Hi,
I have a 2013 SQ5 TDI and the soundaktor (speakers/actuators in the exhaust) doesn't appear to be working. I have scanned with VCDS and get an 'open circuit' fault code for the actuator.
I have tested each side's actuator and their electrical resistances are around 30K Ohms which rise with time when connected to the multimeter - this happens on both sides. I have checked all electrical connections to the actuators and the control unit in the boot. I have also done the output test with VCDS and the test noise can be heard very faintly, literally with your ear to the tailpipes and it's still nearly silent, but definitely making the test noise.
Has anyone experienced this issue before? It seems strange that two actuators may have blown. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Mark.
