    A6 BiTdi (CVUA) code: P0087

    That's unfortunate and its a long list for open injectors: - Your symptoms potentially (most likely points to another root cause however) - Fuel mix is too rich (losing MPG is a dead give away but sometimes its not so obvious) - White smoke out of the exhaust - Misfires (popping and...

    A6 BiTdi (CVUA) code: P0087

    Those values suggest the injectors are almost perfect and well within the expected tolerances, I'd keep investigating personally And thinking about it now, it's possible that it is tripping because the ECM detects out of factory values post-modification So, whoever done the work should have...

    Levelling Sensor?

    Last time I checked they weren't available separately as new, only from certain breakers as used/salvaged in various condition What I done was bought a load of the complete sensor units from Ali Express and pillage the parts as needed Can pick up a new full set delivered for about the same as...

    Levelling Sensor?

    I've had so much fun with these sensors in the past and that usually happens from a build up of dirt/debris inside the ball joints of the black link arms that causes a lack of movement So, once they can't rotate as designed they and/or the green level arms eventually break, a preventive measure...

    A6 C7 3.0 BiTDI engine shaking like crazy when cold

    It means you're probably past the DIY phase and should have the condition diagnosed by a specialist who can isolate a solid root cause

    A6 C7 3.0 BiTDI engine shaking like crazy when cold

    This and check the related fuses, as well as relays, open circuit should be the focus for the time being Also, even if all the sensor plugs are in/on, give them a spray with electrical contact cleaner And clear codes, ignition off, wait as usual, then back on, retest for faults After that...

    A6 BiTdi (CVUA) code: P0087

    After further bench testing, the other three injectors appear to be good it seems and the car I'm working on here is getting off lightly this time around. Usually never happens, I'm mostly involved after the bad decisions were made and work is massive :D

    A6 BiTdi (CVUA) code: P0087

    Currently dealing with the same on another 3.0 V6 (CDUD, mixed grades of diesel over the years and just over 150k mileage) with that flashing light as a warning from the ECM to protect the engine. Sadly, its a general trouble code and could be triggered by many, many causes: -...

    Help needed for retrofit

    If you're previous steering wheel didn't have the same buttons and paddle shifters (or even if they did), then it's most likely they are not coded or there is some fault registered in the steering wheel control module. You'll need access to VCDS or similar dealer level diag tools with the...

    GPS no fix

    This is another good option if its GPS only, because the factory antenna can be used for up to three types of signals (GPS, GSM/Mobile SIM, and TV) if I remember correctly. The third-party options to look for have a FAKRA connector that usually plugs into the back of the head unit in the dash...

    GPS no fix

    Yeah, the OP who shared that hair dryer method had great success but that was straight after a car wash and they noticed the failure, if it's been awhile then its 50/50 but worth a try and then a good spray (inside the fin and out) with suitable electrical contact cleaner at least. As for the...

    GPS no fix

    Welcome to what I'm 95% sure is one of the common faults for poorly sealed roof antennas (the fin to the rear on the outside), what most likely happened is water or just the atmosphere over time has broken through the seal between the roof antenna/fin case and poof, no more GPS lock/fix because...

    Looking for audi allroad mud guards.

    Many of them and it's the attachments to the roof for the bars that are vehicle specific, Halfords as well as Thule have a guide on the website. Once the correct attachments are identified then a list of bars can be selected from for style, cost, etc. Also, it's worth looking up the maximum...

    Which to buy?

    Can only recommend V10's and V8's, but if one must grow then the V6's in 3.0L and above in most modern vehicles are acceptable. As mentioned before, coming from an R32 (I've had this as well as the VR6 Dragon before) the 4/5 cylinder engines would feel dead. Also, towing wise smaller engines...

    Help

    Depending on your regular driving routine (if more short + lower speed journeys) and the info shared here so far. It's likely that your DPF and/or ERG are at least partially blocked, so, need to be removed and professionally cleaned (this has become common, as well as repeatable depending on...

    2016 Xenon Headlight auto leveling issue or not ? (right hand only)

    Perhaps, but would need a Ross-Tech interface and VAG-COM/VCDS auto-scan for in depth diagnostics. If you don't have that yourself, then have a look on our ASN VCDS Map for someone nearby. Even if no fault, maybe a software/coding/adaptation issue, if all is well there and no related faults on...
