I need help, any hints would be appreciated!
I got these codes thrown when I VAG'ed my baby. The cats are removed, so the emissions isn't a worry.
VAG-COM Version: Release 404.0-US

Control Module Part Number: 8D0 907 551 M
Component and/or Version: 2.7l V6/5VT G 0001
Software Coding: 06711
Work Shop Code: WSC 63351
5 Faults Found:
16805 - Warm Up Catalyst: Bank 1: Efficiency Below Threshold
P0421 - 35-00 - -
16815 - Warm Up Catalyst: Bank 2: Efficiency Below Threshold
P0431 - 35-00 - -
16825 - EVAP Emission Control Sys: Incorrect Flow
P0441 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent
16684 - Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected
P0300 - 35-00 - -
16685 - Cylinder 1 Misfire Detected
P0301 - 35-00 - -

THANKS!

Removing the cats could cause all sorts of error codes - I doubt that too many people on this forum are running without cats (we're all very 'green' :roll: ). What did you do with the Lambda probes from the cats?

Have you tried asking the question on the VAG-COM forum on AW?

Certainly these 2 codes are as a direct result of removing the cats.

16805 - Warm Up Catalyst: Bank 1: Efficiency Below Threshold
P0421 - 35-00 - -
16815 - Warm Up Catalyst: Bank 2: Efficiency Below Threshold
P0431 - 35-00 - -

EVAP low flow and cat low efficiency are cos the cats have been removed.
Random cyl misfire and misfire on cyl 1 will be created at the same time.
Simple way to start would be to swap coils for cylinder 1 and 2. Clear DTC memory and roadtest vehicle.
If cyl 2 now shows misfire, replace the coil.
If cyl 1 still says misfire, problem is inside cyl 1 and could be a closed up or damaged plug.
If plug is ok, may be injector or even low compression due to valve/ring or gasket leak.
A B6 S4 with this fault WOULD be a coil fault.
