Default Highway 287 incident follow up......

The ar was towed to Audi on Saturday, on my way to the Audi-AWE meeting in New Brunswick....only 2 hours of waiting for AAA, right on Rt1, 2 minutes away from my place..what a great weekend...
The folks from Audi did first troubleshooting today and nailed it almost down.
It appears that the ECU may have taken a hit, TCU seems fine. So that tells me that some serious off-roading could challenge the ar to the extend of severe damage.
Tomorrow they'll check the remainder of connections just to be sure. I just hope that the GIAC chip didn't jump out of its socket and caused it. But we'll see and I'll let you guys know the final result + $$$.$$.

Enjoy you ar ride everyone...now I really feel like Paulroad when his LULU was gone.....:-(

Default LULU Still is.. gone.. :-( waiting......

What did the dealer say about your mods?

I have a feeling it IS your x chip that is loose due to the jolt.

Default Didn't you open the ECU up to see if the chip came out of the socket?

I would like to be the one to have it fixed rather than AOA.

Good Luck!

Default You've got to be kidding ....still GONE? That is insane...Sorry to hear that Paul...

The Dealer/Mechanic knows my car very well, so they know about the mods....and appreciate the attitude how this car has always been taken care of.
I don't think they want to lose a loyal customer because of a "minor" issue ;-)
