Condition

Discontinuation and mixing of Audi-approved engine coolants.

Technical Background

^ G11, G12, and G12+ coolants have been replaced by an improved version.

^ G12++ coolant (for service available) has been introduced in MY 2005 for all engines.

^ G13 has been introduced in MY 2008 as factory filling and service.

Production Solution

No production change required.

Service

Identifying and Mixing Factory Fill Engine Coolants

745

1. Based on its color, identify which coolant the vehicle was filled with from the factory (Figure 1).

Tip:

Figure 1 is shown for color identification only; coolant packaging may vary.

2. Using the chart at right, determine if the vehicle has the correct coolant (Figure 2). If a vehicle is found to have the incorrect coolant, drain and

fill the coolant system using the repair manual procedures in ElsaWeb.

Note:

Coolants can be mixed, as described in the chart, but it is always best practice to change the coolant due to reduced corrosion protection

when coolants are mixed (exception: G12++ and G13 are fully compatible).

Note:

W12 6.3 engines require special G13 coolant only: G A13A8JM1. No other coolant is allowed, and no other coolant can be mixed with this

coolant.

Note:

When the coolant is changed due to a cooling system issue, the cooling system should be drained using the repair manual procedures in

ElsaWeb and refilled with water and the engine run for 15 minutes with the heater on to remove any residual coolant. Then drain and fill the

system to the freeze protection ratio listed in ElsaWeb.

Tip:

Cooling system drain and fill due to coolant mixing, or incorrect coolant, is not covered by warranty.

2003658/4

October 16, 2009.

Supersedes Technical Service Bulletin Group 01 number 08-16 dated November 25, 2008 for reasons listed below.

Affected Vehicles

Condition

Customer states:

^ Engine returns to idle speed of approximately 1,400 RPM although the accelerator is depressed.

^ Vehicle hesitates (lacks power on take-off).

Condition may be caused when the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal are depressed simultaneously.

Please review the driving habit of the client. Clients who consciously or unconsciously drive with their left foot resting on the brake pedal are prone

to experience this condition.

Technical Background

With the introduction of Electronic Power Control (EPC) (no accelerator cable) to fuel injection systems, an engine RPM control feature has been

incorporated into the engine electronic control system software.

Application of both brake and accelerator pedals at the same time (brake pedal with left foot and accelerator pedal with right foot) results in the

following:

^ Brake pedal function (normal at all times) overrides any throttle application.

^ Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) will not be stored.

If brake pedal is applied while accelerator pedal is depressed, after approximately two seconds, engine RPMs will return to idle speed of 1400

RPMs.

If accelerator is applied while brake pedal is depressed, vehicle accelerates slower than usual (reduced engine torque).

Production Solution

Not applicable.

496

Service

1. Test drive vehicle with customer to duplicate condition.

2. During test drive, observe customer's driving habits to determine if customer drives and/or brakes with his/her left foot.

3. After test drive with customer, connect a VAS diagnostic tool and check for any stored DTCs.

^ If DTCs are found, repair as necessary.

^ If no DTCs are found, explain the previously listed technical correlation between brake pedal and accelerator functionality to the customer.

-- Brake pedal overrides the accelerator pedal application at all times.

-- It is best not to drive with the left foot resting on the brake pedal.

Vehicle Information

Condition

The door cannot be opened from outside with the outer door handle, but it can be opened with the inner handle. The complaint is often described as

follows: The customer locks the vehicle and checks by pulling the door handle whether the vehicle is locked. When opening the vehicle again, the

door cannot be opened. It feels as if the handle is slack.

Audi A4 Quattro Sedan (8K2) L4-2.0L Turbo (CAEB) Page 703

Technical Background

When fitting the Bowden cable from the mounting bar to the door lock, the cable can get kinked. In some cases, this can increase the inner friction of

the strand in the Bowden cable. As a result, the door lock stays in pressed position or does not completely return to its zero position (Figure 1).

When the Bowden cable gets twisted during the installation, the rubber grommets can get distorted. Consequently, the Bowden cable has a too-high

inner friction and the door lock does not move to the zero position (Figure 2).

