Just an update on my problem, the car ended up at the local main dealer, who said I had to commit to a 3 hour assessment period at £162/ph 😐. They eventually identified the issue as a Convenience ECU J393 defective. This is located in the boot by the passenger side rear lights. So a total cost of £1360, oh and £300 to have it transported to the garage. Audi not the best for a car with 26k miles on the clock 😒

Thanks for the detailed response, hopefully it will be a fix the local garage can do without a visit to the dreaded audi dealer and I will be coughing up lots of £££. Like you say there are so many electrical safeguards in cars these day's which seem to over complicate fixes 😀 Regards Kev

Thanks Spartacus, I'm sure the garage its at now will go through the process of elimination (they don't open until the 7th Jan though!!) unfortunately as it's there and I don't have the tools for this it's all out of my hands now. Let's hope the battery and coding it will get it running. Thanks for your comments

Hi Steve, when the breakdown mechanic looked at it, he tried to jump start it from the engine and the battery itself, but nothing so should that have got the dashboard lit up? I've read on the forums that there is an in-line fuse on the battery cable, hopefully it's something simple 😀. Thanks for the reply Regards Kev

Hi, I new to the forum and I am looking for any ideas on this one please. My car won't start (was perfect up to locking it when at work) dashboard does not turn on, central locking won't work, all of the electrics seem to have shut down. I had the car recovered to a local garage but I'm not sure they will have the experience to get it going. Had to access the boot opener from inside the car just to open the boot to see the battery. Breakdown guy tested the battery and it was good with 12v, there are circuit breakers on the leads so does anyone have any experience of this happening? Last resort will be getting it to an audi dealer, it's only an 2018 plate and 24k miles done, excellent condition and always serviced. Any thoughts please?
