Help!
I had a 2001 cashmeregray 2.7t tip.
2 month ago i went through a bush and crushed into a tree.
The estimation was 13k and these are the parts that was included in the estimation
hood, bumper both fenders, bottom engine cover, dashboard, both airbags and both side mirrors. Now my car is almost done repairing....however, now i have engine light and abs light comming on and the insurance company says they are not a direct result of the accident.
My claim representative says that, secondary injector failure from the engine is not the direct result of the accident. Do any of you guys know where the secondary injector is placed?
How would I be able to explain my insurance guy that running through the bush @ 40 caused secondary injector failure and abs failure?
I told him the bush had torn my bottom engine cover, then he told me that audi cars are all roadtested that bush can't damage the engine. I am so reluctant. Help!!

Re: Doesnt sound like its related to your accident, sorry.
CarbonLORD thanks for your time,
Would you mind giving me a breif reasoning? I am not pretty ready to through in 2k for this unexpected failures?
Are these failures, secondary injectors and abs failures are just ordinary failures?

While I agree with the others that a bush shouldn't have caused those failures.....
...it is a strange coincidence that both lights came on only after the repair.
What parts aside from sheet metal were replaced? I would imagine that many engine/brake parts were either replaced or removed for the repair - perhaps it wasn't properly reassembled.....
Good luck

The ABS warning could be due to a damaged wheel speed sensor....
or wirong to it whihc would be arguably realted to the accident.
The secondary injector issue could be caused by damaged wiring, again related to the accident. I would ask a dealer to have a look to see if there is any visible causes.

Get the codes and somebody may have some suggestions but for ABS check...
the fuse, it is a common problem that causes the light to come on. It is also possible that a wheel sensor (or wire that leads to the sensor) was damaged in the accident, as others have mentioned.

The secondary air pump is triggered by the coolant sender on the coolant .....
pipe which connects the rear of both heads on under the pipe from the MAF.
These fail regularly so it may be worth just fitting a new one and for you, in the US, they are very cheap - about $4 or so. Buy a new seal and the retaining clip at the same time though.
