  1. Greetings, gentlemen. I am now in the process of replacing the engine from m47n to m57. The body side connection is a more recent kind, often referred to as a single large connector. The m57 ecu uses a compact, outdated generation connection. (Comparison between a 5-connector ECU and a 2-connector ECU) I possess wiring diagrams (WDs) illustrating the pin configurations for both electronic control units (ECUs). However, I had difficulty in determining the appropriate placement for the voltage supply pins and ground pins. Additionally, on the m57 side, there are pins for coolant temperature, oil temperature, and other parameters. However, I am unable to determine their appropriate placement or connection on the m47 side. It would be much appreciated if any of you could provide guidance on the correct placement of the remaining pins.
  2. What is the estimated time commitment for "a bit of coding"? Individuals capable of doing this task will have made substantial investments in costly equipment and developed extensive knowledge and skill, which contributes to the overall expense.
  3. Based on my research, it seems that any repair made to the hybrid components is really a temporary solution. Defective components are being replaced with more defective components, albeit fresh ones that have not yet malfunctioned. Regrettably, it is the modus operandi of Audi. Audi engineers seem to be relying excessively on guesswork.
  4. The automobile has had intermittent use, mostly being stored in a garage. However, it has been exposed to damp conditions on a few occasions over that period.
  5. I purchased a set of these accessories for my SLK. To far, they have shown no signs of rust, even after a period of two years and ongoing. Another method, which was suggested years ago by Television (Rest in Peace), involves using a wire brush to clean the visible parts, inserting the bolts through a box with the threads facing downwards so that just the visible parts are exposed, and then applying a coat of the appropriate colour Hammerite paint using a spray can. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/362248505646?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338181125&toolid=10001&customid=2518X1570512Xb19c944e7a7f8169c3c708352b24e28a

  7. Did you really experience a situation where you entered the vehicle, started driving, and then the Check Engine Light (CEL) illuminated? Or was it subsequent to your departure from the dealership? I agree that it is peculiar that the Check Engine Light (CEL) illuminated subsequent to their maintenance activities on that particular component of the system. However, I could not see any mention of the inlet manifold on the recall list. Since they have acknowledged no previous CEL (Check Engine Light) before the repair, I would personally assert my disagreement. What is the reason for their statement that a new manifold is required? Has it been cracked?
