at the garages won't be relieving you of a ton of cash any time soon, I knew you were more than capable by the way you describe the problems you had a bit of savvy goes a long way. I am off to tackle the dreaded rear wiper motor which keeps stopping when it rains because some moron designed it so the water washer system comes through the middle of the wiper spindle and when the seals get older it runs back into the control box and rots it out, I definitely aint taking it apart and cleaning it up only to get the same problem this winter, just going to get a new one as if you work out how long the original unit has lasted it will be another four years until the new one expires.

ThomasG Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share Posted July 13, 2020 A long thread, but with a good conclusion. I would say, that the electronic oil level is a nightmare - put in 6 litres, and run for a bit - it will say it's low, then top up very slowly in real time - you really don't want to have to suck some out - not that we had to. Thanks everyone for all the help. All the parts were about £75 and the oil was £50. New sensor was £50, so a LOT less than Audi, probably half the garage costs.

MrBroon Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 (edited) Hi Thomas, I've got myself a 2013 Allroad and just had the complete set of front suspension arms replaced and have the same error as you, prior to this it was all fine. Found the part numbers already but there appears to be lots of non OEM sellers of this part and was looking for your recommendation as you have done this recently.. I'm not a million miles away from you either in Midlothian. Any advice you can give would be much appreciated. I've got full VCDS so can do scans etc.. Cheers MrB.
