Cars a 58 reg audi a3 2.0 tdi 140 cr latest shape.

My cars been pretty much faultless but today i was driving home steady in traffic and noticed esp light flashing by the time i had noticed that the engine management light was then on too and the coil light flashing, herd a funny clicking sound coming from dash too but that could have been esp or something, put my foots to the floor no power, tried to restart and eventually restarted drove another kilometer it was running ok but warning lights still on cut out twice one and managed to get to my driveway. Once on the drive way i started the car ran ok then cuts out and now it wont restart at all just spins over but doesnt fire. Some im thinking its a sensor or problem with ecu heres the vcds readout if anytone can help tell me what it means:-

Also i do remember seeing the dpf light come one for a second but thb its always done that if you stall it a restart it whilst moving

btw the faults recorded with the rear light are from a few weeks back from when it went into the body shop for the rear quater to be repaired / painted i think so nothing to do with this.

Hope someone can shed some light on what these faults mean ? :hi:

Turns out water has entered the ecu as its located under the wipers :(

£750 + vat just for the part from the dealers
 
Very similar thing happened to mine on the drive home just after I brought it.

For me it was a Mass Air Flow (MAF) problem.

Driving home from Manchester to Birmingham I lost power in the fast lane.
Pulled it over and had ECU and ESU lights on, wouldnt start back up.
Left it a few minutes and it started up again.
10 minutes down the motorway it all happened again....ECU then ESU then it entered into limp mode.

Got it home, took apart the air filter and cleaned all connections/sensors and Reset the ECU to clear the codes.
Not had a problem since
