IT, you were spot on with the fuse hunt.
They did check fuses, but I did not remember them going into the passenger side end of dashboard one. I know they did the drivers side as there is grease on the cover.
In the passenger side fusebox is a 25 Amp fuse labeled as Electronic Stability Control, it had blown to pieces. Luckily I had a spare, so replaced it and fired up the car. Result no faults showing on dashboard, I then left the car idling to see if the fuse blew again and it did not so I took it for a drive. Normal service resumed, a clear dash with no fault lights even after going for a drive.
They are familiar with most VAG group cars, and I think mine was the first A8 that issues with. I guess they did not know about the other fusebox, so did not check that side.
I'll email them shortly and let them know my findings, and save them trying to source a replacement module.
