Rally_nutcase_1982

Component: ABS/ESP
First comment about it - OUCH!!!!!
Here is why; at first it is a COMMON ar problem.
That doesn't help much. The following is the original Work report:"Perform diagnosis/Load DTC's from ECM-Intake Boot Split open/Diagnos W/5051 and Mechanical/Faulty Intake Boot/Replace intake Boot and set Throttle readiness codes"

Now get ready for this:
1x 078-133-356-T Duct = $15.69.....
Labor amount = $222.50
+ Taxes + Weather + Date ++++++(just kidding)
so they say, I got off "cheap"...and BTW, the Error codes match 100% with my VAG-COM readout.
So next time = $15.69 + 1 sixpack.

Total was $256.72
Questions? I just need a Cognac...cheers!

What was the symptom, what was the source of the problem, and what was the solution? =)

Rally_nutcase_1982

but to make it easier for you:
ABS, Traction control and Suspension Height level lights displayed at any time while driving/accelerating.
ABS and Traction control lights go off within 5 seconds, suspension height level stays on until
re-start the of car. If the car is not restarted you wont be able to dis-engage/engage traction control.
Source -> work report: Intake Boot Split fault
Solution: ->work report: Boot Split replacement
Part number ->work report.

it's confusing me too : )

they replaced the throttle body boot because of the abs,traction control,sus control???

I've been too lazy to look up what an "Intake boot split" is. So I'm still confused. =)

because of a mechanical failure, the way I understand the issue is based on the complexity of the Computer controlled modules. So therefore the ECU is acting up, it still sounds weird to me but that's the way it works. Even with the Warning lights on you can drive normal, the only thing you would feel is hesitation in the Throttle response, but only if you really push it, every day driving is not affected at all.
Why the ABS, TC and SUS lights came on and the SUS light didn't disappear after 5 seconds is beyond my knowledge. I displayed the original work report Word by Word, so if you guys have any ideas.....
But like I said, Audi told me it is a common Problem with the allroad. Don't know what more to say..sorry. We have Cause, Symptoms and solution. And I'll place a call to my Audi Engineer in Germany, maybe he'll know why and how, the Dealerhips here are not really happy about to surrender more Information.
Believe me, it concerns me too, but I only can provide the Information I have in my Hands.

hey I know this is 4 years old. BUT my car just started acting up with abs and all the other lights under full accel/ above 3k rpm... do you think the issue could be coming from anything else prior to the t boot?
