Thanks. I have no issues paying the premium price, but I am concerned about the supply in 5 years when the government are lokking at phasing it out. Audi arent much help, they just said " It 'should' be ok" !!!

Hi no the only time it will struggle to start is in cold weather but generally speaking they will start anyway when the plugs are knackered because the fuel rail pressure is so high. Steve.

The main risks of using E10 is damaging fuel lines rather than damaging the engine I believe. You might find it'll run more rough on E10.

Hi was this what happened with the old unit, only reason I thought of the direction is that if its pumping against the natural flow that would lock it up but when you test it if there is no natural flow the unit will appear to operate as normal.

Bless ya, was going to say, as you'd have worked very fast!

Obd11 or vcds

Cheers for the reply Steve, i was thinking the car would struggle to start with a glow plug issue? i think i may as well start with changing them and go from there.

I believe so….was done for me by a qualified engineer / mechanic and it’s sporadic when it comes up. Will clear then reappears. Sometime with engine management lights, sometimes without

Hi not wishing to appear stupid but is the pump the right way round as it should have a flow arrow on it. Steve.

Hi all. I have a 2011 A6 3.0T ( Japanese import) For the first time since owning it I had to find a garage that sold E5 as that is what the dealer said eas best for my car. I have read that mine can, but I woild love some advice / recommendation from owners on here. Is it ok to mix the fuel if needed and will it do damage if I just start using E10? Thanls everyone

Have tried doing both bleeds on vcds. Car hot, ac off, interior temperature full, fans lowest setting and on an incline but no difference

Hi might be worth bleeding the circuit as any air in the system will cause it to stop pumping as it registers pressure when it is working and will go to default [stop when no pressure is sensed], if you get the same temperature fault back on the MAF its knackered. Steve.

Hi both codes are glow plug related and I think the fuel rail pressure sensor fitting was coincidental to the problem you have now.

Have readapted maf as if it was newly installed. Nothing on vcds to adapt heater pump, can only run output tests or bleed cooling and low temperature cooling circuit

Hi don't think there is one as both items report back to the ECU with pulse signals, with regard to the pump you fitted [not that I ever changed one] is there anything on VCDS for adapting the new unit?, from the rest of your posts I would lean toward the MAF failing again, have you tried re adapting the MAF.

Hi I had the same a couple of years ago with four clutch master cylinders all failing within a couple of months, finally bought a genuine LUK unit from ECP and that cured it, I think in an effort to make money they have been buying cheaper elsewhere to bump up profits, I don't blame you for getting rid, I was heartbroken when my one terminated itself back in January when the electronic handbrake let go and it rolled into a brick wall, l have now bought a VW Passat nice and simple as it doesn't throw up a light for every event, brilliant on diesel and adblu the bonus being any new quality branded parts are about a third of the price, example Brembo pads and rear discs £105 the set, the Audi was over £200 for the discs and another £70 for the pads, done 10k since beginning of Feb and then Passat has not missed a beat. Steve.

color quattro ??

ohhh

Is there a fuse for the intake air temperature sensor and MAF if so where is it?

Thanks. Yes, I have been looking at similar things since I posted. I was also concerned about disconnecting the radio without a code but am now familiar with the process.

I'd take something from here. Depending on what connector you have behind your radio. Basically it emulates cd changer and adds bluetooth connectivity that way. https://www.connects2.com/products/steering-wheel-control-interfaces/vehicle/Audi/A4

Hi, I have a 2010 Audi A3 2.0 turbo S Line I was working on the exhaust flange with a big ratchet and a cheater bar and I accidentally grounded the motor to the top of the battery it sparked I got in the car. My four were going off. I had to reset the computer to get them to shut off, and now I have electric to the entire car but when I try to turn it over, it says ESP fault it won’t crank and OBD two says lost communication with TCM … I changed the valve body on the dsg still same codes… I’m getting power to dsg but no info on can bus pins. Help

Hi all. I've just bought an A6 S Line and I'm loving it so far. The only bugbear I have is scratches on the centre console. Has anyone got any tips on how to either improve these scratches or replace the console? I'm a novice when it comes to this sort of thing so please go easy 🤣 Thanks in advance ☺️
