HVAC Adaptation failed >> 01087 - Basic Setting Not Performed

[Guray]

Hi all,

This is my first problem encounter with HVAC problem and I will really appreciate your help here.

1:> Very short history for a background
Everything started with error codes

00819 - High Pressure Sensor (G65)
002 - Lower Limit Exceeded - Intermittent

And ended up with 2 AC pipes been changed

2:> Then another problem manifested itself >> Basic settings not performed.
a) Here my own garage is asking about 20 hours of labor to take dash board totally out in order to access unit itself
b) Tomorrow (11AUG20) going to official Audi Reading to perform diagnostics, while I have my own reservations after short discussion with them on Fri/07AUG2020

3:> Activity in question
Performing basic settings adaptation and operation is failing. Have a video captured during adaptation, but my efforts to upload it failed, so will go with transcript:
a) Basic settings adaptation started (On/OFF/Next)
b) Flaps started to move and make noise (step_1.jpg)
c) 00:49.33 sec >> learn/adap switched to <0.00V> <Not Occup.> <0.0%> and <11.70V> (step_2.jpg)
d) 00:49.50 sec >> switched to <Aborted> <N/A> <N/A> <11.70V> (step_3.jpg)
e) 00:49.63 sec >> Switched to <N/A> <N/A> <N/A> <N/A> (step_4)


4:> Questions
a) Are those basic settings importable ? Assuming I have them as binary file, can it be uploaded to controller using VCDS or been manually populated ?
b) Any way (using VCDS) to disable 'perform basic settings adaptation' routing been show_stopper for A/C compressor to work properly ?
c) Any means to 'reset' OR 'reboot' controller and force it back to normal ? Some suggest to disconnect battery and wait for 10 mins ?


5:> The Bottom line
In the most AirCon requiring time of the year, it is quite annoying to not have A/C working and I will appreciate any shape or form of Your help to get this fixed. Any technical operation(s) and/or any capable person/garage whom/which You think is the best stop-over, let me know ???


Many thanks in advance, stay safe,
Guray
