Default Beware of changing RS style grill for your S5 in Great Toronto Area

Recently I've changed my grill to the honeycomb grill and after a few days ACC would not work and an error came up. Sent it to Audi Uptown and they wouldn't "touch" my car because I changed my grill even if I'm paying for the labor, diagnosis cost etc etc. They asked me to put back the old grill and sent it back in..

Hate to say it, but they have a point. Despite the fact that the OP is willing to pay out of pocket it sounds like..... they may be doing him a favor by not running up some obscene labor/diagnostic charges - if the problem is directly related to the new grille or faulty install. Wesleyh96 - you did the install? I'd try to get my hands on a VCDS cable and check the codes first.

Last I checked, the ACC equipment are in the outer two corner grilles, not the main grille you swapped. Take it back to the installer and ensure everything was properly replugged.

Yes. The grill itself has the front parking camera (if equipped), but not ACC sensors. Take it back.

Is your hood open in that photo? If not, your bumper is seriously misaligned.

I had mine done in Oakville and no issues with ACC. The sensors in the grill are the parking sensors and the camera.

My camera is off, but going back in for an adjustment.

I went to a shop that I know they checked on the codes and couldn't clear it. So I went to the dealer after and it didn't work out.

Yes its at the "fog light" if it had one. Checked everything and no issues with cables and such but its the problem with the right (showing left) radar sensor.
