Steve Q Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Hi, this is the overview of your code error. possible an air leak if the manifold has been removed or a leaking hose, i'd be checking all the hoses etc for tightness to start with then working from there for leaks . if all ok then go to next items. 16555/P0171/000369 - Fuel Trim; Bank 1: System Too Lean Possible Causes Mass Air Flow Sensor (G70) defective Intake System Leak(s) Possible Solutions Check Mass Air Flow Sensor (G70) Check Fuel Pressure Regulation Check Fuel Pump Check Injectors Check Intake System for Leaks Check Exhaust System for Leaks Check Secondary Air System for Leaks Check Vacuum Pipes for Leaks also this . P0171 Audi Description With the Air/Fuel Mixture Ratio Self-Learning Control, the actual mixture ratio can be brought closely to the theoretical mixture ratio based on the mixture ratio feedback signal from the heated oxygen sensors 1. The Engine Control Module (ECM) calculates the necessary compensation to correct the offset between the actual and the theoretical ratios. In case the amount of the compensation value is extremely large (The actual mixture ratio is too lean.), the ECM judges the condition as the fuel injection system malfunction and light up the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) (2 trip detection logic). IT may seem mad but has the MAF sensor plug been refitted properly, also worth a check just to eliminate connection issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
