Screwdriver_1 Posted July 30, 2024 Share Posted July 30, 2024 I own a 2016 2.0 manual Evoque and I am seeing the trouble code P06A8. Initially, there were other codes, but the P06A8 has been there from the start. The vehicle initially had electronic gas recirculation (EGR) fault codes, which were resolved by mapping them out. Additionally, there were diesel particulate filter (DPF) fault codes, which were resolved by removing and mapping them out. Both the battery and the waste gate actuator have been replaced. When attempting to accelerate, the vehicle enters limited performance mode. To resolve this issue, switch off the car for around 15 minutes and then turn it back on. The error should be resolved. If you drive the automobile with gentle acceleration and avoid excessive force, the issue may be prevented for a significant duration. I would much appreciate it if anybody could provide any insight if they have had the same or a similar malfunction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rojoires Posted July 30, 2024 Share Posted July 30, 2024 The P06A8 code often indicates that the powertrain control module (PCM) has identified an abnormal reference voltage signal or a performance issue with a specific sensor labelled as "C". The sensor in issue is often linked to the automatic gearbox, transfer case or one of the differentials. Typically, there will be an additional sensor code that provides more precise information beside this code. The P06A8 code indicates that the sensor reference circuit voltage is either beyond the anticipated range or not performing as expected. To ascertain the position and use of the "C" sensor for the specific vehicle, go to a reliable source of vehicle information such as AllDataDIY. If the P06A8 code is saved by itself, it is likely indicative of a PCM programming mistake. Prior to addressing the P06A8 issue, it is necessary to first detect and correct any additional sensor codes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screwdriver_1 Posted July 30, 2024 Author Share Posted July 30, 2024 Greetings, I appreciate your response. I have thoroughly examined the explanations for p06A8, however, the error number is the only information provided without any indication of which sensor could be responsible for the malfunction.

CheresX Posted July 30, 2024 Share Posted July 30, 2024 Â The other codes you have successfully resolved may have been the crucial ones and served as the indicators you need. The sensor in issue is often linked to the automatic gearbox, transfer case or one of the differentials. P06a8 is often accompanied with a more precise sensor code.

Screwdriver_1 Posted July 30, 2024 Author Share Posted July 30, 2024 Indeed, it seems that the issue is mostly associated with automatic vehicles, although my automobile is equipped with a manual gearbox. The issue manifests only during acceleration and ceases when the vehicle is turned off, kept idle for a little period, and then restarted.

Rojoires Posted July 30, 2024 Share Posted July 30, 2024 However, it is important to note that you still own a transfer case and differentials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screwdriver_1 Posted July 30, 2024 Author Share Posted July 30, 2024 Thank you for your assistance. I will have the sensors inspected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screwdriver_1 Posted July 30, 2024 Author Share Posted July 30, 2024 At the outset of the conversation, I failed to specify that my car is an eD4, which is a 2-wheel drive vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
