my 2.7t cuts out at 4k, o2 sensor ?
Hey guys I just bought an a6 2.7t 6spd, I have had an a6 and an a4 before but never a turbo car so im a little new to this.Well any way I bought the car yesterday and im having a problem with it, when I get on it it cuts out around 4k rpms it feels like a fuel cut but then it sputters and try and then cuts again.Its weird no check engein light but i hooked up a scanner and it gives me the p1131 code which after doind some research I found is an o2 sensor would that be causing this or something any help would be greatly apreciated thanks in advace.

So I replaced the o2 sensor, that was the only code it was throwing o2 sensor (bank 2 sensor 2) after repacing it it did the same thing (cutting out at 3-4k rpms ) I was told to unplug the mass air flow sensor and it would put it to default maps. When I did so the problem went away but you can tell its in a safe mode ie low bost runs like a dog. So my mechanic says to replace the mass air flow sensor, I do and still the same thing. Any ideas I feel like im just gussing in the dark at this point

Ross Tech supplies an excellent scan software and adaptor system called earlier
VAG-COM and then later VCDS for VAG-COM Diagnostic System. Generic
auto parts store scan tools typically can not scan for manufacturer specific fault codes of which for Audi there are many.

No, you buy the software and adapter from Ross Tech and install it in your personnel computer. Or go to the VAG-COM forum and look for VAG-COM owners near you to scan your car for free or for a nominal fee.
