Hi Guys, update!
I took the battery tray out, cleaned up the earth wire connections on all points with a wire brush!
The spark I got when connecting the negative terminal again was huge, where as before it was tiny! I’m hoping not to jinx it but 36 hours and no issues yet...
I think I’ve...
Dead annoying! I’m going to check the bottom of the battery tray, looking at a few threads there is a main earth which causes issues below the tray! If not I’ll see if anything is loose around the ecu.
Yeah the one with the stop start pal. Sorry to be a donut, where is the ECU on a 2010 1.4TFSi?
I think it is an earth problem, everything else seem sweet!
Apparently there is a ground wire underneath the battery box going to the gearbox. I will check this is securely fastened and update when I have done this!
I’ve also disconnected the battery and put it back on. The problem goes away for a little bit (let it warm up to 90 degrees static) then comes back when I take the car for a drive, which makes me think there’s a loose earth somewhere...
Never had to jump start it mate. All earth wires in engine bay are secured too. The battery voltage is fine too!
Tried to clear it but it re appears straight away. Fans come on 5/10 seconds from turning engine on and idle does go a bit higher.
I don’t know where any other earth wires could...
Hi guys! Update:
My VAG com says this error code:-
01598 Drive Battery voltage
011 Open Circuit
Seeing all the bits online, it could be as simple as a break in the cable running to the alternator or a loose earth by the jack point.
I’ll keep you all posted how this goes!
Thanks all again

Hi bud, do you have any idea where this sensor is? Nobody seems to know on this engine
Diagnostics is saying faulty temp sensor, but I’ve changed it 3 times, 2 from Euro car parts non genuine and fitted genuine part from Audi today. I still have the problem
Hi guys,
I have a 2010 1.4TFSi. Both radiator fans come on at full speed even when the engine is cold.
the fans come on after switching the engine on, about 5/10 seconds later the Revs slightly increase and a warning comes on the dash saying stop start is out of order.
