Volume-audi Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 So I have this noise coming from my Audi a3 (2004 plate. 1.6.) Now the engine warning light is either on or flashing with the light to the left on until I restart the car (maybe traction control) usually it happens under acceleration. Could this be a blocked or broken catalytic converter? Please can someone please help me. Many thanks in advance.

cliffcoggin Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 As Piotr said, you need to take it to a garage. The warning lights only tell you there is some sort of fault, they do not give specific information on what the fault is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volume-audi Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 So now I have white smoke coming from the exhaust and I've attached a picture of the codes below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niedzial1983 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Did you delete these faults and scan again to see what is coming back ? Some might be historic ?

Volume-audi Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 I did delete those faults and a smaller list came up, but this time it was a misfire on cylinder 4 and shareware version?? Prior to this happening I was emptying a 2 litre bottle of oil into her every two weeks....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niedzial1983 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 To be hones you need a visit to the garage that will diagnose and fix the issue . Probably imposible to help online buy guessing what this could be... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
