Front camera recall

[Audidave69]

Just had my first service and was informed that front camera needed reprogramming, as I’ve added a few bits I thought I’d lose my high beam assist, TSR, and lane assist, but as I drove home every thing is still working.
Apparently it improves the cameras field of view.
Just hope they don’t ever need to update MMI as I’ll need a week off work to code it all back in again

Had mine also done at the car's last service. As the a5 and the a4 are the same platform's they have the same recall's it seems...

It looks like ours are different....

Front camera for what??? I've just had my A5 serviced and they never mentioned it!

For the high beam assist and presense...

Mine was done when they had the car in to replace the dashboard control unit, so clearly not of major concern as no official recall comms.

Incidentally car recovered today after same symptoms manifested themselves as before they replaced the unit (£2,500) under warranty. Car completely died battery also appears to have died car only 22 months old! No electrics gear selector locked in park, hand brake locked in on position total nightmare couldn’t even open the boot to get at the warning triangle after the battery discharge meant no hazards, had to drop the seats and crawl into boot not easy as electric seats dead obviously!

At least I learnt how to get the handbrake off manually, orange tool in the boot is used to turn a heaxagonal bolt that resides under the cup holder rubber base when lifted out you can get access and rotate through 90 degrees to release the handbrake manually.

Crikey, and I thought I had figured a lot out when I climbed through to the boot to manually open it, was my own fault though as I drained the battery flashing some controllers, had the ignition on but not the engine running and for some reason ODIS was running incredibly slow. After that I then realised you can jump start them from the front too

Audi techs say fault tracking has them believing it is the battery that is the issue, not convinced myself but I will find out hopefully not the hard way! Also say it could have caused the dashboard control unit to fail, again remain to be convinced.

Also told I have to replace all four tyres on a Quattro if differential between tread on front compared to back is more than 3mm as this could cause issues with the diff! I would have thought that was not an issue on a Quattro maybe on a permenant 4x4 with a 50:50 front back ratio, any body got an informed view?
