Hi there,

New to the forum. Driving for 30 years and had loads of VW diesels over that time (both diesel and turbo diesel)

My present car is a 2000 Audi A4 B5 (facelift) It's the 2.5 V6 TDI, 6 speed in dark blue. No problems at all at 157,000 miles.

My wife also drives a 2000 A4 (tho' a lesser petrol 1.8 model) with just 97000 miles on the clock.

It's hers that we've got a problem with. Engine management light came on last week with fault codes 17924 and 17545 (read on a cheapo ebay Chinese scanner) I cancelled these and it's running fine, but a week later the light came on again with 17545 and 16502.

Anyone know what these codes mean?

Also my mates A4 had a lot of water below the cowling because the drainage holes were blocked, the ecu was just sitting in a pool, it was the same 1.8 model.

Yes, it's a major problem. Make sure the drain holes beneath the battery and sides are clear otherwise you'll have a pool below the windshield.

Thanks for the answers.

I'm aware of the A4 water trap (both ours are dry) I've cancelled the fault codes for now and I'll see what happens in the next week or two.

Well I suspect a vac leak maybe on a pipe around the manifold some where and a coolant temp sensor.
