[2ny]

Hi Guys! i have a problem with my RS4 B5

i get this errorcode,

17704 - Error in Mapped Cooling System (usually temp Sensor or Thermostat)
P1296 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent


It seems that the thermostat is OK because ill get to about 90degres after about 14minutes slowdriving.

Does someone know where the temp sensor are located? is there only one sensor or 2, ive heard thats theres one black and one brown? not sure.

I get to 90 degrees in about 5 mins of slow driving

Isnt that very fast? i ment 90degres Celsius.

does someone have the workshop manual?

They warm up quickly. Water temp is up to 90 in about 3 miles of driving when I leave home.

I suspect your stat is at fault

I will check the Coolant Temperature Sensor (G62) tonight, i hope thats the one. because it was not that expensive.

il checked the temp today when i was driving to work the temp is att 75 - 80 degrees after 3 miles.

Mine takes 5 mins to 90 degrees C if that with new thermostat.
Before it would take ages to warm up then it would cool down to 60-70

ive got an G62 sensor now and im going to change it tonight, then il found out if thats the problem, i think it is because ive unplugged the old G62 yesterday and got a new fault and the last fault disappeard. il write back if it works.

ive got alot to do.........

Random misfires can happen for a number of reasons - as the DTC wiki on VAG-COM forums shows... If I were you I'd clear the faults and drive the car as normal, only worry if the engine light comes on stays on with this fault.
Could be something as simple as dodgy fuel, you need to clean the plugs or even new plugs...
Don't worry about it until it's happening all the time...

Okej ive cleared the codes, but i think ive have to connect the computer to it and see when im driving when the codes comes back. maybe i should change the fuelfilter? plugs? is that the sparkplugs? im from sweden so my english isnt all to good.
