I have recently bought a 1999 A6 and when i bought the car and brought it GA i had to get an emissions test in order to transfer the title. Well when i got the test the system showed up with an error; the numbers are:
P0441,
P1136,
P1138,
P0455.

One other problem i realized was when i went to refill the tank i had a problem starting it and had to push the gas peddle to get it starting. Then out of curiosity turned the car off to try it again and see if it starts and with no problem it started and didn't do it again until the next time i got gas. Can it be related?

anyone please

 

Well,
P0441 - EVAP Emission Contr.Sys.Incorrect Purge Flow
P0455 - EVAP Emission Contr.Sys.(Gross Leak) Leak Detected
P1136 -Long Term Fuel Trim Add.Fuel,Bank1 System too Lean
P1138 - Long Term Fuel Trim Add.Fuel,Bank2 System too Lean

Here's the link. Very usful for whenever you have another code.

I have P1136 and P1138 myslef. I would appreciate if anyone could tell us where to start looking for the problem, what could be a suspect for the code.About the problem with pushing the pedal when starting. Maybe it isnt getting enough fuel or air because of a leak (P0455?) Maybe the starter is bad or dirty? I dont know just putting it out there as a guess. How many miles are on the car?

 

Get a VAGCom, reset the codes, and see what returns.....

Make sure the gas cap is on tight -- or get a new one.

GDET09 -- Why would you suspect the problem is due to a bad starter???

 

I agree with NH_USA i dont think it has anything to do with the starter. But if anyone knows anything please...

 

Idk my bad, I just kind of threw it up there. Thinking it had to do with starting. That was a pretty newb move of me.(im ashamed) Never really totally understood the starter though. Hope the codes could have helped somewhat.

 

its all good. i found a guy who used to work at vw and he is going to look at it. i will keep you guys posted

 

Check thegas cap!!!!!!!!!!

 

Probably your gas pump starting to go bad... I had the same symptoms. the good thing is that its fairly "easy" to do if your mechanically inclined. The pump is underneath the back seat... and if it ever doesnt start, take the back seat off and tap on it, should come on, but R&R it right away

just my experience though

 

awesome, thank you very much! How much does the part cost?

 

Hey i got the problem all taken care of. the problem was a part on the passenger side of the motor. The part cost $140 and the leak was a rotten hose so happy that it is fixed and it got rid of the problem starting after pumping gas. thank a lot hope this post helps someone in the future!
