P1588 on AUDI A3

[ZIZZOU]

hi
i have audi A3 2.0TDI with DTC P1588
that mean :Engine mount solenoid valves Short to ground
please,some one can show me where can i find this solenoid on engine?
thank you

[TECH]

model year?
any number like N** for the valve?

[ZIZZOU]

i have an other dtc;P3289
esitronic say:P3289: unit injector cylindre12 short to ground
strange DTC!!!!

[ZIZZOU]

i had found what is Engine mount solenoid valves
some one can tel me what's P3289: unit injector cylindre12
in VAG DTC they speak about lambda sensor
is it true?

[oldford]

Esitronic has the wrong text, at least for VAG. It's not a generic trouble code in EOBD/OBD2.
VAG lists it as: Linear Oxygen sensor Exhaust bank 4 / pump current, short to ground
I doubt you have this problem, so I have to doubt the number of the code. What are you using to read it?

[ZIZZOU]

i use bosch KTS550 ,when i read dtc it give me DTC P1588

but when i read DTC with autocom it give:egr open circuit

who is wrong and who is right!!!
i had solved all the problemes for this car,and tomorrow i will flash the ecu with egr desactived file to solve this probleme and tuning of corse
this is the original dump read by MPPS:birthday:

[TECH]

I have see wrong description with KTS but not wrong fault number
I have never work with autocom to know!
did you check the blocks ?

[ZIZZOU]

what do you mean by blocks?
now,the car run perfect,but when drive we can resent vibration
it's like bad support engine,

[oldford]

P1588 - 17996 - Engine mount solenoid valves (N144) / (N145), Open circuit
P1495 - 17903 - Switch-Over Valve for EGR Cooler (N345), Open or Short to Ground

The P1588 makes sense to me. You had problems with the engine mount. Now where did that P3289 (i doubted so much) came from? Don't see it any more.

You never answered the question about the model year. Which model year is it?

[ZIZZOU]

hi oldford
it is audi A3 2.0TDI 140CV engine code BKD year 2003
today i have flashed the ECU with chiptuning file+EGR OFF
http://i43.servimg.com/u/f43/16/03/79/30/sans_t12.jpg
the result was wonderful,170CV confirmed
but ,i have always this DTC P1588 and we can resent always vibrations when driving
please oldford,i have serched this selenoid in all engine but i don't find it,can you show me where is it?

[oldford]

Just to make sure: I would try to read the codes with EOBD/OBD2. Even VCDS can do that for you. Maybe this model is allready EOBD compliant (assuming you're in Europe).
I am sorry, but I don't know where these solenoids are mounted.
Can't you follow the connection to the engine mount back to the solenoid?

[TECH]

N144 - Left electrohydraulic engine mounting solenoid valve
I thing that those mounts there is only at A4 A6...
A3 has not engine mount like this one

and what do you think about dtc read by bosch kts (P1588)
i have only one DTC in ecu ,and i have only one probleme "vibrations" not at idle,only when driving

[TECH]

I use only VCDS to read errors. Too many times with other multi brands tool i have see wrong description.
I realy can't help for that. I would check first the ecu error and then the "vibrations". Maybe there is no conection to both, but the "book" said first the error.
if you can have a secure error code I will try to help!

;)thank you m8

Hello
1) This engine is BKD engine, not AZV. BKD is known as the most problematic 2.0 16V PD ever.
2) I strongly recommend to use VCDS for Diagnose and actuator test. KTS is not very reliable on VAG and often gives false reports.
3) There are several updates for this BKD engine. Several problems solved but also new bugs have followed.
The history is:
03G906016G_5184 (1037368156)
03G906016G_5334 (1037368508) <- this one you have
03G906016G_5705 (1037369819)
03G906016G_7641 (1037377215)
03G906016G_9884 (1037390996)

The update 5705 was released in 24/09/2004, the latest update 9884 was released in 22/09/2007
So the car you are working on has not been serviced for almost 8 years now, since there were several recalls!!!!

4) Result: I recommend you check the car carefully for any defects and do all the missing softwareupdates before you finish your work.

thank you filecloud for all this useful informations
the client of A3 is gone,and i think that the vibration is not do to softwre ecu but mecanical probleme
as you can see the original file is 100% original
tomorrow,i have nissan qashqai 2.0 DCI for tuning
and other wonderful day my dear

[augustinbz]

you make tuning files?

[ZIZZOU]

it's the only think that i know do
