#13 Report Post Old 25th April 2016, 02:03 PM velour velour is offline Junior Member Hi all, Thanks again for the replies. Quick update: The droning noise was a wheel bearing, replaced and noise issue is solved. Cost approx £300 at the local indi for reference. Did not fix the sports diff light though, coincidental. That turned out to be 2 sensors (temp and oil level) and 2 of the clutch / fluid valves controlling the hydraulics in the sports diff. That was sorted out at the dealer - shade over £800 (ouch). Master tech confirmed that the main cause of the light coming on is electronics / generally sensor problems. From the research I did this seems to be fairly common across sports diff on A4s. |

Thank you
It's a 2010 4.2 Tdi. Cdsb I think is engine code and mxx is gearbox I believe Not sure if it's 2 separate sensors or one combined It's the oil pressure and temperature sensor/s On the sports diff Thanks Nath |

Hiya
Well that was a right bugger to track down in Etka! Those are revised part numbers, as of December 2013. Cost is £100.49 each at full RRP There's no pics within Etka for these I guess it could be 1 faulty sensor, rather than 2, since it appears to be flagging a discrepancy between the values it's presenting. Looking at Elsawin it appears 'sender 2' is the black one (G640) You should not change both sensors at the same time! It looks quite involved in terms of access and isn't simply swap it and forget about it. You also need a 27mm socket I've attached the Elsawin page for info

Many thanks mate
This is most appreciated I actually have a picture of the sports diff uploaded to Flickr Problem is I'm at work and it's not set to public yet I'll do it when I'm at home I'm gonna order the black one and see what happens While I'm at it I may as well change the diff atf fluid I'll try to find out which fluid it likes Hope it's not the stupid stuff that's according to Audi is more than gold |

okay for future referance and just in case anyone else has the same happen
here im hoping is the offending item https://www.flickr.com/photos/235252...posted-public/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/235252...posted-public/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/235252...posted-public/ a 27mm socket is required to change the sensor and the new sensor does require adaptation (not had a look how you do that yet as never done one but have got vcds ) will top up with frsh atf fluid if anyone can find what transmission fluid it is please that would be fantastic got to give thanks to adrian e he has helped massively on this thanks mate |
