  • Poorly S4...again.

    My forever ****** running S4 isn't running right again. Don't really know what to look for anymore, no error codes and I've chnaged all sorts including lambda and maf sensors. Checked compression as well that's all good too. Just feels very flat? Boost is there but just doesn't have the go. I have 2 liter diesel Beemers flying past me as if I'm stationery?

    anyone down south would want to look at her maybe?

    cheers lads

    Boost leak or iffy MAF plug? Mine currently eevry week or two starts running flat with no go at all. All I do is unplug the MAF and plug it back in which immediately fixes it. Need to get around to changing the MAF pins...

    Hope it's an easy fix

      Done a boost test and no leaks, I've checked mad plug and there is no corrosion on any of the pins. Tested MAF plug using Dave's (UrS4boy) procedure and it was all well within spec.

        Do you have a boost gauge? What level of max boost are you getting? Sounds to me like your issue is with the Moisture Trap on the firewall.

          I do, I'll hook it back up and double check, last time it was good.

          I've connected it by the ECU with a t piece.

            Yes check max boost pressure, if it’s only 0,4 Bar then either the ECU is not allowing boost control or the WGFV is not working.

                On the dash it goes to 2.3bar but is a little slow (I think) to get to it. I'll connect manual boost gauge back up and see.

                  Did you change the knock sensors?

                    Boost gauge shows 1.2/1.3 bar.

                    knock sensors have been done since I got the car 2 years ago, 1 is genuine and one was Siemens VDO.

                      On my way back from work seemed like she's running right and then other times just sluggish and just not fun at all.

                        Replaced with new or just replaced with randoms?

                            I've put new N75 H version on Colesy's group buy as that is one of the rare sensors I haven't done yet and heard people say it improves things if it hasn't been done and mine has down 220k miles

                              Choked/blocked exhaust maybe? Irregular fuel pressure?
