What was the reason for the codes, dealership or you ever figured it out yourself?

I guess they wanted to quickly dismiss me because I showed up on a Friday?

I didn’t go to my dealership though, I went to the one closer to my workplace. Will never go back there.

I see, all they are thinking of is when is their shift is over, hopefully your experience is better in a different dealership and/or going there a different day. Monday is usually busy, Friday they usually slack off. So Tuesday-Thursday appointments are ideal.

Again, car is working just fine now.
Did the engine light ever come back on? I currently have an intermittent engine light and car has been at the dealership for like 3 weeks.

no idea what it is, I’ll stop at the dealership on my way to work tomorrow. Car seems to run fine, hopefully it’s nothing.

140k miles with my A7 and I’ve never seen that light, not even once.
so far Audi 1 - Mercedes 0


Sorry to see you had bad luck, glad it worked out

I use to own audis and it was nothing but problems. Vowed to never get one again, so maybe it's just all comes down to chance.

Update: I double checked my fuel cap (i.e opened it and closed it again). Then started the car and the light was still there.

Went to dealership and parked the car and when i restarted it again it was gone.. lol.. Im still thinking to show this to dealership still..

Which is funny because the C 300 shouldn't have the drive unit (basically the two knobs on the steering wheel on the C 43 and C 63 S E Performance etc. but I am guessing the harness and wiring is there to save cost in production.
