  1. Indeed, the auxiliary battery is segregated from my circuit by a switch, which activates just after the ignition if the BCM/ECU detects a low voltage in the auxiliary battery. While there may be a relay malfunction, it is necessary to get the diagnostic codes. Inspect the BCM wire, since it is susceptible to corrosion. The voltage regulator may be nearing the end of its lifespan, and an occasional voltage decrease while charging might have triggered the alert.

  4. Do you want the repair to seem flawless? If not, what about bridging the area between the two screws in your image with a flat metal strap, brace, or mending plate? It is possible to paint it black, since Home Depot has pre-painted black repair plates. It would not seem original equipment manufacturer (OEM), but it is likely to provide the daytime running light with the necessary support now absent owing to the missing tab. Additionally, it should be cost-effective.

  6. Update: Disregard my previous statement; it seems that the tab is integral to the daytime running light. I searched but could not see a distinct listing for the tab alone. Consider visiting a salvage yard. Alternatively, a self-service salvage yard may allow you to extract just the specific component you want. Two images below from
  7. Could you provide an image of the driver's side, namely the area where the component is absent? Update: Refer to my subsequent article below.
  8. In the US, the 4-zone feature is included in the "Comfort Pack" for the P550E. What is the issue with 3 Zone? Provided that the back air conditioning may be independently regulated, it is OK. Does the 4-zone system include an extra vent or compressor in the rear?
  9. An further noteworthy observation from this document is the much greater standard features offered by the P550e compared to the P400, which somewhat rationalizes the pricing disparity between the two models. I was previously contemplating the reason for the $12,000 discrepancy. Here are certain features that are standard on the P550e but absent on the P400: Electronic air suspension with dynamic response, including 24-way heated and cooled massage functionality. Front seats with power reclining, heated and ventilated. posterior seating Tri-Zonal Climate Regulation Edit: The 24-way massage seat seems too wonderful to be true since it differs from the configurator. I spoke with the dealer, and while the order guide indicates it as standard for the P550e, it is really included in the Windsor leather upgrade, therefore not quite standard.
  10. I wanted to share this to assist others in placing an order. The comparative tables of various trims/models are quite beneficial and hardly unattainable on the internet in this organized way.
  11. As shown in my profile, I have accomplished what you are referencing. Trust me, irrespective of the car's appearance, there will be significant body corrosion. All rubber grommets, bushings, hoses, and seals need replacement. I have completed all the work alone, and my wife asserts it was a full-time occupation for three years. Additionally, there are between $10,000 to $15,000 in components and supplies. Unless the vehicle have considerable emotional significance, I concur with NYw126-91's recommendation. Invest the funds in a high-quality, later model year vehicle. I am located in South Carolina; nevertheless, if you like to proceed, please direct message me so we may exchange insights.
  12. Do these wheels have a specific designation? What is the specific name of the style? I possess the specific component number, nevertheless, I am interested in acquiring a whole set of these items in a glossy black finish. I am contemplating the most effective method of referring to or identifying them.
  13. I have used almost two full tanks of gasoline in my vehicle in an attempt to identify the source of the error code (P0421). However, I have seen this error code on both the left and right banks of the engine (P0421, P0431). According to Ricky at REP, these engines are not designed to be used with a low fuel mixture. To ensure the engine's well-being, I recommend driving it smoothly for the whole 150-mile journey directly to Audi. It is preferable that you have another malfunctioning sensor rather than a cat that is dying. During my investigation, I encountered a scarcity of reported instances of cat failures. It is worth noting that my items are physically intact and have been tested to operate properly using a temperature gun. Additionally, I possess the necessary codes for them. I have attempted to explore many issues, including a cracked exhaust, a vacuum leak, jammed injectors, a weak fuel pump, a stopped fuel filter, carbon buildup, and stuck flapper valves. Kindly inform us, as it may assist me.