Improved cable with 'L'-shaped attachment (Figure 3). Improved positioning of the locking collar.

Service

1. Replace the cable. The bow does not need to be replaced unless damage to the component is evident. Remove/install the latch carrier ("bow"

according to ETKA) and Bowden cable together, as a set, according to the repair manual:

Contacts may be widened (over 0.63 mm) by using incorrect pins or incorrect methods for current flow tests. Either action may cause intermittent

electrical connections. This may cause sporadic DTCs to be stored in various control modules.

PRODUCTION SOLUTION

Not applicable.

SERVICE

1. Check the contacts on the control module and connector.

a. Verify that all pins and terminals are securely clipped into the connectors.

b. Verify that no pins are bent or deformed.

Audi A4 Quattro Sedan (8K2) L4-2.0L Turbo (CAEB) Page 641

c. Verify proper crimping as described and illustrated in Figure 1.

^ Pin/terminal must be crimped onto the wire (Figure 1, A).

^ Pin/terminal must be crimped onto the wire sheathing (Figure 1, B).

2. Mechanically check the contacts on the control module and connector.

Test the individual terminals by using the standard 0.63 mm male pin (see Figure 1 and Parts Table) to verify proper contact. Make sure that the

test pin is not twisted and is inserted correctly into the female terminal. The contact must be tight, but it must still allow the pin to slide into the

terminal of the control module connector.

Only use the 0.63 mm male pins because the female terminals are designed for these pins, which are the only terminals found in the connectors for

the above-mentioned control modules.

3. If the pin/terminal is deformed, improperly crimped or does not contact correctly, the contact must be replaced with the VAS 1978A repair kit or

ordered in sets.

A/C - Moisture In Driver Or Front Passenger Footwell

87 Moisture in driver or front passenger footwell

87 13 39

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.

Keyless Entry - Door Handle Touch Sensor(s) Inoperative

57 Door handle touch sensors (Advanced key) inoperative

57 11 52

2027353/1

August 17, 2011.

347

Affected Vehicles

Condition

The exterior door handle touch sensors (Advanced key) are inoperative on one or several doors.

The key blade can be used mechanically (driver door or trunk) or remote electrically (key remote buttons) to unlock and lock the vehicle.

^ Any or all of the following DTC 03285, 03286, 00192, or 00193 (Outside door handle touch sensor - short to ground or incorrect signal) may be

stored in the Access and Start Authorization Control Module J393 (address word 05).

- OR -

^ No relevant DTC stored.

Technical Background

Concept-related restrictions

1. Advanced key functions can temporarily be disabled by interference from transmitters in close proximity to remote key, using the same frequency

range (e.g. cell phones, wireless headphones, other vehicle keys etc.) as no positive identification is possible.

2. If the customer reaches into the door handle while touching the lock sensor to lock the vehicle it will not be locked. This is because the unlocking

command from the sensor is sent at the same time and has a higher priority.

3. The Advanced key system needs a short response time for the key identification. When grabbing and pulling the door handle very quickly, the key

may not yet be identified and the vehicle does not unlock.

4. Unlocking the door after locking it is not possible for a brief period. This allows the customer to check that the door is locked by pulling the

handle.

5. To reduce power consumption the door handle touch sensors are deactivated after the vehicle has been parked for a few days. It is then necessary

to first wake the vehicle by pulling the door handle once and then a second time to open the vehicle.

6. If the vehicle battery is discharged the energy management system gradually deactivates unnecessary convenience functions. It is possible that you

will temporarily not be able to unlock your vehicle using Advance key.

Advanced Key System Component Issues

1. The magnet under the cap of the door handle may not be installed.

2. After driving through a car wash or in the rain the advanced key system is intermittently inoperative as water may enter the door handle touch

sensor rubber sleeve and prevent proper operation.

3. Incorrect touch sensors installed.

Tip: If a DTC for any one of the door handle touch sensors is permanently stored into the Access and Start Authorization Control Module J393

(address word 05), the advance key feature will not work for all the doors.

