Fault code 2221? 5k Tq
Hello Q-heads,
Well I knew it was going to be a good day when I was rolling down the
passengers window and it more or less fell into the door cavity-Enter laughing
and pointing fingers from the Audi Gods! Oh well, new regulator on its way as the
window was acting up anyway for a month. But the Gods didn't stop there.
While passing a Taurus SHO :-) I noticed the dreaded orange check engine light
come on and the immediate loss of boost back down to 9 psi as indicated on
my auxiliary boost guage. Another couple of runs from a dead stop yielded the
same problem with the light staying on at anything over 7 psi boost. BEFORE shutting the
engine off, I pulled the codes to reveal a 2221 which says: Vacuum hose to Pressure
Sensor in control unit-Culprit: Vacuum hose disconnected, leaking or plugged. After
searching for anything obvious like a disconnected hose, I have found nothing.
Could the problem be in the ECU itself? Is there a pressure sensor inside the ECU?
BTW, this is an IA stage II box that I've been trying out. I may put my TAP box back in
to see if the problem persists. Here's a wierd twist though- After shutting the car down
and running the car, I get full boost to 15 psi and no light? HUH? So it's definitely an
intermitant problem.
Anyone out there have the same problem or know
where I may turn to next? Any help would be greatly appreciated and just might keep
the Audi Gods off your back:-) TIA,
