Trying doing a test on the compressor first using vcds with the help of the label file from the following thread

http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=10823

If you watch the following video you can see how to test the compressor, ignore the other waffle as it was related to somebody else's issues.

If you watch until the point of login then skip to 14:30 you will see how to test the compressor

Thats after entering the security code right?

If you don't enter the security code you cant run test either.

Before basic settings click on security-16 and enter the code

Also if you do get at it remember the test will only run for a minute, i had to do mine a few times to to get to 16 bar which is the max

Yeah I definitely went through security access, then when I clicked Do it! after typing 08367 I got a little error box saying it wasn't possible.

I wonder if the fact that the basic settings are messed up are preventing any access.

Well the car went into Audi today for an EVHC anyway, and it came back fully working again with no suspension faults without me mentioning it. So whatever they did while it was in, worked.
