Hi I thought that I'd see if there's any interest on here before I think about breaking the car for parts as I've not had a lot of interest elsewhere. It's been running a stage 3 map now for some time that was done with multiple 3rd gear pulls whilst running diagnostics to adjust everything to get it running. Been told it's North of 300bhp. I bought it for £2500 with a key mark up one side of the car from the front wing to the rear door and have replaced both doors and wing. It was smoking every now and again when driving and I thought it was the injectors so I got some new ones on an exchange basis and still smoked which I found out was the turbo seal so found the hybrid going for a steal and had it installed. Along with a 4 bar map sensor, decat, no dpf, induction kit, muffler delete, egr delete. Had the timing chain done a few thousand miles ago. Had a problem with a boost leak as of late and was flat spotting very bad and have re sealed the egr and cleaned the turbo vanes and it now boosts very well again but still has hesitation so would say the pipes themselves need replacing. Front bumper is the worst as you can see from catching a curb when reversing but it's study. Just JDM bumper bands doesn't suit a German car. And that's where I'm at today. The mot had not long run out as with the boost problem I've been using my van. I've been told that to get it through the mot it needs some new tires and some welding on the exhaust ( I tacked on the pipes with the muffler delete so just need welding) if someone was interested I'd get these done and get it mot'd. But if not would anyone have interest of I broke it? 138k miles. Been offered £1700 by someone who has no intention of keeping it on the road and only wants to break it so I'd rather break it myself or see if anyone on here is interested.

Hi guys know it's late but mine ended up being the easiest fix ever. The pump on the passenger side wasn't faulty but after fighting the lock ring off for an hour and taking it to a garage It turned out the arm which the float attaches to had disconnected from the pump and required putting back into place and has stayed put the last few thousand miles. So check before and don't be an idiot and buy a new pump which was working perfectly fine.

Hi guys I'm at real logger heads ATM and hoping someone's done the same and can point me in the right direction. I've got a hybrid turbo installed on my 3.0 tdi (bmk) and have done all the supporting mods required ie. Cat, exhaust, inlet, intercooler etc. I needed to get a 4bar map sensor as now it's been remapped to stage 3 it's requesting 3 bar of boost and the standard 2.5 bar map sensor wouldn't be up for it. I got a Bosch 0 281 006 059 sensor and installed it ( big pain ) so turned car on and instantly limp mode, vnt vanes all the way open. Took it to get remapped to work with the sensor and he did "everything he could" but nothing still limp mode. I've included pictures of what vag com is showing if anyone can tell me where I'm going wrong.

It says safe on the box that means I can trust it 😂

I'll be cautious not to use anything electrical near the opening. I'll get light through a gas lantern that should be safe

The pressure is on then I'll do my best

Ok thankyou for that I'll try that tomorrow. Would soldering something that's been in diesel be smart?

I got the full vcds hex+can but it's a cracked version so stuck on 12.12. works fine though. Was £50 on eBay. Reset the codes yeah

Ive gone and bought VAG COM. I needed it any way to reset my service schedule. This is what im getting. 4 Faults Found: 00438 - Fuel Supply Sensor 2 (G169) 010 - Open or Short to Plus Freeze Frame: Fault Status: 01101010 Fault Priority: 7 Fault Frequency: 254 Reset counter: 103 Mileage: 143532 km Time Indication: 0 Date: 2017.03.16 Time: 19:09:31 00438 - Fuel Supply Sensor 2 (G169) 007 - Short to Ground Freeze Frame: Fault Status: 01101010 Fault Priority: 7 Fault Frequency: 254 Reset counter: 103 Mileage: 143532 km Time Indication: 0 Date: 2017.03.16 Time: 19:09:31 00771 - Fuel Level Sensor (G) 010 - Open or Short to Plus - Intermittent Freeze Frame: Fault Status: 00101010 Fault Priority: 7 Fault Frequency: 1 Reset counter: 117 Mileage: 208465 km Time Indication: 0 Date: 2019.01.27 Time: 09:38:24 01314 - Engine Control Module 004 - No Signal/Communication - Intermittent Freeze Frame: Fault Status: 00100100 Fault Priority: 2 Fault Frequency: 1 Reset counter: 120 Mileage: 208531 km Time Indication: 0 Date: 2019.01.27 Time: 16:11:21

Ok thankyou for that. All i did was change the one on the driver's side as that's the one with the electrical connector. I'll have the other side out and see what that does. I'll let you know

Hi all. Kind of exhausted all avenues here so im asking to see if anyone can help. Bought my A6 avant a few months ago from a private seller and noticed it was low on fuel so took it to the fuel station and filled up and was half way home when i realised the fuel warning light was on and it was telling me i had zero range and needed to fill up. Got it home and seller wont answer texts or calls ( Probably got the first flight out the country lol ). Ive had it on a few occasions when ive put my foot down and gunned it to get the gauge to read what is in the tank and it'll go back to zero when I start it again. This happens very rarely though so can never get it to happen when I want it too. Ive had it once where its been working for three trips one after the other on the same day but stopped working over night. Pretty sure when it does work it tells me what I have in there at that exact moment and stays that way as the range doesn't go down. Things ive done since ive had it is have the fuel pump / sender out and play with the connectors (nothing happened) tapped both sides with the car running to see if the gauges move (Nothing). Replaced the Fuel pump and sender for another used one from a working car. Nothing at first but two days later after changing it with the battery disconnected it worked and continued to work until today (3 Days) where it read zero. Not sure if it has anything to do with how much is in the tank but i was between 3 quarters and full. Not sure if it working for 3 days is a coincidence? Also tried pulling fuse 15 and no result. So as you can see im lost for ideas of what I can try next as I feel there is nothing apart from hanging it over to audi themselves to diagnose it and ive read stories that theyll just change anything will nilly until they find the fault. Many thanks guys.
