My RS4 problems

Post by Evopilot » Tue Aug 14, 2018 6:53 pm

So i bought this car knowing she needed a little love so thats fine....

i plugged in VCDS today and got a few problems... (Check engine and EPC light are on, i cleared them and waited for permanent codes to come back)


============================================
000816 - Knock Sensor 2 (G66) -- Where is this sensor? and whats the replacement part number does anybody know?
P0330 - 008 - Malfunction

000807 - Knock Sensor 1 (G61) -- Where is this sensor? and whats the replacement part number does anybody know?
P0327 - 002 - Signal too Low

008224 - Intake Manifold Flap Position Sensor (Bank 2) -- Where is this sensor? what does it look like for me to order a new one?
P2020 - 008 - Implausible Signal - Intermittent - MIL ON

============================================

005495 - Right Engine Mount Solenoid Valve (N145) -- My understanding is this is just a sensor on an engine mount is this correct? are they hard to change?
P1577 - 004 - Open Circuit

005491 - Left Engine Mount Solenoid Valve (N144) -- My understanding is this is just a sensor on an engine mount is this correct? are they hard to change?
P1573 - 004 - Open Circuit

============================================


Ive tried highlighting the questions so any help would be appreciated, shes a RHD RS4 B7 european model

I think the engine mount solenoids are the actual engine mounts themselves. From memory they are about £230 each just for the parts, then obviously fitting is the same as most other engine mounts.

engine mounts sadly are costly to fit and buy-prone to fail again soon after too...

AwesomeGTi Store sell the 034 Motorsport street density engine mounts, they're about half the price of the Audi ones, and you can get a plug-in resistor so you don't get a fault code. I fitted a set of the street density ones in mine and cannot tell any difference at all between the Audi and 034 ones for noise, vibration or harshness.

Is it actually the mount failing causing noise and vibration or just an error being flagged that your only going to see when you do a scan ? I had the same code appearing when I was frequently scanning. MRC didn't advise it needed replacing unless I wanted to spend more money and I'm no longer losing sleep over it or scanning as much.
As a new owner like me, I'd suggest living with it, get to know the car and focus on putting other things right and getting car to the level you want it. Unless it is causing vibration etc. then you must address.
It's prob more convenient to address engine mounts when you have other work being carried out like clutch etc.
Enjoy
