C1260F0 on Audi

On air-suspension-equipped 2019-2025 Audi A8 vehicles, the cluster may show an air-suspension malfunction warning while the suspension controller stores C1260F0 or U112100 with symptom code 262400. Audi directs diagnosis toward communication, wiring and connector contacts between the suspension controller and compressor control module; the bulletin does not establish that every warning is a failed compressor, leaking spring or collapsed suspension.

Audi TSB 2059363/5 covers a legacy e-tron air-suspension malfunction when suspension controller J775 stores C1260F0 for no communication with compressor-control unit J1135 or U112100 with symptom code 262400 for a missing message. This is an electrical communication path; the bulletin does not establish leaking air lines, worn struts, height-sensor failure, compressor burnout or ball-joint wear as one common defect.

Audi TSB 2059363/6 applies to air-suspension-equipped 2019-2025 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. The bulletin identifies communication with compressor-control unit J1135; it does not establish universal air-spring, strut or compressor wear.

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. The bulletin identifies communication with compressor-control unit J1135; it does not establish universal air-strut, air-spring, compressor or complete-system wear.

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.

Audi TSB 2059363/6 applies to air-suspension-equipped 2021-2025 RS7 vehicles when the instrument cluster reports an air-suspension malfunction and suspension control unit J775 stores C1260F0 (no communication) or U112100 (missing message), both with symptom code 262400. The bulletin identifies communication between J775 and compressor-control unit J1135; it does not establish a universal air-strut, compressor or complete-system wear failure.

Audi TSB 2059363/4 covers an air-suspension malfunction on 2020-2024 S8 vehicles when the suspension controller stores C1260F0 for no communication with the compressor control unit or U112100 with symptom code 262400 for a missing message. The bulletin identifies the electrical path between level-control module J775 and compressor-control unit J1135, not a general leaking-strut or worn-compressor population.

On SQ5 vehicles equipped with air suspension, Audi documents an air-suspension warning accompanied by C1260F0 or U112100 with symptom code 262400 in suspension control module J775. The bulletin concerns communication with compressor control module J1135; it does not support the former blanket claims about leaking air springs, failed dampers, vehicle sag or weight-related wear.

On 2020-2025 SQ7 vehicles equipped with air suspension, Audi documents an air-suspension warning accompanied by C1260F0 or U112100 with symptom code 262400 in suspension control module J775. The bulletin concerns communication with compressor control module J1135 and states that improved J1135 software is under development as the production solution; it does not promise an owner-installed update or replace the bulletin diagnostic branches. The bulletin does not support the former blanket claims about leaking air struts, compressor overwork, vehicle weight, sagging, nose dive or rough ride.

Audi TSB 2059363/6 applies to air-suspension-equipped 2020-2025 SQ8 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. The bulletin identifies communication with compressor-control unit J1135; it does not establish universal air-strut, air-spring, compressor or complete-system wear.
