Diagnostics of malfunctions of knots and car systems
The description of diagnostics of electronic control systems and diagnostic codes are provided in the section of System of electric equipment of the engine.
In this Section the simplest scheme of clarification of the reasons of malfunctions and the refusals occurring in knots and systems of a vehicle is offered. Refusals and their possible reasons are broken into groups on the basis of the relation to certain components or car systems, such as the engine, cooling system, etc., besides, in the text references to Sections and Subsections concerning these problems are given.
Remember that the successful conclusion of search of causes of defect at all is not the black magic available to only skilled professional mechanics, and is defined by a combination of a certain knowledge and a patient, systematic approach to problem research. To move always follows from simple to difficult, to lead up each check to the logic end and to try not to pass the obvious facts – everyone can forget to fill fuel in a fuel tank or to leave for the night included lighting devices.
And at last, always it is necessary to try to make an accurate picture of development of malfunction and to undertake the corresponding steps on recurrence prevention. If refusal of electric equipment was the result of violation of quality of contact, check at the same time a condition of all other contacts and electric sockets of system. If the same safety lock several times in a row continues to fuse, there is no sense in its further replacement – it is necessary to try to find out a cause of failure. Remember that failure of a minor component can be a sign of violation of functioning of more important knot or the whole system.
Engine
If the engine is not started, it is necessary to analyse a situation. That the engine in general could be started, should be satisfied two main conditions. In cylinders should arrive fuel – an air mix, and on a spark plug the spark should be developed. Therefore, first, it is necessary to check, whether fuel moves. As thus it is necessary to operate, it is described in the section of the Power supply system and production of the fulfilled gases.
To define, whether the spark is developed, it is necessary to turn out all candles, to insert into tips and separately to put to weight. Remark: To exclude damage of the catalytic converter, it is necessary to exclude thus gasoline injection. For this purpose расстыкуйте shtekerny connection of injectors. If the spark is not present, define malfunction according to the section of System of electric equipment of the engine.
ATTENTION
Observe security measures at work with electronic system of ignition (the section of System of electric equipment of the engine).
Thus a tip or a cable of ignition do not hold hands, and use well isolated nippers. Ask the assistant to start the engine. If the spark does not slip, define malfunction being guided by the section of System of electric equipment of the engine.

Automatic transmission (AT)
ATTENTION In view of complexity of a design of AT complete diagnostics of its malfunctions and repair of components are inaccessible to qualification of the average amateur mechanic. At emergence of any, excellent from listed below problems of functioning of AT the car should be driven away for check and repair in a workshop of car-care center or representation office of the AUDI A3 company.
The common problems connected with functioning of the mechanism of switching
It is possible to carry the following to number of the refusals connected with violation of adjustment of draft of switching:
a) Start of the engine is possible at provisions of transmission, distinct from "R" (Parking) and “N” (Neutral).
b) Indications of the indicator of provision of transmission differ from really chosen transfer.
c) The car moves at the transmission established in the situation "R".
Make adjustment of draft of gear shifting |
Transmission revolves, is switched hardly, publishes extraneous noise or does not provide car movement at installation on one of lobbies or a reverse gear
| 1. There is a set of the possible reasons of the problems listed in heading, however under competence of the amateur mechanic one of them - the wrong level of transmission liquid gets only. |
| 2. Before driving away the car in a workshop of car-care center check level and a condition of transmission liquid (Chapter 1). Modify level according to requirements of Specifications or replace liquid together with the filter. If the situation was not corrected, address for the help to experts. |
Leakages of transmission liquid take place
| 1. AT liquid has dark red color. Traces of its leaks should not be confused to traces of impellent oil which can be demolished on a case of transmission by a running stream of air. |
2. For identification and localization of a source of leak first of all remove from a transmission boat all traces of dirt and greasing. Use a suitable obezzhirivatel and/or make steam cleaning. Then make on the car a short trip on small speed (that traces of leak did not communicate a running stream far from its source). Stop, поддомкратьте the car and by visual survey establish a leak source. More often as those act:
a) Pallet of a case of transmission: Tighten fixing bolts and/or replace pallet laying.
b) Tube of the gulf of liquid: Replace rubber consolidation in a place of an entrance of a tube in a transmission case.
c) Lines of transmission liquid: Tighten shtutserny connections or replace lines.
d) Ventilating tube: Transmission is overflowed and/or water got to it. |
