Hi,

Hope ive posted this in the rigth place but basically im looking for some advice with some faults my Audi appears to have..

Firstly, when i bought the car (a few months ago) the engine management light was on but i was assured there was nothing wrong and it was a 'gremlin' of sorts. Since then ive driven regularly for 2 or 3 months with no problems other than i have had to top the oil up on 3 occasions (each time putting 1litre in).

Yesterday whilst doing about 65 on the motorway, the EPC, ESP and ABS warning lights came on the dash and it went into what i believe is refered to as 'limp mode'. I couldnt increase my speed and acceleration was non existent. Flipping into semi auto mode and manually going up and down gears had no effect on performance (the engine did rev however - reluctantly). Anyway, i drove home carefully and then today borrowed a friends KII USB cable and ran the diagnostics which came back with a few faults.

I wonder if anyone could help shine some light on to what is the problem(s)?

here is the readout:

For the first problem ive found this:

which gives me an idea what to look for and similarly this one:

for the third:

http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index...7/P1479/005241

the fourth and fifth i havnt been able to find anything (yet):

18047 - Accelerator Position Sensor 1/2 (G79/G185): Implausible Signal

and the brake fault:

18264 - Throttle Potentiometer (G69): Error Message from ECU
P1856 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent


Is there anything here obvious to someone as to what the problem might be? are they related in anyway?

Thanks,

Just a quick update:

i started the car today and no lights were on the dash (except the engine management light - which is always since i had it).


i test drove it ok for a few miles - everything seems ok. I then drove it 25miles to work - no problems, although if anything there is a 'whistling' noise around 2k rpm but that could just be a noisey turbo i suppose - although it may be linked to the whole 'incorrect air flow' problem..

I did think that on the motorway at 70mph the car would go into limp mode again but it didnt..

more confused than ever now..!

any help?

I like Audi, because I loved more than seven years. But he had to travel through the shop was four digits. I thought it would be fun to do another type of car we have an SUV and Jaguar XJ-6, so I was very large sedans.

Ok, firstly, thanks for NO help guys.. really great forum here...

it turned out to be a one way valve which had perished, ive replaced and reset the ecu now so far so good..

Hello, I have a couple of the same faults that just showed up, but have cleared on their own. You mentioned that you replace a faulty one way valve. Can you provide more details and the part no.? Thanks!
