Update. Parts received and fitted. Basically a new brain for the car. Problem with the parts received as they not fully compatible with my model. Car did start and various electrics worked but not fully despite efforts. Search back on for parts detailed in initial message. Appreciate any support in sourcing as don't want to scrap this car which apart from this serious issue, is otherwise immaculate with only 61k miles. Stephen. Stephen.

No issues with relays or power supply. These parts only solution as indicated above. Parts only recently arrived and I wait to see what happens next

Hi Wayne thanks for reply. For perspective and only reason I not scrapping this car - only 1 owner since new who has been friend of mine for 30 years. Meticulous guy all service history for 19 years. Top spec and he paid £33k for it in 2005 when Audi flew him down London, put him up in hotel gratis to pick it up brand new. Only 61k miles now (19 years) and immaculate condition bodywork and internal. Rear seats not even sat in, original alloys, Nappa leather seats etc, etc. Failed MOT with him and his mechanic indicated £3k work needed. He decided to scrap it. I bought it for the scrap price as trust my mechanic who had upfront examined the car then fixed to MOT standard for another £1k. Flew through Mot. That was October 24. I then had to go abroad for work 3 weeks. left it with someone to turn it over/use it during very cold period up here early Nov. Came back and they hadn't. Battery flat (2014 battery anyway) and fast charged it in car. Started but immobiliser kicked in immediately. Wouldn't go off, key stopped communicating electronically with car. Got new battery - same problem. We considered Immo off program and undertook significant electrical analysis - car showed multiple underlying electrical faults probably all triggered by fast charge and new battery. Defo unknown to previous owner. Note: Please all, no post mortems or "you should haves". It has occurred and new parts as described only solution. My electrical mechanic guy/pal is considered the Gandalf of the trade up here. All qualifications experience software and hardware. We simply seek matching parts as described and he says he can re programme it. Have found one set today which are almost exact and from same year and model of Audi. These sets have to be exact and only come up now and again, often over months waiting. Trying this set from today once arrives weekend. This is not a major cost exercise, mainly as scrap parts not hugely expensive and Electrician is pal, but needs expertise. Worth trying for this specific car. Will update outcome. Fingers crossed. Stephen.

Thanks for your interest. The answer is yes all possible has been done in terms of analytics. No point going into the circumstances on this site. The diagnosis is from 2 separate sources who I trust and have the appropriate equipment and software. Would have done anything to avoid having to do this but its unavoidable. Have a search placed on various sites for these parts so if the right numbers come up will be notified. Simply looking to see if any members have any alternative sources for the parts I need.

Afternoon Thanks for moving the request and I understand the site lay out better now. To answer your question I have a trustworthy auto electrician friend who has examined the car and it needs all of these modules to get it going again. Stephen.

Afternoon Fairly new member and posted only once. Did reply with thanks to those who answered. My car has developed major electrical faults and I am looking for direction to any second hand suppliers anyone has used or is aware of who might be able to supply a set including: Body control module Convenience module Instrument cluster Electronic Control Unit (ECU) Whilst there are sets on eBay they are not complete and as an example have managed to source a set with the first 3 items with the correct codes for my car but can't get an ECU to match. (see attachment) Confused - so am I but put simply seek all 4 with compatible matching codes. Know anyone who can help? Thanks in anticipation. Stephen

Thanks for the reply and had tried that but nothing doing. Stephen

Hi New member and promise to reply and be courteous to any support given. Just bought the above car and aerial booster (passenger side under boot lid) not working (see photos).Have tested it and its the left side white connection which is at fault. When external power is supplied to the booster's white female connector the radio works perfectly. Basically I am either looking for a new male white connector or possibly that and the booster unit. Having trouble locating either. Have cleaned sprayed and messed about with the connection but it simply wont work. Any suggestions please of source for these parts? Thanks, Stephen.
