Hello everyone,
I own a 2012 RS3, and since one week I have the exhaust valve stuck open.
Although many here on the forum lock it open on purpose I prefer to have the option to open it only when it is in sport mode.
I've already tried to change the solenoid but nothing. I tested the solenoid and actually opens and closes correctly.
If I bypass the solenoid and connect the two tubes the valve closes correctly, so I could exclude both the valve and the vacuum pump.
It seems that the signal does not arrive from the ecu, but testing the connector gives me 14volts, and if I click the Sport button it changes to 11volts,
but despite this, once I plug the connector the solenoid does not open.
I just can't understand where the problem comes from, plus with the obd scan it doesn't give any error.
Is there a fuse somewhere? the vacuum tube goes to the engine bay, but the cables?
Does anyone have an idea?
TNX
