hi steve the caliper was reset using vcds,the motor on the old one was just winding and not doing anything ,a new caliper with motor sorted that out ,but i am getting the fault code on vcds telling me incorrect data from handbrake module ,the module is hardly incorporated in the abs module as that link maybe suggests ? paul

hi steve ,i checked in the rear of the car and there is no module or fuse box in the rear ,i asked a friend who would work on these and he thinks it is below the central console of the car ? have you heard of this before steve ? il remove the console in the morning ,but it is strange my local audi dealer cannot find the module ,i need to get the number of it even to buy a second hand one as the dealer has been no help any more help would be great steve cheers paul

hi thank you very much i will sort it tomorrow when i get back to my garage hopefully it will work once again thank you ,i will let you know how i got on i phoned my local audi dealer today and spent an hour on the phone with him ,he cannot find the module he asked myself did it have a module ?/ i cant see the electronic handbrake working without a module ? he told me he would ring me back but he did not so il wait until tomorrow and hopefully il have the module out of my car and will be able to give him the module number to order a new one hopefully cheers paul
