{Audi A3 (8P)} The Audi A3 (8P) uses 2 different communication possibilities for self

diagnostics, on the one hand diagnstics via K-Line, but only for engine electronics and
autom. trasmission.
Self diagnostics should be done with a CAN capable diagnostic tool.
The following control modules are build into the A3 (8P) (items shown in orange have been
described in the text that follows. Click on an orange item to go directly to that section):
- Airbag
- Auxiliary Heater
- Brake Electronics
- CAN-Gateway
- Central Electronics
- Comfort System
- Door Control Modules
- Engine Electronics
- Headlight Aim Control
- Heating/Air Conditioning
- Instrument Cluster
- Parking Aid
- Radio-/Navigation System (RNS-E)
- Steering Wheel Electronics
- Trailer
- Transmission Electronics
