Audi A6 3.2 - Fuel Pump Replacement

[@tjanders9863]

I’m changing a pump in a 2006 Audi A4 3.2 Quattro. Your video is very well done. You enjoy life and you promote a happy lifestyle. The world needs more people like you!! I wish you continued journeys in your Audi. GODSPEED my brother!!!!

[@Kokouvia]

I appreciate your comment brother 😃

Great video brother. Appreciate how you even showed your struggles, which helps a lot of folks

[@RomanTrollanski]

11:30 yes... That's the players that I mentioned it to you about it on your previous video when you replaced the fuel line and you broke one of the tabs because you didn't had it at that time... I'm glad to see that I've contributed with something! :P

Oh yes you did. I added there pliers to my wish list on ECS Tuning thanks to the link you provided me. You made this possible bro. In fact I mentioned you in the description about this. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Hello my friend, my 3.2 fsi quattro 2008 gasoline A6 fuel pump started to fail. Error code showed Mechanical Malfunction P3043 Took it to workshop and they replaced the fuel pump, after driving home it started to fail a shutting down, error code now is Fuel Pump Circuit P3073 - 007 Electrical Malfunction Intermittrent After trying to use the coding basic settings it shows 00:05:28 Group 238 0.747 v 3.984 V What can I do?

[@Kokouvia]

Sorry about that. It is likely your new pump is dead too. Did they put the old fuel back in? Maybe it's what's killing the pump: bad fuel.

Great job man. It helped me a lot today doing the same in my audi a6 avant 4.2 Only I did not torque the plasting ring enough so I had a big leak of gasoline 😵‍💫

[@Kokouvia]

@donald6345 I appreciate. I am glad it was helpful. Sorry for the trouble.

[@headealer]

Hi Guys !!! Amazing video...y started also de adaptation...but i dont understanda how to stop it. I have to go to the same option and select off ?..or only drive until Stop.._>? ..Txz in advance !!!

[@Kokouvia]

You don't need to stop it. You can quit and disconnect the scanner a few minutes after starting the adaptation. Mine behaved the same way.

Hello sir, me again, workshop replaced twice the new fuel pump and also fuel control module, the car keep losing fuel pressure and shutdown, they erased the codes, apparently they cant run basic settings because they do not have the vagcom scanner. Could you suggest me another idea? Thank you sir

[@Kokouvia]

@@2024-x4o It is worth trying but I doubt it will fix that issue. I remember a friend with the A4 3.2 had a similar issue. He replaced the fuel pump in vain. I gave him my old high pressure fuel pump which he had his mechanic install and that fixed the problem.

[@2024-x4o]

@@Kokouvia alright sir, gonna tell them, thank you Do the high pressure pump shows codes? Or it will never advise?

[@familieverhoeve7127]

My car also takes 3-4 seconds to start, sometimes the second attempt on a cold engine. Warm engine starts in 1 second. I wonder, does the car have 1 or 2 crankshaft sensors ? I replaced the camshaftsensors and 1 crankshaftsensor, driverside. Replaced sparkplugs and coils but no improvement. Replaced the high pressure fuelpump, no improvement in starting. So, is there a second crankshaftsensor ? Or should I replace the fuelpump ?

[@Kokouvia]

Any fault codes? I showed the actual crankshaft position sensor in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJ_KqppnlrGij7s

[@familieverhoeve7127]

@@Kokouvia No fault codes. So, I am thinking sparkplugs or fuelpump. I ordered new spark plugs, maybe the ones I put in 6 months ago are the wrong ones. If new sparkplugs not fix the problem I might order a new fuelpump...unfortunately these are expensive.😪

[@khayazikhali9340]

Hi, i would like to know more about these pipes. I see a leak though it's very tiny drops. So where I stay the car touches the concrete everytime we going in or out of the parking. Under the passanger front door there are 3 pipes one is with the clamp. So they are plastic/ rubber connecting to a metallic coiled look like pipe, that's where the leak is

[@Kokouvia]

I don't understand. What is leaking?

[@khayazikhali9340]

@@Kokouvia it's leaking where two pipes are connected metal and rubber pipes, it looks like it's 3 fuel pipes underneath front passenger side.

