Hi all, I have an A3 8P 1.6 TDI 2010. I am hearing 2 sounds from the car and I do not know whether they are normal or whether something is wrong. No warning lights have come up on the dash and as far as I can tell, there is no loss of power. I have only recently gotten into cars so your thoughts and advice would be much appreciated! Sound Under the Bonnet There is a sound under the bonnet when the car is idling. Here is a link to a video of the car when idling: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_sKT7rQp9FdsMdGPaHqQMRCyQ82NQGuo/view?usp=drive_link And when the car is being revved: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1q_FSVZm4kz-Pgl536Pj6Ky2OH-nMoLrA/view?usp=drive_link It's a faint sound that can be heard in the background of the loud engine noise and fluctuates in pitch, it sort of sounds like a straight metal sheet being bent back and forth (not sure how else to describe it!). Sound When Accelerating There is a sound on the driver's side when accelerating, especially in the 1K-2K RPM range (above 2K the engine noise drowns out the sound but it is there). Here is a video of me accelerating the car (taken from passenger side so the sound may not be particularly clear): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MvTShvO7nukB-CajJ1aTcoN1OB9cmfPW/view?usp=drive_link The sound is similar to the one in this Youtube video but is more "airy" for lack of a better word: Once again, your advice would be much appreciated!

I have not long since got myself an audi a3. 2.0 tdi sport. Can anyone confirm, if my relative throttle is 0.0 when driving and the other reading is 85%, does that mean my throttle sensor as had it? Just for added info. I currently have the p2015 error code and an exhaust temperature fault. The exhaust freeze frame reads when rpm, I guess that sensor is done too. Also underboosting, suspect either one of these or the vanes, but starting with the easy options. Thank you, sorry for the long post and slightly jumbles post. Freeze frame read out below. Freeze frame DTC = P0544 Engine load - calculated value = 0% Engine coolant temperature = 63°C Intake manifold absolute pressure = 100kPa Engine speed = 0rpm Vehicle speed = 0km/h Intake air temperature = 46°C Mass air flow = 0.8g/s Throttle - absolute position = 90.98% Fuel rail pressure = 100kPa Ps, I still like the car haha

Evening people, So about 2 weeks ago my engine light and EPC light came on. Engine light began to flash and the car ran rough and juddered with little power as I pulled over to a stop. Lots of exhaust fumes came out smelling like petrol/oil but not sure. HOWEVER, today I got the car back (recovered) and it’s running just fine, drove it in a small circle etc. with none of the previous lights/issues. What could be wrong? I don’t want to part with my beauty! AA said maybe my fuel pressure sensors have gone and that my oil was overfilled upon inspection. They had the following error codes; Engine control 1 - A0F / Motronic MED 17 Status :P164E - Oil pressure control valve 1. Error Message : Electrical fault. Error static. Status :P2015 - Intake manifold flap position sensor. Error Message : Signal improbable. Error sporadic. Status :P0304 - Combustion failure cylinder 4 detected. Error Message : . Error sporadic. Status :P119A - Fuel-pressure sensor. Error Message : Faulty operation. Error static. Status :P0301 - Combustion failure cylinder 1 detected. Error Message : . Error static. Status :P130A - Cylinder shutoff. Error Message : . Error sporadic.We have arranged for a recovery of your vehicle.Engine Oil Overfilled Any help would be appropriated. I’ve attached videos of the engine when it went dodgey and the dashboard lighting up like a Christmas tree. Cheers, Euge IMG_9124.MOV IMG_9125.MOV

Engine coolant level warning light came on 4 weeks ago. The level dropped way below the minimum line. Topped it up with generic coolant from petrol station as that was the nearest garage. It’s now back to minimum 4 weeks later. And see video of hoses shaking vigorously at idle. Any suggestions on what could cause this would be appreciated. IMG_9361.MOV

Hey guys I just bought an Audi A4 Avant 1.8TFSI S line this Monday😁 I have a few problems and just wanted some advice from you guys so hopefully I can get some help if you don’t mind! When going onto Engine Oil Level the screen displays that the information isn’t available has anyone had this problem before I assume it maybe and oil sensor problem but I am uncertain? My Xenon headlight o/s says dipped headlight isn’t working and sometimes the light just appears on is this a loose connection and is there a link on fixing this? Lastly, when the engine is started it seems to move a lot that you can feel it stutter type thing in the cabin once it warms up it seems to go away? Any ideas on this?? Any advice would be great sorry for the questions Many thanks, Ryan C

