Hi

My Audi is sick
I had a look at the engine ecu and it was flooded with icy water
The ecu itself is dry but the relays were under water I took them apart and sprayed with wd 40 and a blast of the hairdryer and managed to get the car started again
Broken cable on one relay fixed

Now the car drives for a bit and then it looses the accelerator or goes into limp mode I guess

Vag readout gives the following faults
17996 p1588 - 35 - 10
17552 p1144 - 35-00

The MAF fault is because I took the plug out to see it the car would start and didnt replace it yet

Anybody know what this is please

17996 P1588 Engine mount solenoid valves Open circuit.

Many thanks in advance a beer awaits you upstairs for looking:beerchug:

A faulty engine mount, the right hand one if I remember rightly but it could be either side.

Many Thanks
Bear with me and shout if I sound stupid but is this a fault that is worth getting looked or do you reckon its chasing ghosts.

All the symptoms have cured and the car runs fine

Why apart from fault reports would you have a solenoid on the engine mounts and could it be a faulty solenoid is it an expensive job to replace one?

Im still stuck with 1 fault code but I believe its been there for ages

17931 crash signal from airbag Intermittent

I dont know whether to chase this or not

Many thanks again for your time

The engine mount is active and is tuned to reduce engine vibrations but it is only a refinement issue.
