Diagnose & repair of Sports Differential Faults on Audi's A8, S & RS models

VAG Bolton now offers a professional diagnostic and repair service which covers a range of dashboard faults relating to Audi's Sports Differential.

Some owners of Audi's A8, S & RS range (including the Audi S4, S5, S6, S8, RS3, RS4, RS5, RS6, RS7) are experiencing dashboard warning faults relating to the vehicles sports differential.

The dashboard faults specifically relate to the following parts:

C1004 Oil Pressure and Temperature Sensors
C1005 Oil Pressure and Temperature Sensors

This video (courtesy of eurocar news) explains Audi's Sport Differential Technology in greater detail:

The self-locking center differential in the classic quattro drivetrain does an excellent job of distributing the power between the axles. To make driving even more dynamic, Audi introduced an additional component in the dynamic S4 Sedan in late 2008 that actively splits the torque between the wheels of the rear axle -- the sport differential (courtesy of eurocar news).
