2024644/6

January 18, 2013.

Supersedes Technical Service Bulletin Group 87 number 12-34 dated November 9, 2012 for reasons listed below.

Affected Vehicles

Condition

Moisture in the driver or front passenger foot well.

Technical Background

Due to a faulty and/or incorrectly installed condensation drain hose, condensation from the evaporator could enter the front foot well areas through a

gap between the body and the sealing surface of the drain hose.

Production Solution

Improved condensation drain hoses and improved installation process in production.

Service

1. Expose both condensation drain hoses and inspect for incorrect installation, kinks or obstructions that could compromise proper removal of

the condensation from the A/C system water drain. Refer to ElsaWeb >> Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning >> 87 Air Conditioning

>> Removal and Installation >> Condensation Water Drain Hose.

683

2. Inspect both drain hoses to identify if they are incorrectly assembled. An incorrectly assembled condensation drain hose is one where the

locating tab is pointing up (Figure 1). The correct orientation for this locating tab should be pointing down.

When the snap ring is installed upside down, it allows condensation to leak out through a hole at the bottom of the snap ring (Figure 2). The

water can then migrate into either of the front footwell carpeted areas.

3. Should the snap ring have been incorrectly installed to the body of the vehicle, do not repair the condensation drain hose assembly. Replace

the hose using the repair procedure in ElsaWeb >> Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning >> 87 Air Conditioning >> Removal and

Installation >> Condensation Water Drain Hose. Improper installation at the factory may have damaged the snap feature (opposite the locating

tab), thus creating a poor seal to the body.

Service parts have been checked, but it is still possible to receive unchecked parts. Corrected parts will be marked in white on the locating tab.

This tab must be pointing down (Figure 3).

4. If the locating tab on the new part is in the wrong position (pointing up), then use a small set of needle nose pliers to gently pull the snap ring

out of the rubber hose and align it in the correct position (pointing down). Dipping the end of the hose in soapy water may make the process

easier.

684

5. Reinstall the snap ring in the correct position (Figure 4).

6. Connect the hose to the body before connecting it to the A/C system water drain. Insert the locating tab (bottom of the hose) into the body hole

and press the top portion of the snap ring into place.

There should be an audible click to indicate the hose has made a firm connection.

7. Inspect the seal by gently tugging on the hose to ensure it is completely seated.

8. Connect the top of the hose to the A/C system water drain. Ensure that when installed there is no kink or twist in the hose. If necessary, install

a tie wrap at the A/C system water drain end of the hose if a more secure connection is required.

9. Repeat for the other side.

Vehicle Information

Condition

^ MIL on.

^ Rough idle.

^ One or more of the following DTCs are stored in the Engine Control Module (ECM), J623 (address word 01):

^ DTC P0300 (Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected).

^ DTC P0301 - P0304 (Cylinder 1 Misfire Detected - Cylinder 4 Misfire Detected).

^ Engine may have reduced performance without significant loss of power or stalling.

Technical Background

Because there are a number of different misfire faults (unrelated to ignition coil operation) that could cause the MIL to illuminate, proper Guided

Fault Finding (GFF) misfire diagnosis must be followed before any ignition coils are replaced.

Production Solution

Improved ignition coil since 2008 model year.

Service

Obtain information from the customer

717

Ask the customer the following questions about the symptoms of the condition and when it occurred. This information will be necessary for

duplicating the condition during service.

^ In what situation (while turning, etc.) does the condition occur?

^ Under what environmental conditions (road conditions, weather, temperature, start conditions, etc.) does the condition occur?

^ What is the operating situation of the vehicle (activated electrical equipment, gear selected, etc.) when the condition occurs?

^ Can the complaint be reproduced?

Workshop procedure

1. Read out the data memory of all engine control units and note the environmental conditions on the DTC log.

^ If there are other entries in addition to combustion misfires, address the other entries before addressing the cylinder misfires.

^ If DTC P0301 - P0304 (Cylinder 1 Misfire Detected - Cylinder 4 Misfire Detected) is accompanied by DTC P1250 (Fuel Level Too Low), it

is likely the faults occurred due to a low fuel level and not due to a malfunction of the coils.

