Check engine

[christy1999]

Hi everyone, I got my first Audi S3 2014 the other and did a launch with launch control, straight after the engine check light came on (it’s not flashing just on) and was wondering if it happened to anyone else or if anyone has advice

Plus is it common for the auto stop to malfunction then start working again

Thanks

A trip to the dealer or a good indy mechanic is your best bet.

Was there not limits to how many times you can launch a dsg box on the pfl?
Might not be relevant to your problems though.

I don't know about launch control, but the auto stop may decide not to cut out if there is a power demand on the battery such as air-con is on or, heater blowing or you have just started and voltage is a bit low.

The fault code “engine control module disabled”, “crank shaft position-camshaft position correlation blank 1 sensor A”, and “a camshaft position (bank 1) timing over-advanced or system performance” are the faults listed

Any help or knowledge of this?

Crank shaft / camshaft errors most likely to be a stretched timing chain or failed positioning magnetic sensors.

”engine control module disabled” or control unit disabled is normally immobiliser related.

More likely the latter

If you have breakdown cover call them out and see what they say! If they say tow it to the garage ASAP, have an indy address ready!

So, what was outcome in the end?

 

[christy1999]

Turns out the timing chains needed to be replaced once that was done there was no more check engine light and the engine was running smooth
