On the 2021-2024 Audi RS6, audi TSB 2059363/5 covers an air-suspension malfunction warning on 2021-2024 RS6 Avant vehicles when the suspension controller stores C1260F0 or U112100 with symptom code 262400. The bulletin is about communication with the compressor-control module, not proof that an air strut leaks or that the compressor has been overworked.

This issue also affects: Audi e-tron, Audi A8, Audi Q8

Common Symptoms

  • Air-suspension malfunction warning in the instrument cluster

How to Fix

Have the wiring and connector contacts between suspension controller J775 and compressor controller J1135 inspected first. Audi says to clear a first passive or sporadic occurrence and release the vehicle. If the same passive fault returns a second time, or the fault is active or static after the wiring check, the bulletin directs replacement of J1135 under the applicable service procedure. Do not replace air struts, a compressor or an unverified aftermarket assembly solely from this warning card.

On the 2021-2024 Audi RS6 4.0T V8, audi TSB 2075530/1 documents that deposits in TFSI inlet ports and inlet valves can cause rough idling after a cold start and sporadic misfires, especially on vehicles used mainly for short trips. For the 2021-2024 RS6 Avant 4.0T record, this supports a symptom-triggered diagnosis and repair path; it does not establish that every vehicle has a high-boost carbon defect or requires cleaning at a fixed mileage.

This issue also affects: Audi S8, Audi SQ8, Audi A4

Common Symptoms

  • Rough idle after a cold start
  • Sporadic engine misfire recorded in event memory

How to Fix

Confirm the cold-start complaint, review the engine-control-unit event memory and verify inlet-port or inlet-valve deposits before cleaning. When that condition is confirmed, Audi TSB 2075530/1 directs the shop to remove the intake manifold or compressor and clean the inlet valves and ports by walnut blasting; the cylinder head remains installed. The cited Audi guidance does not specify a 30,000-40,000-mile interval, a fixed price or a mandatory catch can. Do not buy a catch can or cleaning product solely from this card.
