Hi all,
Just got my car back from Unit5 in kent, having had them try to get the engine mangement light to go out. Picked it up got half a mile it was back on.

It registers a fault code of 16985/p0601/001537 and can be cleared, however it appears again almost straight away, the reference i have found for this is at http://wiki.ross-tech.com/index.php/16985/P0601/001537 although that car seems to run faultlessly.

I'm now terrified that i need some VERY expensive repairs, having just brought the car i'm probably panicking needlessly, but can anyone shed any light on this, and/or any possible solutions? If i do need a new ECU, how much does one of those cost?

P.S. Just had an N115 (evap) canister purge solenoid valve any ideas what that is, what it does, and or should i worry about that aswell.......lol

Many thanks in expectation and trepidation,

Paul.

The link you give has different suggestions depending on what engine you have, but you don't tell us that information...

Can you copy and paste the complete code.

In Maidstone maybe able to help and i have VAG COM

Cheers

Matt

hey paul - solution is simple - your car needs to go to dealer for an SVM (software upgrade) of the ECU. DO NOT replace ECU, as this isnt necessary - im at AUDI dealer in South Africa

sorry for delay in posting back here, lost the thread. The car is a 52 plate RS6

Did you get this sorted? Did you visit your local dealer for the above mentioned SVM? Just asking as I read elsewhere that this will not cure the problem.

no, still got the light on, but it seems to run just fine, but would like to get it to go out, it does bug me
