Hi, I've got an '05 Audi A4 Quattro 1.8t that had previously gotten rather saturated from numerous leaks. I've since learned that old Audi's and VW's leak like old fishing boats.. Still, after removing most of the interior to find and fix the leaks and dry everything out I managed to get it all back together again with nary a problem. I did not remove any of the upper part of the dash, control modules or instrument cluster. A few weeks ago my headlights started acting funny and would not turn off. Some troubleshooting and these forums led me to the "Body Control Module" which I replaced with a used part from eBay. That action appears to have opened up a whole galactic sized bag of worms. My headlights do function correctly now but since then I've had numerous gremlins materialize. For starters I have some sort of alarm (tamper alarm?) going off randomly and the only thing I can do to make it stop is to disconnect the battery. My keys also became dissociated with the car, speedometer has stopped working, ABS light is on, Airbag fault is on - then off for awhile - then on again and a scan shows that my "Central Electrics" have the wrong VIN. I made the investment in a Ross-Tech VCDS and have managed to get the keys reacquainted with the car, cleared out numerous false-alarms stopped the blinkers from flashing continuously (did I mention that symptom?). However, no matter how many times I enter the value "46992" in the Central Electrics adaption to force the unit to "learn" the VIN I can't seem to sort that out. The car basically isn't drivable because of the random alarm going off at real inopportune times. I'm not a mechanic and am way out of my element here. Can anyone please, please, please point me in the right direction?
