edit: You know. I am starting to believe that they will run and hide whenever I step through the door Whispering ...*look busy*They have pulled out an old VAG 1551, I think he said. Should be a large blue box by the description; with a small printer module that takes forever. The one who received the ECU from me, admitted that he was scared when I had reported the engine oil light immediately after the service. He considered telling me to not continue driving. And when I called two days later that the car had stopped. He believed it had a real oil pressure fault, and that the engine was severely damaged

The very first of their diagnostic tools, the 1551: Sadly mine died years ago, but I still have the 2x2 adapter from it for pre-OBDII cars like the Corrado and Audi V8  Once canbus came along they moved to a PC-based system:   A bit odd that a dealer would use a 1551 on an S8. Perhaps they think its so old it can't talk to the 5051?

So I wrote them an e-mail yesterday. I explained that I own a Ross-Tech VCDS HEX-NET, and attached the latest scan log which I did after I got the car back from the service. And two other logs I had access to. In addition I mentioned the VAS 5051/5052 and VAS 6150. Suggesting that it shouldn't be any difficulty connecting a newer instrument than the VAG 1551.

I got the car back and drove it home
They replaced a multi purpose relay 4H0951253A. From what I can see on the bill, there is a control unit for the fuel injection as well. But I can't figure it out. 24701900 *edit - probably the work removing and installing the ECU Anyway, the total charge ended up at 5006 SEK Quote:
Man, is that a large unit?! At the moment I am charging the battery. I ran a quick test with the VSCD on my iPad, and I didn't like the result. I am really, really happy to have the car back

That's great news
Remarkably decent of them to have not charged for their faulty diagnosis. A bonus of going to Audi at least - a dealership is big enough to have absorbed the cost with barely a blip whereas an independent may not have been so magnanimous. Still, a decent indy might have got it right in the first placeHopefully we will see you in June now

As I have mentioned, I ran a scan after I got the car back which looked bad.
I'll attach a (pdf) screenshot of the engine faults, from my iPad. After considering my options, I decided to erase the faults and have a look again after a drive. A big thank you MJ for helping me to understand that all the errors had to be somewhat connected Quote:
Which brings me back to the Audi dealer. Why didn't they reset the faults when they serviced, and then made the repairs Was VAG 1551 the only tool they had? Weird

Its interesting that most of the modules simply say 'electrical malfunction' rather than voltage too high or low. That might be a prefacelift thing though. ME7 in the facelifts is a little more verbose in its error messages.
