Hello everyone,
I hope everyone is staying well and healthy!!!
In order to make your life more interesting during the lock down I throw away this puzzle to dwell on.
This error EML light reappears every 2 months or so during the last year:
"2 Faults Found:
17912 - Intake Air System
P1504 - 35-10 - Leak Detected - Intermittent
17573 - Long Term Fuel Trim Additive Air; Bank 1; Range 1
P1165 - 35-00 - System too Rich
Readiness: 0000 0001"
My impression is that the light appears when I brake suddenly at the point where I have to change for a lower gear. It is kind of. Otherwise I do not see any other reason to think about.
Since my understanding of the cars is worse than that of the computers I understand the fault as the engine either receives more air than it is necessary to mix a proper air/petrol mixture OR some sensor(s) do not function properly.
The point to bear in mind is that the engine 1.6FSI BAD was reconditioned this February yet this fault, that started to appear last year, emerged already 3 times after
reconditioning.
After reconditioning the engine started to sound like an Apache helicopter - wush wush wush wush - a very pleasant quiet understated sound of an autumnal drizzle in a windless day.
It was not like this before reconditioning at all - it sounded like a small lorry.
When the EML light is on the engine sounds more like a diesel engine.
It does look like that the fuel/air mixture is not proportioned and the engine sound
The garage where they usually do the repair with my A2 is still closed so I have not yet discussed the issue with the mechanics.
Their faces become sad when I bring my A2 for repairs because "this xxxxxx car's engine is so tight" yet during the years they
had done the work on it they are slowly getting there, so-to-say.
Therefore I would like to hear all possible opinions of the honourable members of the forum before I talk to them.
What would be the parts that you would have looked at had you have the same fault?
Many thanks indeed!!!
