2012 A1 - just days after the software update- the warning lights came on and entered limp mode on a motorway! the car is driven on the motorway on distances of a minimum of 45 miles at a time. no school runs etc. the car was some 60 miles from our usual dealer and taken to the nearest. they advised the EGR cooler had failed as a result of the software update. they also advised the update was not carried out correctly and the national audi computer had no record of the update being carried out- despite us having a signed and stamped certificate to prove the emissions update was carried out. this garage refused to fix the car and insisted it be returned to the dealership that carried out the attempted update. they made it clear the dealership that updated / attempted to update had caused this damage. It was arranged for the car to be taken to the dealership we use and that carried out the update- eventually they admitted the update can destroy the engines emissions systems, and this being no exception, they claim to have 27 courtesy cars and a months waiting list for one- so they destroy your car and make you hire a car in the mean time - all because audi made the vehicle illegal in the first place. my advice- DO NOT GET THE UPDATE DONE, just read online for yourself. audi have a lot to answer for. for the record- the car has always been serviced and have everything done by audi dealerships.

Anyone tried this? looks pretty good for the price! http://www.micksgarage.com/proddetails.aspx?pid=1584628

Hi Dave, Similar fault on A6 C7 Forum... No news on her resolution from her either. Has to be Software or Sensor (does not leave a lot otherwise). Lots of complex algorithms running on dependencies. Hopefully Audi can get to the bottom of things.
