Having read through some of the threads on the forum I am pretty sure that the problem I have with my A2 is a convenience unit related issue.
The alarm goes off intermitantly, there is a relay ticking away from under the passenger footwell and the traction control light comes on. Occasionaly the steering warning light comes on as well.:eek:
To stop the alarm from going off I disconnect the battery for half an hour and this cures the problem for a few days.

My questions are :

Do I need the specific unit for my 2000 SE model ? (959 433)
If I get hold of one is it plug and play or does it need programming for my car ?
Where is the best place to get hold of one (I have a search running on eBay but not sure if a 2nd hand unit is the best way to go).
I have been quoted £300 for a unit fitted at an Audi garage. Is this the going rate ??!!:confused:

Hi Jodie,

I can answer one of the questions for sure and that is the question about plug and play. You will need to match your keys to your new convenience unit. I believe this can be done with VCDS (VAG COM) so if you can get a unit cheap, then a VAG COM owner can help match the keys.

There are various convenience units available, especially online (Ebay etc), so be careful.

They are around £220 from a dealer and they will charge an hour labour to do th recoding, so, yes, that is the rate it seems.

Cheers,

Mike
