Audi Forum - Audi Forums for the A4, S4, TT, A3, A6 and more! - 2004 Allroad 2.7 with 18032 & 16805 Codes.

I need to visit our friends with the exhaust probe sticks (I guess they use the electronic probe now) in the next two weeks.

My MIL was on, and I my vag com scan showed:

VIN: WA1YD64B74N013322

Address 01: Engine Labels: 078-907-551-AZA.lbl
Part No: 4Z7 907 551 S

2 Faults Found:
18032 - MIL Request Signal Active (Check TCM for errors too!) P1624 - 35-00 -
16805 - Warm Up Catalyst; Bank 1 P0421 - 35-00 - Efficiency Below Threshold
Readiness: 0000 0000

Address 02: Auto Trans Labels: 01V-927-156.lbl
Part No: 4Z7 927 156 M
Component: AG5 01V 2.7l5VT USA 2122
Coding: 01002
Shop #: WSC 02325
VCID: 50A177A5906FFF98F1C

1 Fault Found:
17125 - Torque Converter Clutch P0741 - 35-00 - Stuck OFF / No Power being transferred

The Torque Converter problem has been there for a year, and I haven’t had any of the other symptoms with the transmission yet, but realize I will need to change those two o-rings in the torque converter soon.

The 16805 is a code I have yet to see on this car.

I’m not very good at understanding some of the posts (and the vag-com readings are also difficult for me to understand), but I believe one post said to run a test, on the O2 sensors from a cold engine.

I think the following is the information the post was recommending, but don’t know how to read it.

I will appreciate any input from other members. I cleared the codes, but the 18032 kept coming back. Just drove the car a few miles, and noticed there is much more power today, than yesterday.

Any ideas on what I should do next?