Hi all. My Audi A3 1.6 petrol engine has been hunting (over-revving when idling) for a few years now. Last year it was an issue in the MOT as the mechanics found it hard to get it to idle at low enough revs to pass the emissions test. The garage have looked into it and have suggested it could be an oxygen sensor fault. This is speculative though, so for now I haven't asked them to fit a new one (£180ish for the part before labour). Has anyone had a similar problem with a hunting engine that they've managed to fix? Thanks.

Hi there, Im new member here. I own an A8 3.0 Tdi 2006 year and i would like to have some help to understand better my engine.

Hi there, first time posting here. I have a 2011 Audi A5 2.0 TFSI with 85k A bit of backstory.. My cars timing belt went while driving and was replaced in January. This was caused by the timing belt tensener becoming slack. After that my car has been struggling to keep constant revs when cold and ended up misfiring on a long drive. I managed to limp it to my garage where they changed the O2 sensor. The car seemed fine untill about a month ago when a wired metallic rattle started when letting off the gas. Sounds a bit like a clockwork spring being released. At first I could only hear it after turning the engine off but has now got louder. Sounds like it is coming from the left side of the engine. My car has started misfiring again and is currently undrivable as one of the cylinders isn't working. It also has a fault code saying the engine is running to rich at idle. This has gone after both repairs but returns after a few weeks. I had a fault code last year saying the car was running to lean but went after a week so haven't been to worried about that. I hardly drive my car. Probably around 1000 miles this year. Could anyone provide a bit of help. Just want to sell it now but need to get it working first

Hi all, This is only my second post very new to this forum so hey all! Just wanted to find some guidance on a problem I have recently had come up and I don't know where to go with it. Car is Audi A5 Cabriolet 2012 1.8 tfsi milage 54,855. The code is P0068 (have attached photo stating the codes details). Basically it doesnt point my in any direction of it it's the MAP sensor or the MAF sensor. And if it did where are they? Might sound dumb but I'm no techy by any standard but was just hoping to find some guidance and this one. The photo I've attached is my engine and he area I believe the MAF sensor would be but after doing some research online I seem to not be able to see a MAF sensor?. Anyone please! Help 🤣😂🤣 Ash

Hi Anyone with knowledge would be helpful. Last 31/08/17 2.0 tfsi engine running super rough vibrating heavily, then I saw black liquid splattering out both exhausts then engine management light came on. A week or more ago my oil light came up for several days staying on while driving. Now I belived my oil reserve when oil light on is 1 litre? And (been told today capacity is 4.2 litres). So I topped up exactly 3 litres. Today I gave car to mecanic to keep his 1st impression is I have over filled oil when he checked dip stick checked on his computer fault RANDOM CYCLINDER MISSFIRE. My question is why an earth and how could this all happen? Im goona assume mecanic will drain oil. As a side note he found a coolient hose near/next to/or on thermostat that's leaking coolient.

Hi all, My girlfriend's got an 03 Audi TT. It seems to run at > 90C when in normal operation and we've noticed recently that it'll occasionally dip into the red before dropping back to where it sits in the image. In any other car I've driven the temp would sit in the middle, in this case 90C, but her Audi always seems to sit on the mark between 90 & the red. Does this need checking out or is this normal? I'm also not sure how worried to be about it dipping into the red, the coolant levels seem fine. Thanks. IMG_6549.HEIC

