On the 2020-2025 Audi RS Q8, audi TSB 2059363/6 applies to air-suspension-equipped 2020-2025 RS Q8 vehicles when the instrument cluster reports an air-suspension malfunction and suspension control unit J775 stores C1260F0 for no communication or U112100 for a missing message, both with symptom code 262400.

Common Symptoms

How to Fix

Inspect the wiring and connector contacts between J775 and J1135 before replacing a component. For a first passive or sporadic occurrence, clear the fault and release the vehicle. If the same passive fault returns a second time, or the fault is active or static after wiring inspection, Audi directs replacement of J1135 under current repair and parts information. Do not buy struts, springs, a compressor or a conversion kit solely from this warning.
