And another thing to watch

Post by jonathanb » Sat Dec 01, 2007 4:50 pm

I have exactly the same problem with my RS6 and the dealer recons they reset the system using their computer- what they actually did was fail to spot what I guess is that one of the sensors needs a new battery and in addition reset my DIS so that it no longer displays the radio from my RNS-e which was retrofitted- I do sometimes wonder just how expert these dealers ever get since the rs was in production for only 2- 3 years but I am now going to have to waste my time explaining to the service department how they should do their job- mind you I do charge £350/hour for my time so they had better listen andunderstand quickly otherwsie they will be giving me money back!!!

Took car to dealers and they had a look and 20mins later it was all fixed. Didn't charge anything either, apparently one of the sensors or valves was loose and they just needed to tighten it.

if they go off the vehicle details, as loaded, the rns-e won't be there. a triumph of process over common sense. a bit like the legal process actually... :-)
