Almost certainly — 0B5 mechatronic failure is the #1 Audi A4 complaint. Check if you're still under Audi's extended coverage first (call Audi with VIN). If not, mechatronic replacement: $1,600–2,400.
Audi extended coverage on some markets — check with an Audi dealer using your VIN. If in coverage, the repair is free. If not, we're your best option.
We use VCDS (VAG-COM) for mechatronic adaptation — no dealer visit needed.
