Sinewave Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Hi all After a couple of weeks reading this post I decided to order a cruise control kit and a DIS control stalk. I fitted both today to my 2005 A4 Avant S-line, and they work perfectly, so a big thank you to all that have posted instructions on how to fit them. Good work!

norfolk-boy Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Hi All, I too have been looking at this thread and decided to take the plung and do these mods. Well I have been at it all day and the mechanical bits where ok and I took my time all ok. The coding was not to bad except I got the same fault on the ABS module as stevebootes (thanks for updating the post) and got that sorted after a few drives. The DIS works fine straight away, but the cruise has not worked at all! I went out for a drive a few times about 4 miles each time with no joy to see if it would spring in to life, no joy. I decided to short out the clutch switch with some wire and go for a drive. The car was then very slugish and no pull at all. I got back and ran a full scan and was well gutted when I got the following codes : Saturday,05,December,2009,17:47:55:23547 VCDS Version: Release 908.1 Address 01: Engine Labels: 038-906-019-AVF.lbl Control Module Part Number: 038 906 019 JT Component and/or Version: 1,9l R4 EDC G000SG 1572 Software Coding: 10003 Work Shop Code: WSC 63351 5 Faults Found: 17849 - EGR Valve (N18): Open Circuit or Short to Ground P1441 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent 17957 - Boost Pressure Regulation Valve (N75): Open or Short to Ground P1549 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent 16955 - Brake Switch (F): Implausible Signal P0571 - 35-00 - - 19561 - Valve for Intake Manifold Flap (N239): Open or Short to Ground P3105 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent 19463 - Camshaft Position Sensor (G40): No Signal P3007 - 35-00 - - Readiness: 0 0 X X X I have searched the web for similar issues and found the only match on a Polish site. This turned out to be a fuse (in the engine bay) on a 2002 passat . I have since check all the "engine managment" fuses in the fuse box but all are ok. I have checked the clutch switch and I am not getting any power to it to ground out. I have also checked the switch and it looks like it is open circuit all the time (I should think this was reason for no CC). I am now at a loss to find the feed as I do not have a wiring diagrams and cannot tell where the power comes from or what fuse/ relay it passes through (cannot find any on the web). So if anyone can help please it would be really appreciated especially as I need the thing for Monday morning Other than this issue everything else in this post was top notch.

paul_tdi Posted December 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Very difficult to comment without seeing the car but it could be possible that you have shorted the brake switch? Only reason I say this is that when my brake switch failed the car went into limp/safe mode and had the ECU fault (Glow plug light flashes). Worth a double check?

shark_90 Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 As Paul said, are you sure you shorted the clutch switch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norfolk-boy Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Hi guys, Yes definatly the clutch the blue one on the right directly above the clutch pedal. I have at last got to the bottom of all the engine codes eventually. A friend had access to some decent infomation. The Haynes manuall is rubbish:mad:. The issue was a fuse in the ECM housing under the bonnet a 15A normal one that supplies the ECM with power for a multitude of sensors, could not find that nugget of infoamtion anywhere on the web. The same issue as the Polish guy! So that was sorted after I have changed modules and then back again, just to be sure. The Airbag is now unable to talk to the car so I think I have screwed the clockspring as the steering angle sensor is not working either when logged in to it and moving the steering wheel :mad:. I was so careful with the b***dy thing as well. So will order up new bits for next weekend. I so hope it work out then ok. I did not try and short out the clutch spring as well as I have 350 miles this week to do for work!! That can wait till next weekend. Thanks for the replies and I will update on the next stage, and If you have any advice would be appreciated. Thanks again+++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisash32 Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 (edited) Hi Guys! I am going to have a shot at fitting DIS and Cruise to my 2004 A4 Avant over the Christmas Holls! Quick question though, if i want to fit a MFSW at a later date, which steering wheel control module do i need? As from what i understand some work with just DIS, some with DIS and Cruise, other work with all three including MFSW... I have been offered an 'N' and a 'Q' module.. Just wondered which was best to go for.. Also, would you get a "used" module? they seem far cheaper to pick-up from breakers rather new from Audi! Just wondered if they were an issue to re-code the VIN?? Cheers! Chris Edited December 21, 2009 by chrisash32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisash32 Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 I went for the Q module.... I hope that's right for my car!!! Cheers! Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark_90 Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Good choice, Q should be MFSW compatible from memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisash32 Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Good choice, Q should be MFSW compatible from memory. I hope so! I don't intend to install one now, however I will in future. Shark, would you mind if i email / PM you a photo of the module? As it looks slightly different to the N ones that i have seen. 'N' Modules I have seen seem to have this clear plastic circular bit on the front, but the one i have ordered doest. Just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing any parts before I start fitting.

Sinewave Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Mine is a "Q" and I have installed DIS and Cruise with no problems and also have MFSW, I have the clear plastic on front of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats good to know! Will have to look out for a MFSW now.. I really like the B7 ones so want to get one of them. I am going to steal the clear plastic bit from my old module..

shark_90 Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Thats good to know! Will have to look out for a MFSW now.. I really like the B7 ones so want to get one of them. Don't do it. Dual stage airbag + single stage controller = death Also, the module is just the horse shoe shaped bit at the back, the rest of it are seperate (i.e. additional) parts.

Confused as hell now! loll So are you saying that a B7 MFSW wont work in a B6? if so thats ok.. for now... You are not referring to me swapping the horse shoe part of the module form my old controller to the new one? That wont = death will it? :confused: ---- Quick one as well, i know this has probably been covered and i should just search... but how do i find the login code for my controllers? Cheers!

PetrolDave Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 So are you saying that a B7 MFSW wont work in a B6? if so thats ok.. That's EXACTLY what we are saying. The airbag system is completely different between the B6 and B7. So far there's only 1 documented crash of a B6 with a retrofitted B7 MFSW ... all the passenger airbags deployed but the driver one didn't so the driver had injuries where his face hit the steering wheel. DON'T DO IT!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vrbob Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Hi Guys, I am new to this forum but am on a few other Audi forums already which is where i was directed to this thread with its wealth if info! Anyway cutting to the point in hand i have just got a Audi A4 B6 Avant but its the sport model and therefore does not have DIS installed and also no cruise control. So i am keen to retrofit these items. I am also concidering doing a Multifunction steering wheel as i have RNS-E and an Auto gearbox so that would be a nice little add on. Now i have already managed to source a DIS wiper stalk so i basically wanted to confirm with you guys what exactly i need to be shopping for as i don't wanna end up buying the wrong stuff. So this is whta i think i am looking for and if anyone can confirm or correct my shopping list that would be great : 1. Steering Control Module part number 8E0 953 549 and either N or R 2. Steeering Slipring 8E0 953 541 D 3. Cruise Control Arm (not sure of part number but i think its 9E0 853 521 4PK) 4. B6 Multifunction Steering Wheel inc Tip Tronic buttons (i think the only B6 version of this is the 4 spoke design with some of the button intergrated into the airbag). Any help is appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quattros Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 i read through the whole thread, but didnt get the answer for the sensor retrofit part. I know one wire goes to ground and the other goes into the #8 spot? Does the non ground wire go to the #8 spot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
