Which model?

Component protection can be removed by Audi for an hours labour ~£100 depending on the dealer.

Only Audi can remove this due to an online connection being needed with Germany.

Its an A4 2.0 TDI 170 S-Line 2006. My local dealer told me there was no way to remove it, although i have seen tutorials for the VAG software showing you how to remove it.

I might try another dealer, or does anybody on here do that typr of thing?

Many thanks.

They can remove it as it requires a connection to Germany.
