  1. Hi, I can’t recommend the steps that I took but this is the outcome of my problems, The garage (not a dealer but a Bosch service centre) were happy to clear the fault every Saturday for 3 weeks until finally the only fault left was the Throttle body sticking, each week I did my normal 20 miles a day plus the 40 mile round trip to the garage. I drove it relatively hard (again, not recommended) until the regen kicked in on a regular basis. I Only put branded ultra diesel in every time. Since changing the throttle body 2 months ago the car runs fine and have had no more ERG/DPF faults, probably tempting fate now! Audi just wanted to change the parts and quoted £1200.
  2. Hi, Just joined. Very similar issues to most of the posts on here. I had the update / fix applied 6 months ago. I did notice that the regen was kicking in more often but told it was normal by the dealer. Took the car for a 60k mile service and the engine warning light appeared 3 days later, I have asked Audi UK to comment via the Trust Building forms but they haven't responded. I did ask for the name of any independent specialist that would be able to inspect any parts that are subsequently removed to ascertain if the failure could be attributed to the update, possibly be the reason in the delay in responding. The dealer seemed to be physic and told me that a repair was going to be expensive even before ant diagnostics have been carried out! It would be interesting to see any data that Audi UK hold to see if they have a trend in EGR / DPF faults on those vehicles that have had the EA189 but unlikely share i suppose. I decided to take mine to an independent Audi specialist, half the price for the diagnostic and if I decide to go ahead, £600 to replace, he was keen to advise that Audi do insist on the work been carried out by an approved dealer to pursue and claim under the trust building thing and left the choice with me.
