Default Sigh. Champion can't figure out whats wrong with my car

Clicking noise coming from the fuse box created by Audio creations in boca raton (on boca rio road). DO NOT TRUST THAT PLACE!

Champion has had the car for 4 days and cant figure out what is wrong with it. Tough spot to diagnose due to the conditions that the noise is made.

I might have to bring it to the next level and have the car brought to orlando. I might need Hadley, the super tech, take a crack at it.

Default It's more than likely a faulty relay...

or simply a relay that has been placed in the wrong location.

Default *Thread jacking in progress*..........

Are you going to bring the VAG-COM with you to Bills tinight to do the coding on the ECUs? Also, just to make sure I have the correct part to bring, it should just be the silver case (ECU) and thats it right?

Default im so pissed off at champion.... i was supposed to leave for orlando friday, but...

i brought my car in for the 50k service... mentioned to them that the switch in the driver door to lock the rear windows is falty.... its always "locked" even if the switch is in the "unlock" position.... that being said not only did i tell them i showed my service guy who says ok and writes it down...

i get my car back and they fixed the rear door lock near the ashtray...

first of all that wasn't broken and in the report there is no mention of the window lock on my drivers panel....

so pissed

Default first thing to do is verify that all the relays and fuses are where they are supposed to be...

if possible, try to get another A4 that is your year to crossreference with face to face...
