I have an Audi A4 1.9 TDI 2003 model with 265.000 km and i've had no problems so far . But recently , an annoying (probably electrical) problem has occured . While everything works perfectly , the anti-spin light suddenly turns on and 1 of the car's cylinders stops working . The car has decreased acceleration and trembles constantly .When i restart the engine , everything works fine for some moments , but then the same problem occurs . Does anyone have the same problem ? Is there any possible solution to this ? please help if you know anything... Much appreciated .

 

ok so I don't know about your diesel problem with your cylinder, but I can tell you that the antispin light (I'm assumming is your traction control light) is normally your ABS sensor or something with your axle. If the light you're talking about is EPC then I have absolutely no idea where to begin. There's a few diesel guys here but they just show up here and there...

 

Well , by saying the "anti-spin" light , i mean that yellow light which turns on when you accelerate too much while steering and notifies you that the car will deccelerate to prevent spinning...It also turns on when there's an electrical problem , and the car needs service.. Well everytime i've tried to take it to an engineer , the car works perfectly and the man cannot find anything to fix.. Kinda a devilish coincidence ,don't you think ? I'll check if it's the ABS sensor or the EPC one and edit this post.. thanks for trying to help

 

Yeah the Anti-spin light you call it, we know is as the traction control light. That usually comes on with the ABS light when the sensor starts going bad, but the EPC is a bit different.

 

yeah sorry about that.. Anyway , it's the only light that's on , nothing else comes with it.. also does traction control include ESP ? cause it turns on when i activate the ESP too..It's not the EPC...What does it matter anyway ? the major problem is that one of the cylinders stops working , why does it happen and how do i fix it ? :S

 

ok the ESP is the traction control. I don't know about your cilynder. Can you pull the codes if you have any? normally they get stored in your ECU and you can pull them with a VAGcom.
