This follows on from the thread about a seriously poor design allowing a computer to take control of a car when nothing is wrong with dire results! see my thread.

I have decided I will talk to Audi and also look into the control module initially by talking to my usual ecu repairer. I will check the plug onto it and then remove it if it looks ok.

The abs module is hidden under the battery on the bulkhead.....has anybody removed it?

First can the ecu be removed from the pump like on earlier audi's? probably not with the manufacturers drive to make cars non repairable!

Then assuming I need to take the whole unit off....has anybody done so? Can I remove trhe battery, batter box/tray and access it from above? or is there a better way, it looks busy from underneath!
