Default Threw a fault code today: Cam Adjustment Actuator B; Cylinder 3-Implausible signal

How concerned should i be?

One thing that i noticed different was that the car no longer had the dsg fart after this MIL
Its going to the dealer in the morning for its first oil change- so i will def. have them take a look. (probably won't tell them that I already know what the code is)

I was bummed to see this light... Anyone else get this one?

Dealer replaced some parts to address the MIL. Will update more with part numbers once I get the car back

They replaced part# 06E-103-697-M

To test, they swapped cylinder 3 shift actuator with another cylinder and the error code followed.

No more MIL. Dealer scuffed my car and I had to use rubbing compound to get the scuff out. Not really happy with Hoen Audi

Glad this is resolved. So what does this shift actuator part do exactly. I wonder if this part is the same on the A3 engine?

im not 100% sure but I would like to know more about it (i actually have no clue). I'd also like to know how to DIY this if i ever need to in the future.- It seems this is a common issue

One thing that I did notice was that the DSG fart noise was gone after the MIL popped on. Maybe because it put it in some sort of limp mode- but it could be related.

I had a CEL on my 2015 S3 traced back to a similar fault-code; the dealer swapped the solenoids/actuators and the fault code cleared. it's been a few months and no recurrence.
