If your car has the traditional alternator, you will not have this issue. As far as we can tell, almost every SQ8 sold in the US the traditional alternator. There are some market differences between regions and are SOME cars that fall out side the "typical" build - so there are always a few exceptions. However, in the US, typically, Q8 and RSQ8 have the BSG, and will have the issue, SQ8 cars do not because they do not have the BSG.

1. Why there are no RSQ8, Rs6/7,S6/7 models while we know there are reported BSG fails here?
2. Following 1, does that mean there is no TSB available for these models instead of indicating there is no BSG issues for them? I assume no TSB available.
3. Following 2, omitting 2024 MY does NOT indicate BSG is fixed, may highly just mean no available TSB currently….
OK, I am no TSB expert. Please correct me if anyone. And I would love to be pointed out that I am wrong.

I would doubt, 3 questions :
1. Why there are no RSQ8, Rs6/7,S6/7 models while we know there are reported BSG fails here?
2. Following 1, does that mean there is no TSB available for these models instead of indicating there is no BSG issues for them? I assume no TSB available.
3. Following 2, omitting 2024 MY does NOT indicate BSG is fixed, may highly just mean no available TSB currently….

The better question is why 2024 models would be included in version 9 but not version 10? The timing of the TSBs is critical here. I believe it's b/c Audi thought the latest PN may not have fixed the issue in V9, but by V10 they noticed that the latest PN does fix the issue so they removed 2024.
We can dream a recall is on the way?
Also, people, please report here if your dealership allows you to proactively replace old BSG PN with this new BSG PN. I will do the same around this May or June.

It probably won't be a recall, but I'm not waiting. If we start to see proof the new PN fixes this issue, I'm paying the $2000 (parts and labour) to be done with this headache.

Any parts whiz can see if this part number is the most updated part for the BSG 4N1-903-028-B that is supposedly the part # for the new BSG being installed on my car

If this new part number is 100% sure fix, I'm with you on taking it in and just paying to get it replaced. I have my replacement sitting in my closet.
