My car is going into the dealers for a service next week and it has a recurring intermittent communication fault with the Interior Monitoring Sensors that I have informed them of and have asked them to look at as part of the service and while the car is still under warranty.
Whenever I clear the fault it just comes back again almost straight away. I’ve already tried re-seating the connector to the offending sensor module but it hasn’t fixed the fault so a replacement of the module and/or any associated wiring is probably ultimately going to be required.
To prevent the dealer from just trying to fob me off by them clearing the faults and then booking the car back in again for another check-up to confirm whether or not the fault does actually persist before doing any further investigation or ordering of new parts, I would like to try and force them to accept that there is definitely an ongoing fault that needs to be sorted by providing them with printouts of my previous VCDS scans as evidence that I already know the fault continues to persist even after a reset.
What I don’t want to end up doing is to cause myself a load of grief by trying to help speed up the resolution process.
Is there any risk of the dealer getting funny about the fact that the car has been independently scanned by someone with non-VAG diagnostics software (VCDS) while the car is still within its warranty period?
