I think these recalls only apply to North America, as well as the NHTSA

Tariqonnet (or everyone else for that matter) could just call 1-800-822-2834 to ask for specific recalls/TSB's that may apply to all Audi cars. I'm sure they'd be able to help with any queries regarding TSB's and Recalls.

I send an email to Audi Europe, they directed me to Audi Middle east and after couple of hot emails exchanged they raised their hand saying they cannot support my cause.
I saw a website which says that they can repair TCU and even give warranty for 2 years.... its not possible to for me to send my tcu from here(saudi) but if they can repair it so can anyone else. I haven't ever seen tcu in front of my eyes, can it be opened? i.e. can we see the circuit inside? I know an electronics guy here who can repair any electronic circuit. Does anybody think its worth a try??
I hate this situation, since last 3 days I didn't even once encountered this problem (PRNDS flashing), my car is working just fine, but when it will reappear don't know...

tariqonnet

Its more than a week now, still this problem (PRNDS flashing) didn't turn up. Hope never to come back again...

Tariqonnet will not be able to call that 800 number from saudi.

i wish you luck, but have not encountered many cars that can "heal themselves"

regarding your friend fixing the electrical circuits, i would be a little hesitant to try such a thing, but if you feel like you have nothing to lose, it may be an option.

Yes he would. Worse comes to worse, he could ask his local operator to connect him to that number and the call would still be toll free.

Mona, that number is for audi Canada, not some international toll free number. There are many American toll free numbers you can not even call from Canada, and I am pretty sure audi Canada is not interested picking up the long distance tab to help someone on a different continent. Plus, as time zones apply, at what hour would he be trying to call? Further, even in Europe you can not call north American 800 numbers, I am sure the same is true in the middle east.

Better!?

Yeah, except he said he already contacted audi of europe and they directed him back to audi middle east
