Simon - thank you!! Saved me £130. Get the part and do it yourselves folks. I a completely hopeless at anything in any way technical and I managed it in a couple of minutes. Do NOT put it in the garage. Also just don’t drive it as soon as you get the error message - really not worth the risk. I would suggest getting the part from Audi if you can as I had a hell of a time with an online parts company who turned out were based in Germany and I waited over a week and it still wasn’t shipped. With shipping etc the part direct from Audi was £7 more expensive. Not worth the hassle. An easy fix even for the utterly gormless like myself!

I have a 2017 A4 saloon 2.0 petrol. The brake servo restricted light came on 2 days ago but I didnt get around to researching it until today as I felt secure with the dashboard message saying it is ok to continue driving. Turns out that is a false sense of security and I wish I had looked up the issue earlier but I'm hopeful that I can still get away with the simple sensor replacement. After ringing around the 3 local dealerships in my area one said another has stock (same company with multiple dealserships) but annoyingly the parts department at that dealership haven't been answering my calls all day! It sounds like the part number has recently been updated to have a B at the end rather than the A I had seen on earlier threads. I believe the part number for the sensor is now 5Q0906207B. I will try contacting the dealership again tomorrow. Fingers are crossed... This is my first Audi and I am very disappointed that it feels like Audi have their eyes closed (deliberately or not) to a simple and cheap fix that could save owners £ thousands. At less than 4 years old I had no dreamt that I could be on the line for such a costly repair, made only worse when I read how common this fault appears to be.

If you have a fault code P2015 go to eBay and google P2015 repair bracket it solves the engine light

Don’t get an inlet you can get a bracket to fit the inlet flap the light is on because the throttle arm is travelling to far back also how old is the car

I have now had a PM from Charlotte, where as well as seeking more clarification on issues with the car, she advises that the charge made to renew the battery also included other investigations which were carried out without charge. I have asked her whether she objects to me posting this additional information contained within a PM, and no objection has been received. I feel I have unfairly judged her mobile mechanics (who I understand she is happy with and trust) - my judgement being based on the facts which were contained in her posts. For this, I apologise on behalf of the forum. To me, this demonstrates the need to clearly and comprehensively describe the full facts within any post, and I - frustratingly from both sides - find myself, boringly, having to ask for further information/clarification from posters seeking help on here, since the symptoms and background are not made as clear as they should be. I still stand by the remainder of my advice to Charlotte. To be honest, this is a bit of a rant, and I am finding myself spending an increasing amount of time either asking posters to explain in more detail - and many don’t even bother to respond, offering advise, with responses of been- there-done-that,although they haven’t said, or as usual, a total absence of any basic acknowledgement for time spent in trying to help. Sorry folks for boring with this, but I guess you will get the gist of where I am with this. Kind regards, Gareth.
