Re: HELP - URQ - Dead, Alive, Dead, Alive, Currently Dead

URQ seems to be Alive once again.

It certainly was a Fuel problem, We traced it back to the Fuel Pump
Solenoid, were still not 100% as to whether the Solenoid is dodgy or if its
just a bad connection where it plugs into the base of the fuse box. Is their
a PCB inside the base of the fuse box which could be on its way out ?, If
so, is this a common part on older Audi's and not unique to URQ's ?.

For good measure I also bunged in a can of quality injector cleaner.

If its any use to anyone I have got about 20 pages of Audi Fuel Injection
servicing information, scanned and saved in a TIF format. I can send it to
anyone that wants it.
