August 17, 2010
Supersedes Technical Service Bulletin Group 23 number 10-05 dated February 26, 2010 for reasons listed below.
Affected Vehicles
Audi Q7 Quattro 306
CONDITION
This RVU has been proactively released to prevent the following condition from occurring in the vehicle:
^ The "TDI" and rear "quattro" emblems are missing from the lower right corner of the rear lid.
^ MIL on.
^ DTC P229F or P2201 (NOx Sensor Circuit Range/Performance) stored in ECM.
This Required Vehicle Update (RVU) is in effect until June 26, 2013. After that date, this RVU will expire and no longer be in effect.
Vehicle must meet all of the following criteria:
^ Procedure is valid only for vehicles that show the 23F1 code in the ElsaWeb Campaign/Action Information screen on the day of repair.
^ Vehicle must be within the Limited New Vehicle Warranty.
^ Procedure must be performed within the allotted time frame stated in this Technical Service Bulletin.
^ Procedure must be performed on applicable vehicles in dealer inventory prior to sale.
TECHNICAL BACKGROUND
The work instructions for installing the "TDI" and rear "quattro" emblems during assembly were removed for a short production run.
Software update needed.
PRODUCTION SOLUTION
The work instructions were updated to include placing the "TDI" and rear "quattro" emblems on vehicles shipped to North America.
New software in the 4L0 907 401 B Control Module (J623) addresses the condition.
SERVICE
Criteria 01 - SVM update
1. Follow all instructions in the attached TSB 2011732 00 Software Version Management (SVM), operating instructions.
2. Update the instrument cluster (J285) using the SVM action code as listed in the table below if necessary.
Criteria 02 - Apply vehicle badging
Preparing the vehicle
1. For cold climates, allow the surface of the rear lid to warm to at least 65°F by bringing the vehicle inside before starting the repair. Failing to do
so will prevent the adhesive from adhering properly to the vehicle.
2. Clean the surface of the rear lid using soap and water, and allow the surface to fully dry.
3. Ensure no debris from the drying towel remains on the mounting surface.
Aligning the emblems
Audi Q7 Quattro 307
1. The bottom edge of the "Q7" emblem and the bottom edge of the "TDI" emblem should be aligned with each other on the same horizontal line as
indicated by the red line in Figure 1. The quattro" emblem sits below this line.
2. Use the dimensions in Figure 2 to align the emblems.
Tip: The "TDI" and "quattro" emblems should have the same approximate width, but if one of the emblems is slightly longer than the other, align
the right edge of the emblems with respect to each other (right justify).
Audi Q7 Quattro 308
3. The new "TDI" emblem comes prepared with brown adhesive paper on the front surface of the emblem to help maintain the correct spacing of the
"T", "D", and "I" during installation.
Carefully remove the wax paper covering the adhesive on the rear of the emblem. Keep the adhesive paper on the front still intact.
4. Place the emblem on the rear lid surface.
5. Gently remove the adhesive paper on the front of the emblem.
Tip: Pressing on the emblems once they are installed could cause them to shift slightly. Be careful when applying force. Always allow the adhesive
time to settle before washing the vehicle.
6. The "quattro" emblem has only a single piece of brown wax paper covering the rear adhesive.
Peel back only the right half of the paper.
7. Align the right edge.
8. Peel back the remaining paper and align the left side.