Production Solution

Optimized door handle touch sensors

Service

1. Explain the concept related-restrictions to the customer. If the customer is not experiencing these issues proceed with the following steps.

348

2. Check Measured Value Block 43 in Access and Start Authorization Control Module J393. If the second bit from the right (Hall sensor) of the

affected door handle is always 1 the handle must be checked for an installed magnet.

349

3. Pull the affected door handle open and check if the magnet is installed (indicated as position 8 in ETKA illustrations and seen in Figures 3-5).

If the magnet is missing, install the magnet.

4. If the second bit from the right of the affected door handle is 0, using Guided Fault Finding check the wiring of each door handle for which a DTC

is logged in the Access and Start Authorization Control Module J393. If there are no problems with the wiring, procedure with step 5.

5. Check in Measured Value Block 43 the locking and unlocking function using Advanced key for every door handle. If a door handle does not

respond properly proceed to step 6.

6. Remove the touch sensors from the door handles to check the part number. During the removal make sure that the sensor is pried out using a

350

screwdriver according to the repair manual.

7. Replace all door handle sensors with part number 8K0 927 753 or 8K0 927 753A. Part numbers 8K0 927 753B and 8K0 927 753C are optimized

- do not replace them.

2021292/3

January 21, 2011.

Supersedes Technical Service Bulletin Group 38 number 10 - 01 dated March 19, 2010 for the reasons listed below.

AFFECTED VEHICLES

CONDITION

Customer may report:

^ At startup, intermittent no drive when selecting driving mode D or R.

^ The vehicle can be driven only in 3rd gear (Limp Home Mode).

Workshop findings:

^ In rare circumstances, if the vehicle was in motion and the ATF strainer becomes loose, the transmission may go into Limp Mode and can be

driven in only 3rd gear.

^ In cold conditions, the gearbox shifts with a delay. In hot conditions, suction noises occur.

^ The following DTCs may be stored in the transmission control unit:

^ DTC P0730 (Transmission monitoring incorrect gear ratio)

^ DTC P2700 (Clutch A implausible)

^ DTC P2701 (Clutch B implausible)

^ DTC P2702 (Clutch C implausible)

^ DTC P2703 (Clutch D implausible)

TECHNICAL BACKGROUND

Because of a design change, the ATF strainer can come loose from the guide of the ATF pump intake duct. As a result, air can be drawn in. Air

causes the oil to foam, which prevents the clutches from closing completely.

PRODUCTION SOLUTION

Optimized ATF filter.

SERVICE

If the complaint can be reproduced, proceed as follows:

405

1. Check the gearbox control unit for the above entries and create a diagnosis protocol.

^ If there are no faults stored but the concern can be duplicated; proceed to step 2.

^ If one or more of the above DTCs are stored, proceed to step 3.

2. Check the ATF level per ELSA instructions.

^ If the fluid level seems too high and foamy due to air mixed with the ATF, proceed to step 3.

^ If the fluid is at the correct level and the fluid is not foamy, open a Technical Assistance Center (TAC) ticket and contact a TAC representative.

3. Drain the ATF into a clean container and remove the ATF pan.

Tip: Catch the ATF in a clean container and reuse it after the repair.

4. If the filter was found in the bottom of the pan, proceed to step 6.

5. If the filter is still seated in the valve body, try to remove it with light force.

^ When removed, if the filter seal remained behind in the valve body or is not fully installed on the neck of the filter, proceed to step 6.

^ If the seal is fully installed on the filter as shown in Figure 1, open a TAC ticket and contact a TAC representative.

6. Replace the ATF filter with a new filter according to the Repair Manual.

Note:

Make sure that the magnets in the oil sump are not stuck on the underside (metal side) of the loose ATF filter and are not removed with the old

strainer. The magnets must be reinstalled in the pan to protect the transmission from metallic particle abrasion in their correct original location.

7. If there are complaints of gear shift quality after replacing the ATF filter, clear the adaptations in the test plan and then perform the GFF or

Guided Functions Adaptation Drive.
