Much appreciated

You're welcome, ensure to post an engine scan for future posts. This helps better.

Plausible causes,
- severe carbon build up on the intake valves.
- weak fuel pump
- clogged injectors
- bad spark plugs

I'd recommend a tune up service,

1. Take out the intake manifold, clean the intake valves.
2. Service clogged injectors or replace faulty ones
3. Renew the spark plugs

If the issue is not resolved or there's little improvement, consider replacing the fuel pump.

Hello,

I got an Audi A6 Quattro 2006. It hasn't been used in like two years. I went with my mechanic and he said the engine is sound and not an accident car, I'll just need to fix one or two issues that's bound to arise due to the length of time it wasn't in use.

I've fixed the radiator, serviced it, changed the ac compressor before leaving Lagos.

What other things do I need to check and make sure they are in good working condition?

Consider checking the transmission fluid. Have you asked the reason why this car has not been used in 2 years. You may have some underlying issues somewhere in there. Your car is 2006 Audi A6 with upwards of 30 engine sensors and actuators, needless to point at the electrical modules.

Advice: Run a complete auto scan and post it here.

Wise word: your engine dey start no mean the car dey OK o.

I need repair walk through for the following codes

Passat 2008 Fsi
P0030 - Oxygen sensor B1 S1 Heating Circuit (Malfunction/Open Circuit)
P0341 - Camshaft position sensor (Implausible signal)
P1063 - Fuel pressure regulation (Control range not reached)
P0332 - Knock sensor 2 (Signal too low)
P3089 - Signal line for fuel pump electronics (Electrical malfunction).

I want to fix if possible on my own but if I have to take to a technician, I need to know what he has to do in order not to mess with the engine.

Thanks.

Good evening,

Error 1. The first O2 sensor located right after the exhaust manifold is likely disconnected, bad or the fuse has blown fuse 42-45 located at the fusebox in the engine compartment near the engine.

Error 2. The camshaft position sensor is at the top left side of this engine, its fitted to the top of cylinder just before the spot the plastic intake manifold bolts to the engine. Sometimes metal shaving magnets to this sensor preventing it from proper readings (pull it out and clean it), in another case your camshaft may have been misaligned, third scenario is mostly a faulty sensor that needs replacing.

Error 3 is pointing to a damage to the lobes of the camshaft, this lobe pushes the the piston plunger of the HPFP to deliver fuel as the cams rotates. The damage point may be from a worn out cam follower (the cup fitted to the head of the HPFP plunger), when this occurs the plunger's uneven surface is riding directly in the lobe of the camshaft thereby scraping of metals off the lobe. So here the damaged cam lobe is not able to push the plunger to the maximum point and fuel delivery is not at optimum.

Error 4 knock sensor error is not to be played with, if you ignore this, you'd have a broken timing belt and results in engine damage (bent valves). Moreover you'd notice sluggish acceleration, gear change hesistation, and fuel consumption with this error. So its an urgent error to be treated. Check the wiring, the connector for oil ingression or water intrusion. Clean it well and fit it back properly.

Error 5 this an issue with the wire coming from the ECU which controls the fuel pump control module. The color of this wire is Yellow with a blue stripe. Its located on the 94 pin connector on the ECU. I can't recall the pin number. But you can locate it on the connector, its the only wire with the color code.

Thanks

What about toyota type 4 or T-IV for the 09G 6 speed transmission?

My research online make it equivalent to
volkswagen OEM for thev09G

Thanks for other recommendations.

I've not used this ATF.

Good evening,
I hope you're having a nice weekend. This post is bringing to your attention on the proliferation of fake Volkswagen transmission ATF in the white bottle. I have had up to 4-5 customer's complaints on hardshifts and gear slips on their gearboxes after it was serviced with this fluid. My investigation is ongoing and I'm compiling the reports. Please ensure you source this fluid from a reputable dealer. I'd recommend a less expensive and good ATF; 1. HOLT 2. Oando Dextron III (3). The Holt ATF can be replaced at 6months interval. The Oando dex III can cover up to a year before change.

