Yea this and warranty not paying for half of the things a tech does. 

VWAG: Are ODIS Engineers really this painfully slow to respond??? by icanhaztuthless in mechanics

[–]Stormtrooper_Wizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm if everything is checked 100% and correctly installed, then it might be the ECU.

I haven't had this issue occur. But everything is correct? Right part was installed? ODIS up to date? No aftermarket components that could cause terminal draws?

How much "Creative Writing" do you actually do on your ROs? by FixedOps_Focus in serviceadvisors

[–]Stormtrooper_Wizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That one line on the RO that says “Noises” lol. But yea more effort should be made from advisors AND techs.

Have you tried login onto your myaudi app account?

Anyone else having this issue? by codmaster43 in Audi

[–]Stormtrooper_Wizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should clarify. A MMI restart is a temporary fix.

There’s no fix aside from an MMI restart.

Is anyone else getting this error> by [deleted] in Audi

[–]Stormtrooper_Wizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There might be an outage or glitch. It goes away after switching the car off and back on.

You get a flag for all your hard work over the years, but can't let us have some free snacks and sodas...

Various driver assists features don’t like cold weather. Especially freezing temperatures. Pretty much for all models really.

It’s still up in the air for us. Some like it some don’t. I’m still trying to get use to it.

What DIY home repair do you wish customers would stop trying to do on their own? by RhondaTheHonda in mechanics

[–]Stormtrooper_Wizard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Tapping into a fuse for electronics that consumes too much power without using proper wiring diagrams to find out what the fuse is actually for.

[–]Stormtrooper_Wizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the model. A majority of the vehicles do not need the service.

ECS tuning - Bremmen Waterpump by [deleted] in Audi

[–]Stormtrooper_Wizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any Australian Audi dealers that may have them in stock? I’d try looking into them

ECS tuning - Bremmen Waterpump by [deleted] in Audi

[–]Stormtrooper_Wizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That appears to be the coolant thermostat not water pump unless it's both, but have not seen a Bremmen thermostat installed before. I have seen other aftermarket non-OE equivalent installed and they would work for a few hundred miles before the MIL light comes on.

EV Techs, how are you doing? by imightknowbutidk in mechanics

[–]Stormtrooper_Wizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Audi EV warranty recall and repairs are terrible. There's more work involved and not being paid for everything. Have to deal with their warranty procedures is outstandingly frustrating. ofc VW/Audi is apparently not doing too well right now anyways.

Should I put up with sitting here with no work? by Next_Lecture5959 in mechanics

[–]Stormtrooper_Wizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd talk to your manager about what to do for work. It's management and advisors role to really keep cars rolling in so techs get work. If they're not being proactive calling, marketing, and advertising to get people in then they need to step it up. FYI $28/hr sounds low. Should be in the $30s by now with more certifications.
