Yesterday I noticed the check engine light was still on after start. It remained on after several starts, engine ran fine. A couple of weeks ago I bought a Vag-Com and did a base line scan and had noticed that there was an intermittent engine fault that had occurred five times. When I scanned it today it showed that it had occurred six times. Here is the fault:
1 Fault Found:
005078 - Cylinder 3 Internal Pressure Sensor: Implausible Signal
P13D6 - 000 - - - Intermittent
Freeze Frame:
Fault Status: 00100000
Fault Priority: 2
Fault Frequency: 6
Mileage: 4184 km
Time Indication: 0
Date: 2002.14.24
Time: 04:48:37
Freeze Frame:
RPM: 1449 /min
Speed: 6.0 km/h
Bin. Bits: 00001010
Absolute Pres.: 68.0 bar
(no units): 9.60
Ign. Timing: 0.0 °BTDC
(no units): 17.60
The check engine light did not return after the scan. I gave the car to the dealer and they noted the fault and are going to swap glow plugs between the cylinder with the fault and another to see if it follows the plug. Apparently the pressure sensor is integral with the glow plug. They sent me off in a loaner.