^ Review all applicable technical service bulletins (TSBs) related to cylinder misfires and ECM software improvements before diagnosing the

misfire condition. For example, if the data shows that the DTC was set during cold start, search ElsaWeb for TSBs related to cold start

misfires.

2. Try to duplicate the customer complaint based on the environmental conditions at the time the DTC was set. The freeze frame data gives

important indicators for the traceability of the complaint, particularly if it occurs sporadically or at cold start.

3. Review the vehicle repair history for previous misfire service or other maintenance service that could be related to the current complaint.

4. Observe the requirements of GFF. Perform GFF in full according to the proposed sequence (test plan). Do not skip any steps.

5. Complete Guided Fault Finding correctly and set the readiness code. Doing so will ensure that no subsequent faults occur due to the misfire.

6. In the case of single cylinder misfires:

^ Before replacing components, exchange the coils to determine whether the condition migrates to the other cylinders after the coils have been

exchanged. If necessary, perform a test drive to test the condition.

Note:

Always use special tool T40039 to remove ignition coils.

^ If the misfire migrates to another cylinder with an exchanged coil, replace only the affected coil.

7. Verify the repair under the same environmental conditions (engine speed, engine load value, vehicle speed, coolant temperature, intake air

temperature, ambient air pressure, voltage at terminal 30, etc.) as noted on the DTC log.

2024687/3

August 7, 2012

Supersedes Technical Service Bulletin Group 40 number 11 - 19 dated December 9, 2011 for reasons listed below.

Affected Vehicles

81

Condition

Customer complaint:

Steering wheel oscillation at highway speeds.

Workshop findings:

^ Steering wheel oscillation, typically at a speed between 70 and 85 mph.

^ TSB 2022179 has been completed and the 1st harmonic of radial force of every tire and wheel assembly is below 18 lbs. at a tire pressure of

2.5bar.

^ Audi original equipment tires are installed on the vehicle.

^ The complaint does not involve vibration in the seat surface or other vehicle components.

Technical Background

Steering wheel vibrations and oscillations are caused by uneven roads, wheel imbalance, impermissibly high radial forces of the tires or other

rotating components on the front of the vehicle.

These ride disturbances are transmitted from the front axle and the steering system to the steering wheel.

Steering wheel oscillations are visible side-to-side movements of the steering wheel spokes and no other vibrations such as in the driver seat or the

vehicle floor are involved. If there are vibrations in the complete vehicle, i.e. in the driver seat and vehicle floor, installing the guide links with

updated bushings will not resolve the concern.

Production Solution

Updated front guide links (aka wishbone links) are equipped with larger fluid-filled bushings that help dampen steering wheel oscillation.

Service

1. Clearly verify steering wheel oscillation. Ensure TSB 2022179 has been completed and Audi original equipment tires are installed on the

vehicle. Each wheel and tire assembly must have less than 18 lbs. of road force variation.

82

2. Inspect the front guide links to determine which guide links are installed. The guide link is pictured in Figure 3, point 7.

The updated guide link has a larger fluid-filled bushing that is 75 mm in diameter.

3. If the vehicle is equipped with the original guide links that have the smaller 65 mm bushing, search ETKA by VIN and check the size of the

shouldered hex. nut (6). Example of the ETKA screen shot is pictured in Figure 5, point 6. Determine which guide links are required based on

83

the following:

^ For size M12 shouldered hex. nut use 8K0 498 998 guide link conversion kit - M12

^ For size M14 shouldered hex. nut use 8K0 498 998 A guide link conversion kit - M14

Tip: Guide links are available with two different size ball joints which are not interchangeable. Use the shouldered hex. nut (6) size to

determine the correct guide link for the VIN.

4. Install updated guide link conversion kit per the Required Parts and Tools chart below. If the kit part number is not available, guide links can

be ordered by their individual part numbers.

Tip: The bolts and nuts used to install the guide links are one-time-use and must be replaced after each removal.
