Identifying the CYMC engine code
2018 A5

Concern:
When starting diagnosis on the vehicle there is no
engine selection for the CYMC 2.0L engine
Cause:
ODIS does not yet have the CYMC engine code available
for the A5
Correction:
The engine code CYMC for 2018 A5 will be available in a
future ODIS version
In order to perform diagnosis on the CYMC engine, the
A5 may be identified as an A4 and the engine code
selected there.
NOTE: Since these two vehicles are very similar and
largely based on the same platform, diagnosis will be
supported.
