Audi A5 TFSI rough idle, misfires

Hello, I have a problem with my personal car, an Audi A5 1.8 TFSI, MY 2008, CABD engine. Bought the car in August 2018, took out the engine and rebuilt it. I wasn't the one doing the job, only assisted when I had time. At first it had a hardly noticeable misfire, but we just accepted it as it was ru...

Re: Ruler settings not showing

Wow. Right on spot. Thank you! Which setting does Picoscope require for this feature, because the PC is a little old and I prefer using classic theme so that visual effects don't eat up resources? I do have the "Adjust for best performance" ticked in system settings, but I prefer the simple classic ...

Ruler settings not showing

Hello. I saw in demonstrational videos and guides that one can set the number of rulers, like here, in the compression testing tutorial: https://www.picoauto.com/images/uploads/case-studies/Partition_rulers.jpg I pulled out the 2 rulers from the side, but when I go to ruler settings, it's emtpy. Now...

Re: Audi A6 BLB engine 2.0 TDI vibration

Dear Steve,

Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures. 2 exhaust valves on cyl #3 were bent and the piston head had signs of damage caused by the little pieces from the turbocharger.

Thank you again for the amazing help!

Take care,
Rudolf

Re: Audi A6 BLB engine 2.0 TDI vibration

Dear Steve, I've been trying to recreate the problem, but the formula works now. It seems that I was tired and must've made some mistakes. :oops: Apologies. In the meanwhile, the valves that were damaged, have been changed, the car is up and running and I'm testing it on the road after submitting th...

Re: Audi A6 BLB engine 2.0 TDI vibration

Dead Steve, In the end, I decided to take off the cylinder head and then I found the reason for the low compression in cyl #3. I have found traces of damage on the piston's head, which were piece of my turbocharger left over from 3 months ago, when we last repaired everything. Even though I washed t...

Re: Audi A6 BLB engine 2.0 TDI vibration

Hello Steve, I have compared the crankshaft sensor waveform to the Audi SSP waveform and indeed it didn't have the right form. I had a bad electrical contact. Today, I did a compression test with a manometer. The result: -cyl #1: 25 bar -cyl #2: 25 bar -cyl #3: 18 bar -cyl #4: 25 bar The measurement...

Re: Audi A6 BLB engine 2.0 TDI vibration

Dead Steve. The cylinder head was rebuilt, because 3 months ago, my turbocharger gave up and pieces of it, got into the combustion chamber. The injectors were sent and tested on a bench and they said that injector #4 is faulty and it got refurbished. I wanted to make the test since you asked for it,...
