Failure of the parking distance control and electrical problems in the Audi A4 Diesel 2017
(Translated from German)
Summary of the thread
A 2017 Audi A4 diesel is experiencing issues with the parking distance control, electrical malfunctions, error storage, and a warning light on the speedometer. The problem is suspected to be related to the parking aid. A similar issue in another Audi model was caused by short circuits and a defective cable connection, requiring the replacement of the parking distance control unit. The suggested solution is to have a mechanic read the fault codes and address the electrical issues, potentially involving cable repairs or replacements.

Hey, thanks for sharing your experience! Sorry for the direct question, but do you remember the cost of the whole procedure? Have you had any problems since then, or has everything gone smoothly? I certainly hope it doesn't get too complicated with my Audi A4. Thanks in advance for your reply!

No problem, your question is completely justified. Well, after I went to the mechanic, the fault with the parking aid was rectified. The problem was with the cable connection, it was defective. I spent €155 on the repair. Since then everything has been running like clockwork, no further problems have arisen. Hope this helps you and it doesn't get too complicated with your Audi A4. Good luck, buddy!

Hey, thanks for your feedback and the information. That's pretty helpful. Hopefully I turn out to be in a similar situation, with about the same cost. I miss the days when cars were simpler! However, thanks to you, I'm a bit more reassured now and will get my car to the garage as soon as I can. Thanks again for your help and good luck to you too!

Hey, I had a similar problem with my 2014 Audi A6. In my case it was short circuits in the electrics. The entire unit for the parking distance control had to be replaced. This was a pretty serious problem as it can affect the safety of the vehicle. The workshop read out all the fault codes and fixed the problem. It all worked out pretty well. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it doesn't get too complicated for you. All the best!
