Nope, I have missfire on cyl 1 all the time at idle when im at operating temps and i sometimes get a code thrown but it will not set a CEL. Alot of codes will show up without a CEL.

I was joking about the wheel bearing.

The ICM is an Ignition Control module. Is on the top of your airbox with two plugs going to it on opposite sides and is shapped like an oval. Here is a pic

best way is to VAG the car if you dont have access to one look hereVAG Locator

 

haha...I feel dump...well i guess i'll just get one of those OBD II things and find out what the codes mean...right?....oh yea...couple of months ago i used one, and it said my cylinder #2 misfire...could this be the problem?

 

Kinda hard to say, normally if you have a misfire your engine will start but you will have a missfire and run a little rough, bouncy rpms. A good way to see if its your coil pack is to take cyl 2 coil and swap it with say cyl 4 and if cyl 2 missfire goes away and now cyl 4 missfires its your coilpack. Also could be the plugs for the missfire.

 

Hey...trailboss, Thanks for all of your advice...im going to check on it first thing tomorrow...and ill update you, on what i see....you guys are the best....thanks again

 

search audiworld to, there are alot of people there that know alot of stuff. Audiworld is the bible for audi's.

 

well, i use the code reader and i got only one code, but im pretty sure theres suppost to be more...because 2 months ago i had about 4 code and i never erase it....well the code i got today is P0118..., Also, i tried to start my car today, and it didnt wanna start until i hold it for about 20 sec's then it finally rumble and started.....PLeASE i need help...Could it be the ignition coils or i mean coilpack? any advice would help greatly! thanks

 

P0118 is your ECT sensor, has nothing to do with your car not starting. Get it VAG ed, it will probablly read more codes than the generic obd-II scanner. Pull a plug out and check them. Then id go for the ICM then the coilpacks.

 

wow...i just check the price on the ICM its about $350....I dont want to spend that much, unless thats the exact problems...any other cheaper places to get this ICM?

 

I just check one of the connector that goes the ICM and it look warn out a bit, like it been in heat for along period of time....
