I had the car for over a year now and I am not very familiar with the mechanics of it since they don't make a repair manual for it. The car has a check engine light on, it is giving the code P1136. I replaced the MAF sensor when I bought the car so I don't know where to start looking. I know it was not a brand new one but it was a reman from AUDI. Any help on this would be really good!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for your time.

 

don't make a repair manual for it?

what the hell is that bentley cd i have down at the garage then?

Bentley publishers makes a manual on cd comparable to that of the dealer i think.

I don't have my list of codes handy, so i cant help you there, but there ARE manuals for the car.

 

I new about the CD manual but I was making reference to those you can easily get at any autozone/autopart stores for 16 bucks. Since you have the CD u think you could give me a hand?

 

P1136 17544 Long Term Fuel Trim Add.Fuel,Bank1 System too Lean

Exhaust system components removing and installing
Fuel injectors checking
Fuel pressure regulator and residual pressure checking
Fuel pump checking
Intake system for leaks (unmetered air) checking
Note
Secondary Air Injection (AIR) system components removing and installing

 

P1136 was caused by a vacuum leak in the pcv system (hoses under the intake manifold) on my car. Since you've already replaced the MAF recently, thats a good place to start. Get some starter fluid or carb cleaner and spray the vacuum hoses while the car is running and listen for a change in rpm's.

 

The thing that it only does it when you start the car and then it goes away. I have a boost gauge on the car so I can see that the vac drops some and then it goes away. These kind of issues are so hard to fix because it is not a constant so it is very hard to pin point the source of the problem. But I will be checking those hoses mentioned above thanks for the imput.

 

Will VAGCOM register any vac or boost irregularity? I know that it will not pinpoint or isolate the problem, but I am considering a turbo pressure test that I may just hold off on until I know the answer to this question...
