Jasp Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Hi, I've recently looked at a used 2004 Audi A6 2.5TDI Multitronic 163hp but it has a problem. 1) The display has PRNDS flashing. 2) Flooring the accelerator didn't seem to give me the expected level of acceleration. From what I've read on the net the display would seem to indicate a faulty TCU. Would that put the car into limp mode or reduce the power delivered to the wheels? If it is the TCU does anyone know of any places that could fit a replacement that is nearer to Reading, than Inde-tech? I understand the replacement is likely to cost in the region of £1000. I think I have figured out the part number I need is either 01J927156GN or 01J927156FK (Engine is: BDG) but I can't find any place online with that part number available.

Nelson_R32 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 The Multronic ECU's are incredibly complex in there coding. So there are litterally hundreds of different ECU's. The chances of finding the one you want are slim to none. Does the car have full Audi Service or low mileage? If so Audi will be able to make quite a significant contribution to your cost.

If so Audi will be able to make quite a significant contribution to your cost. Full Audi service history I believe, but 60,000 miles. I assume that's too much for Audi to help me. Seller said they'd fix it... I'm going to guess they won't though, and I'll have to look for something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelson_R32 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 60000 miles should get you a 30-40% contribution. Best to have a word with your local Audi Centre who can advise further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiser647 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Really? That sounds good.Thanks. I'll investigate. I'd walk. don't buy it with such a potentially expensive fault - even if fixed, what else have they scrimped on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetrolDave Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 I'd walk. don't buy it with such a potentially expensive fault - even if fixed, what else have they scrimped on? Exactly my thoughts too. There's plenty of cars out there, no need to take unnecessary risks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
