Hi all, just looking for some advice, i don't really know this car too well yet.

I've had a 2005 Audi A3 2.0 TDI since May this year, 61,000miles on it.

Had the engine management light come on a few weeks back, Vagcom'd it and told me:

1 Fault Found:

16567 - Fuel Temp. Sensor A (G81)
P0183 - 000 - Open or Short to Plus - Intermittent
Freeze Frame:
RPM: 756 /min

Speed: 13.0 km/h
Load: 0.0 %
Voltage: 13.98 V
Temperature: 23.4°C
Temperature: 38.7°C
Temperature: -37.8°C

Bought the new part, fitted it and cleared the code. All sorted.
Then the last couple of days the light come back on and also can't turn the air con on (ECON) button stays lit up.

Scanned it tonight and got:

Closed bonnet and did something else instead.
Car seems to drive fine, used to be a bit juddery in the morning before the fuel temp sender and that's gone away. I do notice that after a journey and turning engine off it seems to shut off with quite a jump, bit more sudden than it was (a bit like if you stall it). Could it be an earth issue?

All i could see under bonnet that caught my eye was a very small amount of oil around the turbo, seems to blow a bit onto the alternator.
 
not to worry, had a search and found a big thread about the flap thing. Looks like i'll have to spend some more money on this car. Bummer :( Was hoping not to have any problems with this car, Meant to be saving money for my other car.
