You can also get any warranty work or services performed at any Audi dealer by giving them the VIN and asking for it.

 

vliou,

Good day, i was just curious... Where do you find these TSB sheets?

Also, curious to know... The Audi folks billed my warranty people for the high pressure pump and stuff... Should Audi have paid for these repairs even if it's outta warranty since it's a known Audi issue?

I have to admit I'm wondering if they should have replaced my cam lobe or other parts having to do with the HP Fuel Pump issue when it was there.

Thanks,
Jason

 

Hey man, definitely let us know what the issue is... I'm curious?

congrads on getting it covered!

 

The shop can't get me in until July 9, so I won't be able to provide any feedback for awhile. I did pull the DTC and it was P2293, which is the code that is mentioned in the TSB I posted.

 

Shop just called and said that the cam and cam follower were fine and that they are replacing the fuel pump control module (OEM part number: 4F0-906-093-K). They stated that the part failed a voltage test.

I haven't found much info on the net regarding this part, so I'm not sure what to think.

Anyone have any info on issues with the control module?

 

More info.... I asked if the cam, cam follower or pump had been inspected according to the TSB. Here was the response:
"No. The pump was not taken off and physically inspected. The pump passed the pressure and output quantity tests. Had there been wear it would have failed these tests. There was a very small number of vehicles affected by this problem. Of all the 2.0 liter engines we’ve had in here, I can only remember 2 with the wear problem."

 

Sometimes, mechanics are idiots - sometimes, I praise them till on end.

In regards to cam follower wear (on the intake), the mechanic is a complete idiot. First of all, based on the TSB, there are thousands affected. - if I remember correctly, you're looking for the part that ends in "B", not "A", and I believe only years 2002-2006 (or early 2007) were affected. My mid 2007 A4 had the new part already.

In reference to the other question as to where I get my TSB's, I bought the Bentley Publisher manual for the A4. Comes in a DVD, and I can search up all the TSB's.

I had mine replaced - the mechanic could not duplicate the issue, but since everyone at the dealer knows my name (SIGH), I had them escalate the issue to the district manager and he authorized that repair for me - as well as putting in headlight spaces due to vibrating headlights (due to the vibration of the TFSI engine). - also a TSB.

The $100 you spend for the Bentley Publisher's manual is the best money you can ever spend for yourself. It also provides me with light bedtime reading (I know, I need to get out).

Going back to the cutout, I have had one more "burp" in my engine even after the new part. The original TSB said that it is very sporadic, and it is due to electrical interference. - funnily enough, I realized it only "burps" when my garmin GPS is plugged in - maybe a coincidence, maybe not.

Stay CLEAR away from inverters, sometimes they are poorly designed and send signals back into your electrical system - and you know the Germans and their electrics...if you HAVE to get one, get one made by Xantrex - the power out of them are cleaner as well (True sine wave vs modified).

Hope this post helps some...

 

And usma - they are incorrect. If it has minor wear and has not punched a hole through it, your output test would have passed. On the TSB, you can see a picture with like 4 different levels of wear....

Just call up Parts, ask them a favor, give them your TSB and see what part you have on it. If it ends in B, you're good.

 

I was supposed to pick up the vehicle today. I received an email that stated, "The control module did not affect the problem. The technician has contacted our Audi Service Engineer for further assistance."

I couldn't resist being a smart*** and asked if they should re-read the TSB I sent to them. It floors me that there is a TSB with the exact same symptoms and DTC codes and they won't even inspect the suspect parts. This service dept. isn't inspiring confidence.