Hi everyone, I’m new to the forum so bear with me! I have this issue with my A4 (B7) 2.0t cabriolet. In normal driving conditions when warm or cold the engine seems to run fine. No knocking, loss of power, strange noises or vibrations. It seems to be running as it always has. However, when I try to get the engine to run at very high load (ie greater than 90-95% load) such as accelerating in 5th or 6th gear up a hill, the engine light flashes, there is some juddering from the engine bay and zero increase in power output. Power levels don’t seem to drop, they just don’t increase. The check engine light flashes then sometimes goes out and sometimes stays on. If I stop asking for power then the car goes back to normal. Interestingly this doesn’t happen at all in gears 1-3 and only in 4th if I plant my right foot going up hill. Ive got an OBDII reader (which I’m aware isn’t as comprehensive as VAGCOM) that gives me some basic info and lets me reset the codes. I get code P0301 - Cylinder 1 misfire detected. Throttle position 88.24% MAF air flow rate: 103.38 grams/sec Timing Advance: 8.0 deg Speed: 98kph Long term fuel % trim-Bank 1: 1.56% Engine rpm: 3173 Intake air temp: 19.0 deg C Short term fuel % trim Bank 1: 15.62% Engine coolant temp: 93.0 deg C Runtime: 00:05:38 Engine Load: 100% Fuel system status: 2) Closed loop: Using O2 sensor for fuel mix. Ive done a fair bit of googling and most of the others with the same error code had the misfire occurring at all or most of the time, not just when under heavy load. I’ve swapped the coil packs and spark plugs between cylinder 1 and 4 with no change (makes me think they’re both fine) Although I haven’t swapped for new ones yet. Any thoughts? Wondering if there’s a bit of carbon deposit partially occluding the fuel injector for cyl 1? Although I’d have thought that would cause problems at lower loads as well. For what little it’s worth I popped a bottle of Redex in with a full tank of 98-99 RON BP petrol. So far used half that tank with no change. Doesn’t seem to be getting worse at least. Thanks for the help! Matt

Hi guys, I'm thinking of swapping my standard (non-turbo'd) 1.6 A3 engine and dropping a 2.0 TDI into it. Before I do, wanted to check if the chassis could handle the new weight and power? Cheers

Hi all, I have an Audi A3, 2015, S-Line, 2.0 TDI, Diesel and I have recently heard a faint grinding or crunching noise coming from the engine area, like a 'Skrrr Skrrr' noise when the engine is stationary. I have taken it to Audi several times and they are unable to rectify the fault. I am concerned that it could lead to something major and cost me a pretty penny in the future. I have attached a video for the sound to be heard hopefully over the loud diesel engine. If anyone would be kind enough to identify the noise or fault, it would be highly appreciated. IMG_2649.MP4 -

Ok, the A7 went if for its first MOT. It failed! Two tyres Dunlop sportsmaxx- one tyre bulge on inside and other split - both front tyres BTW. Oh and my number plate was 2 mm out with the spacing. :( One of the gearbox ECU’s failed the one that operates the auto handbrake malfunctioned ( you can guess the cost for that) lucky its in warranty Audi Garage carrying out MOT spotted oil leaking from between the Engine and Gearbox - said it would need to go back to the Audi garage I bought it from. So What Is Leaking then? Long story short and a week later back to the other Audi Garage. They had it for over a week as i refused to accept the car back unless it was resolved and fixed adequately, in fairness they agreed and carried out the required work. Said they couldnt find any oil leak, mmm, but said they wiped the understray and around the engine but could find any oil - WTF. They did identify the following and this follows in line with a stories i heard a while ago with older models when major engine damage was the outcome. 1st - They noticed the Adblue seals were leaking - so they changed those....TICK! 2nd. They also noticed the seals (4)around the injectors were leaking diesel....TICK This may sound pretty standard the way it was reported to me over the phone. They say they carried out a 200 mile test drive and couldnt see any oil leaking. So i have had the car back, on the basis that I drive it for another 600 miles before returning it for its next service. -

Hi all, New audi owner but having a bad experience. 2 weeks into ownership and the oil pressure light came on. Mechanic said leak in the crank seal and broken chain guides so advised to replace waterpump aswell and a few other bits. Turns out the cylinder head is knackerd too. Car has been in the garage for almost 2 months now. 😢 So i am now on the lookout for a cylinder head or even a whole engine. If any one can help or point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated. Thanks Nayan

Hi all, Since having a new clutch I've noticed that after a while (usually in traffic) this clunking noise happens when I've used the clutch a lot, thoughts? also theres still clutch judder but I have my clutch and flywheel changed under warranty but still happens, having my engine mounts (3) and a control arm (1) replaced soon. It sounds like the noise is coming from the top part of the engine, when its happening theres no change in revs, or anything else. only stops after taking off, it doesn't go if I lift the clutch up a few times. Thanks all Video below. 20161203_135023[1].mp4
