Correct

If the vacuum actuator is leaking all the engine vacuum (non-referring to a manifold air leak), then you will remove the vacuum leak from the system. therefore the turbo can then use the vacuum to activate. With a vacuum leak the turbo cannot move = zero boost (Providing it is the actuator on...

you can remove the vacuum hose going to the intake manifold actuator and shove a screw into it to disable it.

You sit there at 70mph on the dot with no aggressive driving? or a third lane Michael Schumacher driver trying to get to the front of the non existent never ending queue to your destination?

You can simply use a 10a fuse. im sure you’ll only it for charging a phone or similar. That draws only a couple of amps at 12V if using PD 20W chargers

ATO piggy back fuse holders X2 needed (standard size) just need x2 of these and join the wire together

Need to fix this on my 2016. VCDS does log an error btw

She’s purring! How hard is it to replace one of the mounts. Driver side. Guy has just informed me he replaced both engine mounts with brand new parts. The one I disconnected for sure is dead…. Hmmmmmmmm So measuring with respect to engine ground inside the orange connector for the engine mount...

Lol first connector I removed and it’s gone from 0.2ohms tk 7.5k. this fuse helped stabiles the short reading to 0.2 ohms

Cheers I’ve just got the wheels off and got it on axle stands to check those first (the seller was an electrician and told me he had already replaced that as a one of the causes). None the less don’t trust someone else’s diagnosis since he failed to get it working again. I’ve got an online...

Thanks a lot for the explanation on how to use ELSA diagrams it's been very useful. With regards to problem 1 (short to ground) - I've found a solid ground to use for testing the fuse, and found it's a fluctuating short 0.1-0.5 ohms (after zeroing out the probes). it instantaneously blew the...

Amazing engineering by Audi. Just put everything onto a single 15A fuse:

I spotted the fuse convention was wrong between google and Elsa Actually chasing Fuse 5, the brown fuse has a 1.8ohm short on the output side (this could be normal considering it’s driving solenoids), but also the input side is only getting 3V… Any chance someone could explain what this random...

Thanks a lot did find a short to ground on this Fuse F8 so hoping to use your diagram to disconnect the connectors until it goes high impedance edit: do you know how to correlate the fuse numbers from your diagram to the Fuse 8. Is the naming convention matching.

I think I’m able to reduce the scope for now. need the diagram showing from the ECM —> Relay —> 15a Fuse —> this powers multiple things including Fuel pressure regulator / engine mount solenoid etc. This is the circuit I need to check for intermittent shorts.
