PRODUCTION SOLUTION

Not applicable.

SERVICE

1. Remove cigarette lighter fuse.

2. Remove lighter element.

3. Using a flat blade screwdriver, bend retaining tabs (Figure 1, arrow) inward.

4. Install lighter element and fuse.

5. Test operation several times to ensure lighter pops out and functions normally.

2020049/2

August 10, 2010

Supersedes Technical Service Bulletin Group 94 number 09-07 dated February 26, 2009 for reasons listed below.

Affected Vehicles

CONDITION

482

^ The customer may report water in the front fog lights.

^ A headlight warning symbol may appear in the IP cluster display.

TECHNICAL BACKGROUND

Because of the high operating temperatures of the bulbs, lights are constructed as open, breathing systems. As a result, humid air (from fog, when

driving in rain, etc.) can get into the lights.

The front fog lights have two vents to keep them dry. When driving, increased pressure is applied to one vent and a slight vacuum is applied to the

other vent. This ensures air circulation in the lights to speed the drying of humid lights. Switching on the light also speeds up drying.

Water may enter through the vents when driving through deep water For such cases, specific retrofitting kits for the front fog lights are available.

With the retrofitting kit, one opening is closed watertight, and a water-repellent element is installed on the second opening. The water-repellent

element allows pressure compensation but is watertight.

Tip: If humidity gets into the special fog light after bulb replacement, it will stay because of the missing ventilation system. In this case, the fog light

has to be dried manually.

PRODUCTION SOLUTION

Not applicable.

SERVICE

1. Clean steamed-up front fog lights (Figure 2) according to TSB 2012749.

2. Check the seal of the fog lamp for damage after completing TSB 2012749.

^ If there is strong dripping, replace the front fog lights without retrofitting kit.

483

^ In case of major water ingress (Figure 3) or massive corrosion of the reflector, replace the front fog lights with water-repellent elements and plugs.

Two elements and two plugs are included in retrofitting kit 8R0 998 109. One retrofitting kit is enough for both front fog lights.

Standard A6 front fog lamp: Install the water-repellent element and the plug as shown in Figure 4.

S line of front fog lights: Install the water-repellent element and the plug as shown in Figure 5.

August 10, 2010

Supersedes Technical Service Bulletin Group 94 number 09-27 dated September 2, 2009 for reasons listed below.

Affected Vehicles

CONDITION

226

The customer may report:

^ The inside of the taillight lens is fogged up.

^ Large drops of water may or may not be forming inside the taillight.

The function of the taillight is not affected.

TECHNICAL BACKGROUND

Humid air settles on the inside of the lens. This is a naturally-occurring phenomenon.

Large water drops or even accumulations are caused by a leak in the taillight. Poorly fitting covers, damaged seals or a cracked lens is usually the

root cause.

PRODUCTION SOLUTION

Not applicable.

SERVICE

If water is dripping from inside the lens or is accumulating inside the lens:

If there is a lot of dripping on the inside of lens (Figure 1) or if water is accumulating (Figure 2), the taillight leaks.

^ If a damaged seal or cracked lens is the root cause, replace the affected taillight with a standard taillight as directed in TSB 2012749 94 Exterior

lights, moisture accumulation.

^ If a poorly fitted cover is the root cause, remove the water from the taillight and let it dry. As long as water spots in the visible area or water

corrosion are not present, reinstall the taillight. Otherwise replace it with a standard taillight.

Tip: Installation of anti-fog coated taillights is not approved if water is dripping or accumulating inside the lens.

If humid air has settled on the inside of the lens:

Taillights with anti-fog coating should be installed only in repeated-repair cases or if the condition persists after performing TSB 2012749 94

227

Exterior lights, moisture accumulation. The following information is required when submitting the warranty claim:

^ The claim number of the first taillight replacement due to condensation.

^ Photos of the currently affected taillight in installed condition.

If the taillight resembles Figure 3, 4, 5 or 6, install a taillight with anti-fog coating.

The anti-fog coated taillight looks the same as the standard taillight and can therefore be replaced individually.

Tip: In the Audi A6, anti-fog coating is available only for LED taillights.
