Hey everyone! A little one to keep the heads scratching, I was just driving along normally, car cut out and now won’t start.
I’ll Handbrake
ABS
ESP
Engine light all on

VCDS codes below, checked all fuses and all fault codes retern when cleared.

Before I go further, any common problems?
Rather worring being the last code in Engine ECU.

Many Thanks J

First question has to be is: Is it a standard car? followed by any additional alarm/immobiliser on it?

Hey, no additional alarm or immobiliser. Only mods is Re-Map and updated clutch which whee done around 20kmoles ago.
 
I had similar few weeks ago!

Car started but wouldn’t respond to throttle or able to drive!

Ended up with new ECU plus coolant bypass valve....

£2000 later

Hey Mike....

Thanks, but definitely didn’t want to hear that!

So yes it very berfly starts then stops and about a week ago I had a coolent bypass valve code logged, have done around 500miles since it was logged. So guessing the faulty coolent bypass valve is killing ECUs??? FML.

If you’ve got anymore info that’ll be great. Guessing it had to go to main dealer for programming etc?

Surprised it’s not more of a common problem.....

Cheers

I had coolant bypass valve on for a week or so!

Ended up coolant leaked from inside thermostat housing then down wires, that then was the cause of damage to ECU!

888 engine common issue with coolant leaks but Audi won’t call in recall but if you’ve got warranty get it to your dealer or get a policy ASAP

Arhhh ok, what a nightmare. It’s a 2014 with 30k, believed to be the original housing. And no warranty. Though taking out policy maybe a good idea...... ;) any perticlear company.....?!

I’ll get to apart tomorrow night and take a look.

Thanks very much on you input Mike.
