Repair Procedure Summary

The repair procedure outlined in TSB 2076264/1 is a multi-step process designed to systematically address potential issues with the Audi overhead view camera repair. Technicians are instructed to follow these steps:

1. Check Repair History: The first step involves reviewing the vehicle's repair history to determine if previous repairs related to this issue have already been performed. This helps avoid redundant work and ensures the correct next step is taken.
2. Replace Exterior Mirror Mountings: If the issue has not been resolved, the next step is to replace both exterior mirror mountings. This procedure should be performed according to the detailed instructions provided in the Workshop Manual. The TSB notes that if this step has already been completed, technicians should proceed directly to step 3.
3. Replace All Video Cables: If the problem with the Audi overhead view camera repair persists after replacing the exterior mirror mountings, all video cables connected to the driver assist systems control unit J1121 and the overhead view cameras must be replaced. This includes the front camera (R243), rear camera (R246), left camera (R244), and right camera (R245).

Required Parts and Tools

For the video cable replacement, specific components and diagrams are referenced:

• Adapter Cables: Only adapter cables from ETKA diagram 971-805 should be used for the wiring harness in the vehicle interior.

Figure 1 in the TSB illustrates various adapter cable versions and their components (items 1-5 define adaptation, item 6 determines cable length).
• Door Wiring Harnesses: The two door wiring harnesses must also be replaced.
