Hello guys, new to the forum; Trying to help a family member out with their 2007 audi a4 2.0T (B7). The following lights are on the dash- AirBag and check engine light, I plugged it in and got a P0011 code. A camshaft position (bank 1) timing over advanced. Car hasn't had any major work done on it. No other problems except for the oil burning and the Driver door harness thats been severed. Car idles fine, (takes awhile to warm up) but the car hasn't lost any power or significant acceleration. It is also overdue for a oil change. like 5-6K overdue from what I was told.. smh!

any help would be much appreciated, wouldn't want this to snowball into something more serious!

 

Camshaft Adjustment Valve 1, Checking

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

¤ Multimeter.
¤ Wiring diagram.
Test requirements

¤ Fuse (S282) fuse OK.
¤ Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) Power Supply Relay (J271) OK.
¤ Battery voltage at least 12.5 volts.
¤ All electrical consumers such as, lights and rear window defroster, switched off.
¤ Vehicles with automatic transmission, shift selector lever into position " P" or "N".
¤ A/C switched off.
¤ Ground (GND) connections between engine/transmission/chassis OK.
¤ Ignition switched off.
Test procedure

Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to => [ General Diagnosis ] See: Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview\General Diagnosis.
Remove engine cover - arrows -.







Start diagnosis

Disconnect Camshaft Adjustment Valve 1 (N205) electrical harness connector - 1 -.






Using a Multimeter, check the Camshaft Adjustment Valve 1 (N205) for resistance.







Specified value: 5.0 to 8.0 ohms (at approx. 20°C)

If the specified value was not obtained:

Replace the Camshaft Adjustment Valve 1 (N205 ). Refer to Fuel Injection and Ignition Repair Information.
If the specified value was obtained:

Checking voltage

Switch the ignition on.
Using a Multimeter, Check the Camshaft Adjustment Valve 1 (N205) electrical harness connector terminal 1 to Ground (GND) for voltage.
Switch the ignition off.
Specified value: battery voltage.

If the specified value was not obtained:

Check the Camshaft Adjustment Valve 1 (N205) electrical harness connector terminal 1 to the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) Power Supply Relay (J271) socket 2/87 for an open circuit, short circuit to Battery (+) or Ground (GND).
Check the wiring connection for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.
If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.
If the specified value was obtained:

Checking wiring

If the manufacturers test box is being used. Perform the following step.

Install the test box. Refer to Fuel Injection and Ignition Repair Information
If the manufacturers test box is not being used. Perform the following step.

Remove the Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623). Refer to => [ Engine Control Module, Replacing ] See: Engine Control Module\Service and Repair.
Using a Multimeter, Check the Camshaft Adjustment Valve 1 (N205) electrical harness connector terminal 2 to the Engine Control Module (ECM) electrical harness connector T60 terminal 20 for resistance.













Specified value: 1.5 ohms Max.

If the specified value was not obtained:

Check the wiring connection for an open circuit, short circuit to Battery (+) or Ground (GND).
Check the wiring connection for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.
If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.
If no malfunction is found in the wiring and voltage supply was OK:

Erase the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] See: Scan Tool Testing and Procedures\Diagnostic Modes\Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory.
Perform a road test to verify repair.
If the DTC does not return:

Repair complete, Generate readiness code. Refer to => [ Readiness Code ] See: Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes.

End of diagnosis.
If the DTC does return and no malfunction is detected in the wiring and voltage supply was not OK:

Replace the Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623 ). Refer to => [ Engine Control Module, Replacing ] See: Engine Control Module\Service and Repair.
Assembly is performed in the reverse of the removal.
Final procedures

After repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the mentioned sequence:

1. Check the DTC memory. => [ Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory ] See: Scan Tool Testing and Procedures\Diagnostic Modes\Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory.
2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] See: Scan Tool Testing and Procedures\Diagnostic Modes\Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory.
3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. => [ Readiness Code ] See: Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes.
End of diagnosis

 

thanks for your help 01 Avant!, i will definitely take a look at this tomorrow, from the look of things its possible it's a electrical problem that was probably caused by the severed drivers door harness. I hope thats the case, since that should be an easier fix than if it was something mechanically wrong with the engine etc..

 

no problem.
