2011 Audi A7 Electrical Issue.
Hi Guys,
Well my problems started 2 weeks ago, last month i stopped using my car for work after doing 10,000 miles in 6 months but used the car to go gym every night which is 5 mins away.
went to use the car one morning and my dash-lights and mmi screen was glitching but the car started fine - after 5 mins everything worked fine and my TPMS light come on which i thought makes sense.
so put air in the tires which all was fine and re-set the TPMS.
the car did 100 miles that day which was fine.parked on my drive and went to use it at the night and noticed the audi a7 sign didn't appear in the dash - strange , pressed the stop start button and the car started but the dash cluster and mmi are powerless all my other power functions work the car starts, heaters,lights, wing mirrors,seats and even the radio station i was listening to in the morning but my mmi screen wont come out the dash and cluster is dead.
So took it to Audi yesterday because they are close and they have found water ingress in the rear Tyre well - 6 hours to check how water has got in there is £1200 then they will inspect whats up with the cluster after that.so was looking at a bill of 2-3k
got someone coming out tonight the do the vcds checks and just wondering if anyone has come across this before?
Thanks

Haven't had that issue on my Audi, but I have had issues like that with my old BMW. Oddly enough had a weather seal on a rear door SOMEHOW made it to the electrical components under the rear seat along with some harnesses and cabling that were horribly repaired years before my ownership. Messed up EVERYTHING.
If they find water somewhere, the source of the leak isn't always near the component damaged. Water has a way of finding its way into odd places.
Sorry to hear about this, bud! Best of luck.