[@Kokouvia]

@@khayazikhali9340 You probably damaged either fuel lines or/and brake fluid lines. This is not good 😕

[@RomanTrollanski]

I am wondering if a longer and longer cracking time especially at cold is why my Audi it's acting up like that... I have 210k with it, sometime in the morning takes up to 3 seconds cranking time to start, this behavior it's quite new and it's getting annoying. When the engine it's hot, no issues at all, starts like out from the factory. No error codes either, any thoughts?!

[@Kokouvia]

To be honest, I am not sure what it could be. With no codes, it is difficult to guess. The first thing I would blame would be the fuel pump starting to fail though but with no certitude. Do you hear it prime fuel when you open the driver's door or turn the ignition on when cold?

[@RomanTrollanski]

@@Kokouvia I do hear it, usually starts fine if the engine it's warm, and it does fine most of the time. Overnight if left, at start cranks up more than usual... Makes me think that it's loosing pressure in the system some place... I'll probably do the fuel pump and see where it goes...

[@nicolaelupascu9904]

Nice work buddy,I think I have the same issue as you,however I have to investigate first the fuse and relay but I don’t know where they are if you can help me with that will be much appreciated. I don’t know if it has anything to do with the fuel cut but before the car stop and don’t want to fire up just crank the oil light pressure comes on and the car stop working. I was thinking that there is a kind of safety thing that the computer stop the fuel if doesn’t receive the signal from the oil pressure sensor.

[@Kokouvia]

Thanks. The first thing to do would be to scan the car for faults. This will point you to the right direction. The fuel pump fuse is located on the passenger's side. It's the first one on the left in the bottom row. You can see me remove it in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnW0YWNsnbt0jKM at 5:25 The fuel pump control module is next to the fuel pump under the rear seat bench. I have shown it in this video.

[@nicolaelupascu9904]

@@Kokouvia the car doesn’t have any fault codes at all,just all of a sudden the car stalls and die fallowing by the engine oil light and from that point don’t want to start at all. I will check the fuel pump fuse and try to see if the fuel pump under the rear seats it’s working.

[@Kokouvia]

@@nicolaelupascu9904 What kind of scanner are you using? There has to be at least one engine fault code.

[@nicolaelupascu9904]

@@Kokouvia normal scanner which was working before and help me to identify the issues. Check the fuse pump today and it’s good,the pump it’s working if I power it straight from the battery and the car starts first time,there is no power coming to fuel pump and i am wondering if it’s any sensor that stop sending signal to the computer and the computer cut the power to the fuel pump. I am trying now to locate the fuel pump relay to see what’s going on in there. Thank you

My friend I filled the gasoline tank full in my A6 3.2 fsi 08, and the computer says I have 650 km, I saw you got around 900-1000km with the full fuel tank? Is this normal? 😢

650 km is good for in town driving. 1000 km or more is achievable when driving a very long distance and being very gentle with the gas pedal. You are fine 👍🏽

@@Kokouvia appreciate it so much! I didn't even look! Have an '05 A6 4.2l quattro and it's just not wanting to start. It's cranking starts for a good 5 seconds and dies. Computer said it was a crankshaft sensor error.. replaced both cam and crankshaft sensors, gave her new spark plugs and coils. She started right up sounded beautiful and died about 5 seconds again. Dumped that fuel filter out and it was just pure black tar substance... We're getting a new fuel filter Wednesday and Hoping this will fix it... If not, next down our list is fuel pump... any advice would be appreciated!

[@Kokouvia]

@@Armyvet12 I am not familiar with the 4.2L but as far as I know, a bad fuel pump would trigger a code which it is not so your fuel pump might be just fine. Crankshaft errors can suggest not a bad crankshaft or camshaft sensors but an engine timing issue. The engine would stop itself to prevent damage which might be happening. Did the same codes return after you changed the sensors?

[@Kokouvia]

@@RebeccaChamberss Thanks for confirming. Do you know when the fuel filter was last replaced? I would suggest replacing the fuel filter then run the fuel pump adaptation. It is Engine, Basic settings, Channel 238. It must be performed when the engine is running. I suggest doing your typical driving routine while the basic settings is running. A couple hours of driving should be enough. Note that the A/C will not work while the basic settings 238 is running. This should normally fix the issue. May you please try this and report back?
