if you can, the part number for what they yanked out and the part number for the new. and in theory, doesn’t that mean they’d update the TSB? and also, update the software from the TSB?

sure seems like it. but 3 years after an issue presents in tons of cars seems like enough time to get the fix folded in to production. kind of ridiculous. as of yesterday i am curious about the alternator. who is making it? does it have any firmware? who is doing the QA and can’t this failure be prevented?

see posts 14-15…it appears to have firmware as well.

This happened to me on November 16th on my 2020 Q8 Premium Plus. Fast forward to today and my dealer is now telling me it will probably be another 3 to 4 weeks before the Generators come in via ocean freight. Thank god they gave me a Q7 loaner but still this day and age to wait 6 to 7 weeks for a part. The dealer told me there were 3 other A6’s in with the same issue just waiting for generators.

But update this week. The part came in Friday and is now in my car. They are now doing drive cycles to test it and I should have the car back tomorrow. I'll update on what part they installed and if there was a software update.

I asked about this TSB. He'll get back to me.
