Hello all!
Audi A3 8P1 2010 2.0 Tdi Black edition
KE10 HBO
So I’ll try and keep it brief... On Sunday the engine management light came on and my car went into limp mode. Re-circulated the power, boost came back but as soon as the revs dropped (i.e. coming to a stop) went back into limp mode again.
Took it to the garage to get diagnostics checked and it came back with the following faults:
Coolant Pump 2 – Open Circuit – P261A
MIL ON – Intermittent – Confirmed
EGR Valve (N18) – P0403 00 (096) – Malfunction
Intermittent – Not confirmed
From reading some threads, the coolant pump is for the EGR valve. So my question is, if the coolant pump isn’t working right, would this then mean the EGR valve isn’t working right hence both faults? So if I was to replace the coolant pump, would this then fix both issues?
I got quoted £1100 to replace both which I just can’t afford! Any help would be appreciated...
