    "Eating Alternators"

    When the shop replaced the metering valve they mentioned the plug was bad and they couldnt find a replacement plug end with at least 6" of wire on to splice in. Would you or anyone here know of a good source to get one with so they can splice it in. Temporarily they got it running by firmly...

    "Eating Alternators"

    Indy shops diagnosis: The metering valve at the top of the CP3 was seeping fuel through the plug end enough to eventually build up and drip into the alternator directly below the pump; fouling it out. The are replacing the Valeo alternator in the car with a Bosch unit and have a new metering...

    "Eating Alternators"

    The previous indy shop I was taking to was installing Valeo alternators. Took it to a new shop in hopes they have a different opinion.

    "Eating Alternators"

    Not sure if anyone else here can help without the car in front of you to diagnose but I thought I would give it a shot. My 2013 JSW has 107,000 miles and is on its third alternator. It was just replaced back in April and on a recent 1000 mile trip I had another incident. It started with the...

    Random High Idle

    Would that be a good place to start; monitoring the alternator load with vcds to try and determine what is going on? If so what measuring block should I watch?

    Random High Idle

    Is this normal to go under the voltage it thinks it should have or an issue with the alternator/battery?

    Random High Idle

    I should confirm with VCDS but I say fully warm due to it happening to me the other day while it was running for a good 30-45 minutes running errands around town and the ambient temp was 70-75 out.

    Random High Idle

    Hello, I am experiencing a random high idle situation. Normally it idles around 850-900 RPM but occasionally it will idle up to 1000-1100 RPM even though it is fully warmed up. The car has had the emissions equipment removed as it is not required in our area and a tune from Malone. Therefore...

    What did you do to your MkVI-A6 today?

    Had a check engine light pop on this morning for a fuel metering valve issue on my CP3 pump. Upon closer inspection it appears the sensor has a crack near where the plug meets the main body of the metering valve. I have a replacment metering valve on its way. Fingers crossed changing it solves...
