Re: Ask me anything about Audis!
Happy New Year to you too
And thanks for the response on diagnostic codes.
But could the list be different for a 2005 MkI?
For example: I previously thought that code 49 was Engine Coolant Temp, but the list shows code 51 for ECT. When I put it on 49 I get about 80 degrees C. on code 51 it shows 90 degrees. As a check, I put it on engine RPM (code 28 ) and I get a constant value of 140 regardless of engine speed (or does it show idle speed?)
Anyhow many thanks
Wally

The list of codes may vary depending on car options, chassis codes etc. Code 51 seems to be a variant of coolant temp. Does code 27 show your RPM?

Re: Ask me anything about Audis!
Thanks: Yes, code 27 shows RPM
The list you posted is obviously a bit different for my TT, for example the engine RPM is code 28 on the list but, as you pointed out, 27 is the correct code for RPM. With code 49 on the value fluctuated between 77 and 82 degrees C, while code 51 shows a steady 40 degrees C. So I think that the 51 might be oil temp and 49 might be coolant temp, even though the list states the 49 is a malfunction counter for the speedo, and 51 is coolant. Any idea on how confirm this?
Thanks again

Re: Ask me anything about Audis!
No smoke at all at start. Not even at cold start.
I monitorred the oil. After 1000Km MMI shows 60%. (a bit over half).

Re: Ask me anything about Audis!
Back to Climatronic codes: My last post said that code 51 results in a constant reading of 40, I meant to type 90. Anyhow it seems that coolant temp, on code 49, fluctuates between 77 and 82 degrees C. Does this sound low or is it within acceptable range?
Thanks
Thanks

Intermittent Time Display Problem
2008 A3 2.0T concert radio
There is a setting on the radio to display the time. If turned on the time displays under the radio station number when the radio is on and displays in a large font in the centre of the display if the radio is turned off.
Sometimes the time just won't display or if it displays with the radio station it no longer displays if the radio is then turned off.
Turning the car off then back on solves the issue most, but not all of the time.
After I changed my battery last month the issue is much much less frequent.
Any idea what may cause this?
I went to the dealer while under the certified used warranty but was told that radios are not covered. They would not look up the tech number listed in the thread below unless I booked the car in to have a technician look at it so did not proceed. The car is now off warranty completely.
I am wondering if the issue in this thread is relevant and if so how to proceed.

Re: Ask me anything about Audis!
Hi MotorFabrik,
I have a 2012 A4 and would like to implement a number of VAG-COM code changes. The car has a fairly long extended warranty. Could you comment about whether my making some code changes could invalidate the warranty and if there might be any other issues that could crop up with the dealership (Queensway Audi in Toronto) ? Many thanks !!

Re: Ask me anything about Audis!
Hello,
I am wondering how many cars with engine code CAEB have been sold in Canada between 09-11. I can find the number for US which is approximately 126,000. However no luck for Canada. Any insight on this?
Thanks in advanced!

Re: Ask me anything about Audis!
MotorFabrik,
what a great offer to make!
I have a 2006 A3 with the BPY engine. 120k km, on it. I change the oil and filter about every 10k km with M1 TDT 5W-40. In the past couple weeks I have had two occasions where the car sat for a couple days, started fine, but idled a bit rough, sounded a bit like a diesel when driving, and my low oil pressure light came on. On both occasions I stopped driving right away, turned the car off, restarted and let it idle a couple minutes, at which time the noise abated and oil warning light extinguished. Performance and subsequent starts on those drives was normal.
What would you suggest I do to further diagnose the cause of this? Thanks!
