I currently use the handbrake manually and having this switched back to automatic where it went on when the engine went off would be awesome, in fact just like my original module that Audi took out in my suspicions for the sake of a sale as apposed to fault! So if anyone has a link or knows how to either set this up that would be great. Whether this is a setting or as suggested an update of some sort.

With regards to how I approach Audi Main dealers with this, well if as I suspect my original module does work and it was a lack of knowledge by the Audi fitter on how to correctly input the brake pad thickness which instead caused them to replace my module and charge me the £261:00 at a discounted 70% of retail then I feel my first approach would once I'm up and running again with my own module would be to call or visit their service manager direct reminding him/her of my previous visit which cause great annoyance of me having me car tied up with them for the two days as a disabled person and not supplied a rental, only to be told a working part was faulty by supposed professionals who then mis-sold me a part I didn't need scrapping a perfectly working part instead of simply charging me a charge for the time of inputting the data required off the fault code that not only I had given them but they had charged me £65 also discounted at 70% to just simply list in their report "Confirmed Customer Complaint!" I will back this up with a copy of their own report and my own written list of codes I gave them when booking it in. I obviously want my money back for the mis-sold part, and due to have to scheduling my work away for two days due to not having a car and the inconvenience of not having a car and being stuck at home for the two day... what would you say would be a realistic claim to go for over and above the full refund for the ripping me off and causing me loss of earnings and incapacitating my movements? I was thinking about a Voucher for my next service? is this realistic asking for this amount down this route, or can those who've dealt with Audi making complaints before suggest something more appropriate?
