Default 5F 2G/3G question?

Hi there,

I have a 2011 A8 4.2TDi that I found out recently has had a 'new' 5F unit fitted at some point before I bought it.

I don't know what version the original one was all I know is it went into an Audi dealer to be software updated at the owners request and ever since then there has only been 2G showing in the display.

The last owner is 100% certain that he used to get 3G with a GifGaf SIM until the update and I use an O2 4G SIM taken from my iPhone but only ever get 2G in the car.

The dealer apparently tried his GifGaf SIM that is known to work on 3G in an Audi but only sees 2G in my car.

VCDS reports my 5F unit as follows;

Address 5F: Information Electr. Labels: 4E0-035-6xx-5F.clb
Control Module Part Number: 4H0 035 654 B HW: 4H0 035 670 C
Component and/or Version: H-BNT-EU H41 1034
Software Coding: 020101000001F9EF7D368B1E00000003080001000000000000


Do any of you have 3G working in your car and if so what are the 5F details please?

I am wondering why I see both 4H0 035 654 B and 670 C as part number and hardware versions?

Also would be interested in Component version & Software coding to compare to mine.

After doing some research I *think* I have a handle on why it might not be displaying 3G but the previous owner is adamant that it was OK before it went into Audi last year for a software update which probably kicks my theory into touch!

It has been back to Audi since I have had it no no avail but I believe all that was done was the same software upgrade the car had the previous time and they had the car a whole day for the privilege.

They tell me they are 'willing to discuss this with Brand' which I take to mean they will follow this up with Audi GmbH but that was last October and they want the car back in for yet another day and want to charge me £60 diagnostic fee for the privilege for something they might have screwed up in the first place and have kept me waiting for a resolution since October last year which I think is taking the ****!

On a related note the same Audi dealer also want to charge me £25 for the courtesy loan car while they have mine in for another day for a full service (£500) set of tyres (£800) discs & pads all round (£1200) MOT (£50 without any remedials) plus £60 each just to diagnose a clunking n/s/f suspension, the 2G/3G issue and some other bits & pieces.

Not happy so have already had the MOT & tyres done and am in the process of getting quotes for brakes & service elsewhere.

That will just leave them the 2G/3G issue to sort...a fine example of being penny wise/pound foolish IMHO missing out on @£3k of service work for the sake of charging me £25 for a courtesy loan vehicle.

Thanks & kind regards,
