Hello fellow enthusiasts,
I think something might be wrong.
I drive an Audi A6 4B, manufactured in July 1999, with engine code AKN.
Okay, I've now looked at the MSG data, and the values are:
4B 090 7401
0281 010 153
D 66
and one more thing, the label says the manufacturer date is 07.2000, is that correct?
Can someone tell me if this device is compatible with my vehicle, or which vehicle it actually belongs to?
It would be great if we could get some clarity on this before the weekend!
Thank you very much.

Best regards, Bastianna.

A letter/two letters are missing from the part number 4B0 907 401.

Please tell me if your car has ESP or ASR, and write your vehicle identification number (VIN) here. I will let you know as soon as possible!
