  1. If the turbo system fails to provide boost, you can expect the engine management light to illuminate and a fault code to be generated.
  2. He was arrested and charged with armed robbery and abduction a few years after successfully evading punishment for committing murder.
  3. Regrettably, the world does not suffer a significant loss. Apologies for making negative remarks about someone who has passed away.
  4. It is possible that dropping it caused something to become loose. Can you compare the two without causing any damage to the one that is functioning properly?
  5. I am uncertain if the plastic end block has a functional component for the key. Hopefully, someone else may provide the missing information.
  6. To what extent is it damaged... Is it possible to replace the internal components of a used key?
  7. I removed the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system from my previous Audi 1.9tdi only for the purpose of assessing its condition. I was astounded by the complete obstruction, a single massive formation of carbon that was completely immobilised. It may have been completely blocked off. The car performed really well and consistently passed the emissions test with flying colours. The tester even acknowledged the impressively low results. Therefore, I doubt the extent to which they really have an impact. Although I thoroughly cleaned it, I did not see any noticeable change afterwards. I am certain that Volkswagen has compensated for any harmful emissions resulting from individual blocked EGR valves via their extensive scandal involving diesel emissions from their cheating device. I would engage in any activity that brings you a sense of joy and satisfaction.
  8. Many individuals choose to remove or erase it due to the many problems it causes. (Whether justified or not) I somewhat see why individuals would feel that way, but I myself have not and will not. The emissions would not be significantly altered, and the removal of the EGR system would not result in any fatalities.
  9. We appreciate your assistance. Undoubtedly, if I were in the United Kingdom, I would offer you the job. I really valued all of your messages and guidance. If I had the N18 harness and ECU, I would undoubtedly use the whole B18 engine. Another consideration is that my gearbox is automatic, so I need the appropriate Electronic Control Unit (ECU), correct?Uncertain
  10. Thank you for your feedback. I am unwilling to have a head replacement. I want to restore and upgrade it, and then mount it on a N18 cylinder block with a mileage of just 40,000 km. I am inquiring about the feasibility of achieving interference-free operation between pistons and valves.
  11. Cylinder 2 of my N14B16A is not experiencing any compression. Carbon is present on valves. The pistons have a deep black coloration. The cylinder head has not yet been removed. The odometer indicates a number of 300,000 miles, although it is uncertain if the engine is original. The cam chain tensioner is an improved variant. Therefore, I believe that the engine was upheld, at least initially. Since the engine has accumulated a minimum of 150,000 km, it is in need of a new lease. Locating second-hand N14 engines with low mileage is quite difficult. A low mileage N18B16A with ancillaries was determined to be more cost-effective compared to a short block. I have heard that compatibility is limited to the changing of the ECU and CAS from the N18. However, I am curious whether it is possible to replace the N14 head and oil pump with the N18 in order to get an almost new engine. From my observation, the pistons, intake valves, and camshafts differ between the N14 and N18 models. There is no difference between the exhaust valves, crankshaft, and head gasket. Can the valves not make contact with the pistons? We appreciate any suggestions.
  12. Would an OB SCANNER be less useful? I came up a previous discussion on this topic from 2009. It seemed at the time that the purchase was exclusive and came with a high price. Is it still the same? Can a VAG-COM cable be purchased at a reasonable price, such as on Amazon, or are we still dealing with proprietary pricing? Is there a cost for the software?
  13. OBDII was created for vehicles manufactured after 1996, whereas VAGCOM was specifically a Windows software user interface developed for Audi and VW vehicles. How does VACOM impact the current landscape with the multitude of OBD II Scanners in use today? Do you need to get a VAGCOM interface and link it between an OBD II scanner and the OBDII Port on your AUDI? Do you need a scanner that is specifically bundled with the VAGCOM user interface and diagnostic capabilities? Could someone provide further details?
  14. Based on my research, I won't take a chance on another Mercedes with AdBlue, since it seems I was fortunate in my experience.
  15. I had a Mercedes W205 2017 C220d 9G-Tronic for almost 2 years, travelling mostly on dual carriageways and in town traffic with some highway use. I did not have any problems during this time. Compliant with ULEZ regulations and subject to a yearly fee of £30. Bought a certified pre-owned vehicle with a complimentary 2-year service plan, just had to pay for the MOTs. Inexpensive transportation until it was stolen from my driveway
  16. Have you verified the proper functionality of the new pressure sensor? I recommend revisiting this matter if you have not done so before. If you own the appropriate SAN tool, you should be capable of discerning the cause behind the most recent 16 regenerations. May provide clarification.
  17. It seems that the system believes it has reached its capacity and initiates a regeneration process. After each combustion, the soot residue is deposited as ash, which gradually accumulates and obstructs the diesel particulate filter (DPF). As far as I know, in order to eliminate the ash, one must dismantle the diesel particulate filter (although I lack expertise in this matter). What method did you use to cleanse the diesel particulate filter (DPF)?
  18. Do all automobiles possess such capability?....I have never operated a vehicle that did not have this feature. It enables you to go slowly in congested traffic without using the accelerator, and typically prevents the vehicle from rolling backwards on gentle inclines.
  19. The C207, often known as the E-Class Coupe, was derived from the W204, which is the C-Class Saloon. The C238 represents a novel floorplan configuration.
  20. I have been using a Halfords window cleaner without encountering any issues so far.
  21. The combination of a Pierburg Water Pump with a Meyle thermostat consistently meets my requirements.
  22. One potential course of action to consider is initiating the replacement of the switch as a first step.
  23. Is it possible that there is a problem with the switch or ballast boxes in the headlights?
  24. if your supplier is unwilling to cooperate, would it be advisable to consider engaging in a conversation with this individual? Comand Online Ltd offers various products, including map discs, Bluetooth devices, phone kits, and CDC kits, at discounted prices. During the limited duration of my presence in this community, I have found the individual in question to possess commendable literary merit and a well-established position in comprehending the intricacies associated with the COMAND platform.
