S6 c6 5.2 V10 - Misfires HELP!

Hello ALL!

I could really do with some support from you guys.

Vehicle:
Audi S6 C6 2006 5.2 V10 (UK RHD)

Issue:
Car was driving fine until i stopped at a junction and it developed a nasty misfire, it felt like i had lost a bunch of cylinders. No warning signs, it just happened instantly.
Also noticed that the LPFP no longer primes when opening the drivers door, it has always primed before, however when key is inserted and ignition is turned on it does prime.
Car is misfiring violently and will not idle unless i keep my foot on the gas pedal. Due to this I’m not really able to collect any live data.
However if i give a pedal full it does respond at higher rpm.

Things i have done recently:
Carbon clean
fuel filter
new battery
front crank oil seal
both valve cover gaskets
x1 MAF (still waiting for the 2nd)
x10 Bosch coil packs
Spark plugs changed within last 12mths.
Oil filter housing orings
Throttle body gaskets
Inlet manifold gasket
Checked as many relays as i can find including the ones under the ECU’s.
Checked fuel pump fuse (Behind cover passenger side dash).

I have done a scan and the following has been found.

Hope somebody out there can support as im out of my depth with this one!
Thanks in advance

Heyy Rich long time no see I see you are in a hiccup. Are you sure you checked all the relays and fuses that are under the steering wheel and that are in the engine bay.

My car did the same thing that yours is doing but a while ago. Basically one of the high pressure fuel pumps kept blowing the fuse or was it a relay I’m pretty sure it was a fuse. Whenever that pump was in i had lost communication and steering angle sensor and all that with a blown fuse.

You said you checked everything so maybe that other stuff on the codes is a separate issue that maybe the pump isn’t causing

I’m trying to remember but it kept blowing the communication fuse that was in the engine bay

I never really solved it until i just went you know what I’ll change the shit and i was right. i changed both of them and everything was fine and when I put one of the old ones back in all those problems came back. Car was misfiring and steering angle codes and lost communication codes and instantly blew the fuse

Since you are saying that the high pressure pump isn’t making the priming noise it could possibly be the cause of the problem

I think there’s a way on ross tech to see fuel pressure going through there but i’m not sure

I’m pretty sure it’s the pump in your case if you haven’t changed it before

Fuel rail pressure you should be able to see in channel 140 on engine 1 & engine 2 modules. Could give you a incline whether they are operating properly. Judging by the fact the idle is terrible/failing, and responsive at higher RPM, it sounds like a severe vacuum leak. I would check all hoses and such, and maybe check PCV for a huge crack. Its a quick and free check:)

Hello, thank you for your reply.
I forgot to mention i have just recently changed the PCV so hopefully rule that one out.
Started the car earlier and managed to quickly get some live data whilst it was running.
I have no idea if the number are correct but there is a difference in the MAF readings.
10. Mass Air Flow 2.97 & 1.72
11. Throttle position 11.0% & 11.8%
23. Fuel Rail Pressure 3380 kpa & 3370 kpa

Does this shed any light on possible causes?

I am new to all of this and even newer using measuring blocks, would you recommend any other live data?

Thanks in advance
Rich

Hey, how are you doing?
Yes never a dull moment owning a S6!
I have reconfirmed fuses and relays and all looks good.
Live data from MAF looks different between them, not sure if they are correct or what they should be reading, any ides on that?
Seem to be going round in circles and getting nowhere fast…

Fuel pressure seems to be fine, the variance in MAF readings seems strange indeed, wouldnt expect more than ±1% differance there. If the MAF is going wonky, it will feed bad data to ECM, which would corrupt the ECMS calculations of air/fuel ratios, which could indeed cause these misfires/rough conditions. However, it is possible that the MAF is actually still functional, which means this variation comes from somewhere. Potentially the throttle valves. I would recommend starting with a quick&free check there, before jumping the gun on a new MAF sensor. Get a friend/camera, and check that the valves are operating as expected, and symmetrical. If a valve is not operating as expected, it could cause the engine to suck in extra air, causing the MAF readings variation, and the vacuum leak symptoms. Could also be a good idea to compare the MAF readings to eachother, taken on a few different RPM levels, see if there is consitency in the variation.

Rich did you ever get this sorted out?

Hi, not really. Still limping along. Strangely enough the car now when I drive will pull itself along without foot on the throttle, its almost driverless! I have spoken to a few knowledgeable people local to me and I have a few last attempts to sort it, fingers crossed…

Hi man, I got the exact same issue. Did you solve yours? br-
