Yup, I'm back in the same boat. I need to dial this problem in or I'm gonna lose my job.

Just wondering if this is most likely a problem I'm gonna have to deal with every time it rains or is something I can solve and prevent from happening. This car is making me slowly lose my mind.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/4000/threads/23082.phtml#165845">Old Post</a></li></ul>

do you have a leak into the cab on the right side... where the ECU is located? Just guessing here.

That's a reasonable guess. Somebody here had that problem recently I thought.

There is no visible wetness inside the car where else should I be looking?

Remove the passenger kick panel where the ECU sits. See if it's wet itself?

Default I know it sounds weird but...
...I had a similar problem on the 9020v once and it turned out to be the spark plugs.
