Just thought I'd let you guys know , the light came back on straight on the first drive after arriving back for the garage. I've now also had chance to have a quick look round the housing of the ear and throttle body. There is a rather large amount of oil underneath the egr and throttle bodies. So I took the intake pipe off the throttle body and there was quite a bit of oil in there, although I did think it's more than it should, this is my first owned diesel car, and I haven't seen any drastic oil burn. I think it's likely to be a failed egr sensor/body, probably down to the mixture of the coke from the exhaust and the oil from the pre-charge engine rebreather. Do you guys have any thoughts? Also, is there anyone around the Buxton, Derbyshire area that has a vagcom cable I could borrow for a few days? Cheers, Rob

Hi All. I am new to the forums, so I apologise if this doesn't read too well, but looking forward to helping people out in the future. I have a 2009 A4 2.0 TDi S-line 170ps 6-speed manual Start/Stop - Current mileage 134500 (NOT QUATTRO) Previously, I had a problem with a failed DFP sensor, which cost me £50 by the roadside, nearly 2.5 years ago. (Just after I had it) Whilst on my home on Saturday, I had the Emissions Control Light come on again. So, after the information i had from the VW Audi RAC guy who attended last time, I decided I would not risk driving it so I wouldn't risk clogging the DPF, just in case the same sensor had become clogged or failed. However, I have had the car plugged in at the garage today (my old VAGCOM cable I had wont talk with my car) and it has thrown up a number of error codes on the intake side. This came as a kind of relief that the DPF isn't dead. The car has been running fine the last few weeks and has been driven over 1000 miles in the last 2 weeks, mostly motorway driving. Servicing is done on a long life service, as and when required with castrol edge oil. Air filter was replaced on the last service. Fuel filter was last replaced on the previous service. I have looked up the codes (detailed below) and wondered if any of you guys could shed any light on it. The garage has cleared the codes and advised they will re-check when it goes in for new brakes on Friday.

Which is slowly dirty and dirty (not easy to clean), and loses slowly (!) Functionality, somewhat irregular course and loss of ability as a result. The functionality can be tested by using [01 engine] a log, [meas.blocks-08], group 003 (3rd gear, floored by 1700-4000rpm)]. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I appreciate you taking the time to look at this for me. :P As a side note, have any of you had issues with wear on the drive shafts? I have had 2 inner cv's done this year and the outer on the O/S is now knocking. :( Cheers, Rob.
