    Am I being mugged of here ?

    Despite car Being in good health and having extended warranty etc.. I have software update that I can pay for that may or may not fix the error

    This fault message is outside my control, I can understand paying for "map" updates but I am trying to understand if I should pay for this and if Audi are slapping a sneaky charge here?

    Has anyone had to pay for software updates for a fault that just one day starts and comes up intermittently?

    Hey Sat, how are you doing (bar the error below)?

    Seems very strange to me that they’d charge for the update if I’m honest but I’ve never come across this before.

    Which extended warranty have you got? All Component Audi one?

    Hey Nemo

    Long time...

    Tapatalk App wasn't installed on new phone...

    Same dramas different day here, Thanks for asking, hope all good well your end too ...

    Had the ALL COMPONENTS one in place ...,

    I have just hit 'no thanks' on it now in the Audi Cam bit after chatting to the lady as she keeps telling me Audi charge them for software updates.

    I had no issue paying it, but it just doesn't really make sense to me, considering the car has been mostly sat on the driveway with minimal use.

    Audi had updated some emissions stuff in June 2020 in by the winter we starting getting these randomly flash on VC when you start the vehicle

    I really don't understand why consumers have to fork out for random update to fix something that's not been physical changed in any way, it's not like it's a TESLA, and If were a tesla I'm sure there would be some element of free automatic updates

    Anyways ..

    I really hope that's is it's not something worse

    Anyone know what email we can use to write directly to Audi? , Is it just the Audi executive email?

    Thanks

    I was getting exactly the same issue when the car was being driven maybe ones every 2 weeks. Since wife went back to work and it's getting a regular run I haven't seen it.

    This is my take and its not based on any evidence but observations. Since the second lockdow Audi franchised have been desperately trying everything to drive up revenue and I question whether this is another easy way to generate pure profit. A general rule of software is you sell/charge for upgrades and new functions but give away patches which fix bugs. Given the fault is all in the software it's a bug not a new feature (unless the upgrade just disabled the check but that a whole new can of worms) so should be for free.

    Exactly

    I #absolutely #totally #wholeheartedly agree

    An it's exactly what I explained to them Service Rep!

    It makes no sense..

    The part about when car started to function correctly afterwards had me giggles..

    Let's hope it's the same for me then and it's just as well I declined the "so-called" software fix

    Thanks for sharing..

    Looks like I will need to stop paying for extended warranties after this 5th year on this car and and maybe consider 3rd part e.g warrantywise.. and even stop taking it to Audi possibly now after the next service ...

    I’ve had the same error messages when the car isn’t used for a while and the battery is low. After after a long drive or regular use the error doesn’t come back.

    So my take on this error is that somehow it gets triggered when battery level is low or lower than normal charge condition.

    That's interesting.. kinda fits and makes sense..

    but we still used the car just not as frequently is what confusing + don't see how customers have to pay for these errors for software updates that MAY OR MAY NOT FIX it ai...

    On another note...

    Anybody have Audi charge them a technician fee for getting stuff like checked? £120 +VAT



    They waived it this time.. I thought if you have paid for extended warranties and routine checks they normally don't charge..

    I guess AUDI do need to find income more sources..
