I'm happy to report that the issue has been solved. I was unable to get the exact codes from the mechanic, but he did say that there were 2 errors - both related to the steering module. One for incorrect voltage and the other for over voltage. When the vehicle was started and everything on...

I can see if I can contact the guy over the weekend and ask if he could tell me the code, but seems unlikely as he's more interested in selling the work.

Unfortunately i don't. He was specific that it was the steering module and that the error was overvoltage at the steering module. That's all the information I have to work with. It's looking like I'll probably just order a replacement module and fingers crossed. BCM was my first guess, and I...

Bumping with a hope for assistance

I've bought a 2009 A3 cabrio that has been in storage for a few years and has very low mileage (a little over 10,000). The car has an issue related to the steering module. The steering module part number is 8P0 953 549 F. When the car is turned on, everything works fine. But if you start the...

Right, found it. 8P0 907 279 N. Is the "n" the version/software code? Does that give me enough information to know which modules will be compatible?

Thanks for the reply, have been searching for a few hours but not found it yet. Did you mean under the panels covering the steering column? It might be worth noting I'm in Australia and have a RHD 2009 a3 cabrio and it's the base model (attraction). Have pulled the carpet partially back on both...

ive just bought an 09 a3 cabrio, it's an 8p7 and has been sitting in storage for some years. Mostly seems good, very low mileage but indicators, wipers, flashers and high/low beam not working. No blown fuses so looks like probable culprit is bcm/ccm. Going to have a dig around the car and see...
