Hi guys hope all is well. I purchase an Audi A4 1.8TFSI Multitronic 2010 yesterday and it struggled to start, was told it was just the battery but now after driving and plugging my OBDII in I think otherwise. Here is a video of me starting my car: And Here below are the error codes that came up, which one do you think could most likely be the cause of this and how much would it set me back? The car drives absolutely perfectly it doesn’t run rich or lean and no lost of power etc. Just difficult to start

Hey guys i have a code p 201500 com8ng up 8n my audi a4 b8 8k 2008 tfsi 1.8 liter i took my car to the machenic and he said something along of the lines of your car will never fail if u can handle the check engine light on i have replaced all fuses i have cleanned throttle body and all sensors i am worried i am going to do damage to my manifoild,i done the maf test and my car kept running when i pulled the sensor off but i did get all codes indicating that its working.i am new to audi and would appriciate anyones help..

 

With all those codes from different controllers, likely they're either old or you had a low-voltage condition (like trying to start for a long time with a weak battery). I'd try to clear them (the ones you can, anyway), and see if they come back. Your scanner should at least be able to clear the engine ones. If the battery seems fine after a drive, but is weak, say, the next morning, they it's likely going bad. It's also possible that the alternator is intermittent--works at high speed/highway and not at idle or stop-and-go. Check the battery voltage--should be ideally 12.6 V, but modern cars may be a bit less. With the engine idling, ideally it's close to 14V, but again modern cars cut out the alternator if charging isn't needed. And check/clean the battery terminals thought I doubt that's the issue--but it's an added burden on a weak battery.
If the battery is 3-4 years old, you may just want to replace it as a first step.

 

Hey thank you for ur reply there 8s nothing wrong wirong with my battery putting out 13volts..

 

Ive ordered a new gas cap and im going see if it gets r8d of light and maybe p201500 at the same time or im 8n for a new manifoild