This post is only for the standard automatic transmissions. DSG gearboxes are excluded.

Good evening guys...

Please I need Passat CC 2011 brain box. Anyone who has the idea of the price?

Why do you need an ECU(brainbox), what are the issues on your car needing ECM replacement. If you care to share here, you may get valuable second opinion on the cause.

Please help the EPC and check engine light are on and also the transmission is not shifting normal and each time it shift from gear 4 to 5 it come back to 4. After scanning I have these code.
1. P2293- Fuel pressure regulator 2 performance
2. P2296- Fuel pressure regulator 2 control circuit high
3. P0087- Fuel Rail system pressure- Too low
4. P12A1
5. P0172- system too rich bank 1
6. P0420- Catalyst system efficiency below Threshold bank 1

Been a while I posted on here, hope these issues have been resolved.

Transmission no go obey engine wey no command well. Lol

Error 1 & 2.
the fuel regulator is located on the high pressure pump fitted on right side of the engine (near battery). First, it needs a physical inspection for signs of wear or damage. Have it unbolted from the engine, 1. Check the camfollower (small cup riding on the camshaft). 2. Check the plunger(the spring and piston).
The fuel regulator itself is the 32mm sensor bolted to the high pressure pump and can be replaced(often it's sold for the price of the whole unit, well since its the brain and only electrical part of the pump) the second error points to electrical issues with it, I'd recommend the designated fuse is checked, Its at position (33) numbered F33 on the engine fusebox located next to the battery, the proper fuse is 30A (green color) ensure the contacts are cleaned. Lastly check that the wiring socket to the fuel regulator is fitted tightly.

Error 3.
This is the fuel pressure sensor fitted on the injector rail (pipe line lol) reporting that our oga High pressure fuel pump (HPFP) aka fuel regulator is not supplying fuel well to the injectors, ((error 4) agrees too. So since the HPFP aka fuel regulator gets fuel from the fuel pump (low pressure fuel) and you've not posted error in regards to low pressures, please leave your fuel pump alone, don't touch it. Rather check the fuel pump control module ( the black relay connected to it and check the fuse controlling it. Make sure its 20A fuse(yellow) at position 34 (F34) located on the fusebox front passenger side.

Error 5
fuel control, air supply, solving the fuel delivery issues will sort this one. Take care of the errors in 1/&2

Error 6,

one or both catalysts (1 @ the exhaust manifold, the other (2)/@ the middle port of the exhaust pipe is getting clogged up or almost damaged. So cleaning or replacing the catalysts depending on the option available to you. I'd suggest replacing them. What damage(s)d it? - Overfilling of oil, your engine takes min of 4ltrs and max 4 1/2/liters only. Avoid this damange when the catalyst has been replaced. Keep an eye on your some panel beaters and mechanics they steal it too.

Sorry for the long thread. Our brother is in Asaba, the availability of certifed volkswagen techs there is a real issue.

Good day, if you’ve a 4plug Engine, I’d strongly suggest that the first O2 sensor(oxygen)(sensor 1 bank 1) (the one on exhaust manifold near the engine) is checked for proper function, you could have a code for it’s malfunction stored in your engine control module(brainbox). Further more, check for vaccum air leak ( intake manifold, pvc). Lastly run a scan on the engine control module and post it here.

Regards

Car Talk / Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Sualcatnas(m): 2:05pm On Jun 16, 2020
P043E&F. I would suggest you have vaccum lines leading to your canister checked for blockages.

P0138
P0420 the catalyst in your exhaust is aging (pay close attention to it) you may have clogged exhaust soon.

P2402 the wiring harness is likely disconnected (check the wiring socket on the canister)
P2419 wiring issue (voltage signal)

Get the service of a Toyota specialist to diagnose and fix the issues properly.
