[shufti]

hi guys

i own a 2000 a6 avant 1.8T which has devoloped a misfiring fault. it generally drives on average at 30mph max with my foot to the floor with intermittent bursts of power that last no more than a couple of seconds.

can anyone help me in locating the problem, i can't afford to give it to audi so will try and replace the relevant parts myself once i know what is causing the problem.....

i've had suggestions of the maf filter or coil pack that could be causing this but these were suggested before i done the scan... i was able to arrange a vag-com scan today and this is what come back........

vag com - faults found......

i called audi with the details of the main relay fault (17925 - main relay (j271) electrical malfunction - P1517) i thought that replacing this would be as good a place to start but after calling 3 dealers nobody could tell me what relay this is! anyone out there know????

thanks

Hi there,
Its the Motronic current supply relay (J271) that your looking for.
Its located in engine compartment, front left, in plenum chamber, near
brake master cylinder.
The relay your looking for is the top right one.

I've got a file that shows you the location of this. If you want this PM me with your email address.
