Default 02 A6 quattro 3.0 water on passenger side

After a hard rain, I walk out to my car and noticed a lot of water on my passenger side of the car. The car did not start and computer seemed to be shorting.

Took it to the local Audi shop and they say the TCU or TCM is corroded. No idea why Audi just put a little piece of plastic around that??? My model number is 4B0 927 156 EE. At this point, the water is dried out. What is a good price for a used TCU? Where can I find one? How do you think the car will recover from this water damage?

I guess the drain was clogged somewhere. I noticed this is a common problem. Any thoughts?

It is also as likely you left the rear window cracked or open…stuff happens.
Google the p/n and see what it costs.

The TCM will be very pricey as this is somewhat of a common issue and i dont think they make it any more.

try seeing if you can have yours repaired.
