Summary
Requirements for California dealers added. California-specific customer letter added. To ensure that all Audi R8 services and repairs are performed properly under this action, repair work must be performed at an authorized Audi
dealer with the designation Audi R8 Certified Point or Audi R8 Service Point. Under certain driving conditions the MIL may come on even though the vehicle is operating correctly. If the MIL is on because of this issue, your vehicle may not pass an IM (emissions) inspection. As applicable, installation of an engine wiring harness overlay and updated ECM programming.
•
Follow the version 1 harness back from ECM 2
and remove any tie wraps that were installed
securing overlay to main engine harness. Do
this all the way to the D90 connection point.
Tip: The D90 connection point of the engine
speed signal wire is located on the right side of
the engine compartment, just in front of the heat
shield.
⇐ Locate purple overlay harness wire
and cut 5 cm from connection point. Discard
the overlay harness; it will no longer be used.

•
Apply shrink tubing to remaining wire from the
D90 connection. Shrink tubing with UT-100SI
Ultratorch (or equivalent) and pinch the end of
the tubing closed. Tape wire back in direction
of the harness.
Proceed to section G.
SECTION G: Installing Version 2 Harness on
Coupe
⇐ If the version 1 wiring harness was not
installed: cut off wire terminal end and apply
shrink tubing to wire from chamber
36 on both ECM1 & 2. Shrink tubing with UT100SI Ultratorch (or equivalent). Pinch the end
of the tubing closed and tape
wire back in direction of the harness.
Note: The version 1 wiring harness is a
previous repair that was not done on all
vehicles.
•
Remove the brown wire for the G28 engine
speed signal to the T60 connector on ECM 1
(J623, passenger’s side) from chamber 51
using VAS 1978/7A.
⇐ Cut off wire terminals and apply shrink tubing
on each wire. Then, heat tubing
with UT-100SI Ultratorch (or equivalent) and
pinch the end of the tubing closed. Tape wires
back in direction of the harness.
⇐ The D141 connection point is on the
right side of the compartment.
CAUTION:
Do not confuse with any other connection in
harness.
⇐ Locate the D141 connection in the engine
wiring harness near the harness junction where
the harness branches to the T60 and T94 ECM
connector plugs. The D141 connection has five
lilac (purple) and one wire that is black or gray.
Tip: The D141 connection can be in slightly
different locations on each wiring harness. In
many cases, you can locate it by squeezing the
harness before removing any tape.

⇐ Cut off the wire that is black or gray about 5 cm
behind the crimp. The new harness will be
connected to the remaining section of black
wire from the D141 connection. Apply shrink
tubing to the harness section of the black wire
and heat tubing with UT-100SI Ultratorch (or
equivalent). Pinch the end of the tubing closed
and tape back in direction of the harness.
⇐ Disconnect the connector to the G28
engine speed sensor on the left side of the
transmission bell housing and cut off the
connecter end as straight as possible. The
original wiring to the sensor is no longer
required.
⇐ Seal the G28 cable opening with silicone
sealant.
•
Put the G28 plug of the repair harness on the
engine speed sensor and tie wrap (N 909 377
02) following the original G28 harness. Keep
harness away from sharp objects and the
exhaust.
•
The overlay harness should be routed along
the main engine harness.
