You are not the only one here Matt gasping for answers
Thank you for your involvement anyway, much appreciated

So far, with my little technical knowledge, I can only think about two scenarios:
- A6 will notify you about the loss of pressure but won't tell you which will it is
- A8 aerials are much weaker than A6, but knowing what I know so far they are probably same aerials, therefore the question is if its possible for ECU to lower the range of each aerial to close proximity as soon ECU detects that 4 not 1 aerials are wired in OR if you install A8 D3 specific ECU then it's already programmed to have 4 sensors (well 5) and to have the range/power of the aerials lowered ??????
