morning,
new to the forum and need some help, my car has been having issues recently iv been getting the flashing glow plugs and then they stop and the engine management light comes on also the car kicks out a LOT of black smoke even at idle. iv had it scanned and the code coming back is
p3138 (12600) intake manifold runner control regulation deviation
and
p0546 exhaust temp sensor (bank 3) *this is getting changed at the moment
my question pretty much is, is the intake manifold runner the anti-shudder valve/ throttle body? or is it the black plastic but after the EGR valve with the flaps in? also would this fault cause the smoke that im getting? also the diagnostics said that the p3138 fault was intermittent but the smoke seems to be pretty much constant at the minute and i removed the pipe that feeds the anti shudder valve and seen the flap does actuate when the engine is turned off so it does function to a degree.
just to confirm the car is a 07 A3 2.0tdi s-line 170bhp
one last thing apparently there was a service bulletin from audi to do with the p3138 code and a software update was required but when i went to warrington audi they said that they couldn't find the bulletin and palmed me off.
cheers for your time lads , nick
