I'm seeing workorders to replace the BSG with an associated part number 06M121488. Some WOs on AudiWorld have 06M121488A. Any idea which one I should be stocking up on?
All workorders I found on here are all for the EA839 3.0L V6. So I'm not sure if I should buy the one with the A or the one without? TY

Sounds like the same thing that I experienced. I had mine replaced a few months ago. I’m out of warranty instead of $4500. They charge me $2400. I also recently placed the fuel pump. Some people have been getting letters about extending the warranty to seven years And covering the entire cost of the generator I followed up with Audi and received a phone call and now I’m in the process of sending them all the dates and expenses incurred to see if I can get back by $2400. This is a long process it took me seven weeks to get the part , I’m hoping I can get reimbursed the 2400 as well

At the same time, a case of re-breaking a 2nd time hasn't been reported here. I *think* we are primarily north american cars on here. It is possible that for some reason, the cars here in north america are not failing a 2nd time - I don't know what could account for this.

They have not addressed the "cause" of the issue so it is only a metter of time. The new alternator fixes a symptom. Without a redsign or software revelation, I dont see that the problem is fixed.

2019 Q8 Generator Fail
This is a significant issue with the generator.. we have a 2019 Q8.. got the electrical system failure warning.. took it in.. generator failure and because it’s such a major issue with these the part is the number one back-ordered part at Audi.. 6-8 weeks to repair.. and if Audi Reno’s 8 loaners.. all are in tue shop so we will be driving a rental for two months. I have heard no clear response that the new models have repaired the problem.
