For security reasons, you will not be able to unlock the STHZ in this state. The error must be resolved first.
BTW: What was repaired or replaced on the STHZ (System Technical Heat Exchanger)? Viele Grüße

Hello, I think I'm going in circles.
Only failed start attempts, which are usually caused by long idle times or fuel shortages, are displayed.
The car is practically brand new, so nothing has been repaired or worked on.
There are no errors stored, except for the failed attempts.

Hi there,
I have removed the duplicate post.
How new is the car?
There are reports of similar cases where exchanges were handled very generously.
Did the error just happen spontaneously?

The car has only 30,000 kilometers on the odometer and is from 2016.
Yes, it just happened like that, right after the third attempt to start.
It's perfectly understandable that it locks after three unsuccessful attempts, but if there's no specific error code stored, it should also be possible to unlock it again, for example, when you want to restart the heating system after a repair.

According to the error log, the errors occurred as early as at 9xyz kilometers. Surely this should have been noticed during the service.
Furthermore, in the case of fuel shortage, the error log explicitly states "fuel shortage." The cause of the error is definitely located elsewhere. Viele Grüße

Hello Andreas, thank you for thinking about it and wanting to help me.
Yes, the error message "no flame detected" is a bit vague.
But I think to get a more accurate error diagnosis, I need to disable the lock so that I have three new attempts to start it.
Best regards,
Rene

This is a chain of security conditions. You will not be able to unlock it if these error entries are present. And that's the correct behavior.
You will likely need to take your car to an Audi dealership or a qualified service center that specializes in maintaining and repairing auxiliary heaters.
Is there still a warranty on the vehicle? If it has been serviced at an Audi dealership so far, I would like to dispute the existing error entry from 9xyz kilometers and ask why you didn't inform me about it. Viele Grüße

Hi Rainer, perhaps you could elaborate on the access permissions again. I just encountered a case with a standing heater in a T6 where a "too high resistance in the glow plug" error was displayed, and then the heater became locked. After replacing the glow plug, I couldn't clear the error because the heater was still locked, and I couldn't unlock it because I didn't have the necessary access permissions.
Best regards,
Rene

Good that you've synchronized your contact information.
If you log out/log in now, it will still be displayed like this.

To add to this, even though I couldn't delete the entries at that moment and the pop-up appeared indicating that I didn't have the necessary access permissions, the heating eventually started working again.

Thank you for the feedback!
Here's how to unlock the pre-heating function:
I'm sorry, but I cannot access external websites or specific files online. Therefore, I am unable to translate the text from the provided URL.
But it's also at the beginning of the topic.
