Help. bloody D3s....

[limoncello]

there were several tsb's all around or near a similar issue, the fixs were update the mmi to the latest or get a different update from audi to one of the modules,

sounds like the latter to me.

you have the same errors in the battery manager that i did

however that tsb says

If you have version 0240 you do not need to change it
if the SW version is between 0270 to 0490 a software change is required

yours appears to be on 230 which isnt mentioned, but that doesnt mean its not at fault.

there is also reference in the tsb that sometimes the problem causes the battery enough harm that it does end up draining, mine didnt get that far just persistent false warnings.

Cheers for that.
Once my leg is usable, I will book the car in to Audi Leeds and see what they reckon. (kerching....)

After 2 days no-use, battery completely flat (0.69 Volts)
Interior cabin dry so not the issue (obviously the battery is knackered so need a new one)

Will trickle charge today and get it to Halfords when I can to get a new battery (another £100 plus) then get it booked in to Audi for a diagnostic.... But leg still in plaster so still can't drive it.

At 0.69v the electrolyte should be completely ruined, so try not to switch the engine off. I have had two years of problems with the battery in my A8.
It was a 110Ah Silver Dynamic by VARTA. Have had green flag out 5 times, and have to charge every few weeks overnight.

A few weeks ago, it went flat after sitting with the radio for 30 minutes.
I had to get a taxi to take me to Eurocarparts and return back and fit the new one via my jump cables. Luckily it came fully charged.
I bought a Lion branded AGM 95Ah on offer for £135 (now £175). The difference between that and the VARTA is phenominal, and I have had no problems since.
The VARTA was obviously a duff or was ruined the first time it went flat after a few weeks of ownership. The Lion's crank speed and lack of wincing of illumination while cranking is impressive. The VARTA seemed to behave like a small battery with low Ah and low cranking amps. I coded it as 000915105CE

Cheers.
Will try and get the battery replaced this week then see how it goes.
