Hi All,
It looks like i need to replace the battery on my 2013 B8.5 A4 (3.0 TDI Quattro Saloon) and Audi have quoted me 420 quid for the battery alone - I will source a Varta battery from elsewhere, i just want to double check that coding the new battery is as simple as below (i have VCDS):
[Select]
[19 - CAN-Gateway]
[Long Adaptation-0A]
Channel 004
[Read]
VCDS will populate instructions in the form of a pop-up balloon with the formatting. For example:
Format: NNNNNNNNNNN XXX ZZZZZZZZZZ
N = Battery Part Number (11 Digits)
X = Battery Vendor (3 Digits)
Z = Battery Serial Number (10 Digits)
[Add to Log] Saving the original value to a log is strongly recommended.
Type the New Battery details into the New value field.
Note, the New value must be 26 (alpha numeric) total characters including the spaces! If in doubt check the saved log for the original battery formatting details.
[Test]
[Save]
Providing the value was accepted by the controller the new battery coding is complete.
[Done, Go Back]
[Close Controller, Go Back - 06] "
Can anyone confirm?
