wyliss Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Just to let you guys know that when my car was in the stealer Saturday they carried out two recall updates of the ECU. They are 20L9 & 24H8. This was done free as the car still has the Audi warranty...unsure about a vehicle that doesnt have one. Just to let you all know anyway.............

Matt R Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Won't give any better performance, just stops the ecu reading a random fault! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich1068 Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Booked my car in for it's first variable service (14k) and I can confirm that mine is also due the ECU reflash. I didn't have to mention it, the service rep told me there was a recall. However, he couldn't shed any light on what the reflash was for.

Booster Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Just got mine back from its 30k service (I've swapped to fixed 10k intervals) and they have done the 24H8 recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livall Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 My car has gone in for service today and I was told they would be doing the 24H8 recall. Does anyone know exactly wat this is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shark_90 Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 The recall is to cure a random fault with the throttle position sender reading an implausible signal for no reason and throwing an ECU fault code. And Matt_R is correct, if your car is remapped it will come back from the dealers in standard form as the update erases the ECU completely and rewrites the new Audi code. It also means in most cases your car will actually have to be remapped again, the tuner cannot just put your performance map straight back on again as it will relate to the pre-update map which won't exist any more.

UBM Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 In other words a clandestine way of erasing everyones re-maps and putting the tuners in big sh4t... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
