when you start the car, it raises on its own and then that fault comes up on the screen, it goes and comes, while the fault is on the spoiler still works.
I will have the dealer check it out,now that i have picture of it.

This car's a software nightmare... My MMI was stuck for a 1/2 hour last week. Even while the car was off, the screen was stuck open on the nav screen. Hopefully they've got some fixes for me at my 10K service.

The car stores old fault codes so picture shouldn't be needed to prove the fault. I'm sure Audi will come forward and fix all these issues. There are so many people with "Lights Malfunction" message too. Hopefully they fix these nuisances soon.

I showed the picture to the tech, he thinks the roof control module may also control the Rear spoiler.
That Module could very well be located Right where the spoiler is and could be getting hot, would make sense that the spoiler raises on its own, maybe to allow air to flow into the compartment and cool down the module.
Who knows

When I had my car in for service last time they performed 2 software upgrades (December). One was for the ECU and the other was for the rear spoiler. No idea what the upgrade did for the spoiler, but might want to see if you have the software upgrade.

Thanks, i have a appointment to get the car looked at, the fault keeps coming up, although the spoiler seems to function just fine.
