WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Audi A4, 2005 Audi A4, 2004 Audi A4, 2003 Audi A4, and 2002 Audi A4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

Vehicles for hot countries are equipped with a coolant run-on pump which is actuated by the engine control module.
In the case of non-hot country vehicles, the hot-country function must be deactivated after installation of a new control module, as otherwise a fault memory entry is made.

Procedure

Connect vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system VAS5051. Refer to Vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system VAS5051, connecting and select functions and select vehicle system "01 - Engine electronics" in selection. Ignition must be switched on.
