hi all,

i got a a4 avant 1.8 se 1998 and runs fine when cold (choke on) until it goes off (engine warms up) then it goes slugish on acceleration between 1500rpm and 3500rpm once past that rev range its ok but not brilliant.. anyway i plugged up the diagnostic lead and scanned for any probs and this is wat came up in VAG-COM.

17936 - Camshaft Timing Adj. Bank1 (N205): Open Circuit
P1528 - 35-00 - -

--------------------------------------------------------------------

i did a bit of searching on internet to find out wat it means,
apparently the code relates to

(throttle valve solenoid circuit malfunction).

but im not entirely sure if this is true or not, if it is the throttle valve solenoid could some one plzz tell me where i can find it on my car and also wat it looks like.

thanks
btw great forum

 

hi again

ive now found out that its not the (throttle valve solenoid circuit malfunction)

(N205): is actually the part number to (Inlet camshaft timing adjustment valve)
but i still dont know where it is on my car if any of you know where it is plzz let me know.

thx.

 

okay here goes.
i thought som1 might of been able to help me on here seeing how many users visit this forum but nevermind somtimes u just gotta sort things urself..

i found the n205 on my engine and all it needed was plugging in, ive not had the car long and obviously it has had some work done to the engine and they forgot to plugin the (Inlet camshaft timing adjustment valve) now its runnin smooth again no probs at all as good as new

end of**
