On the 2016-2017 Audi TTS, audi TSB 2051384/1 applies to 2016-2017 TTS vehicles with the 2.0 TFSI CYFB engine when P030000, P030100, P030200, P030300 and/or P030400 misfire DTCs are recorded under extreme conditions within 30 seconds after cold start, across all cylinders at the same time in the 2,000-3,000 rpm range, while no actual misfire can be felt. Audi attributes that exact pattern to ECM software. The bulletin does not establish intake-valve carbon as the cause of general rough idle, power loss or misfires and does not support scheduled walnut blasting, a catch can or an “Italian tuneup.”
Common Symptoms
MIL after an extreme-condition cold start
Simultaneous cylinder-misfire DTCs within 30 seconds of startup
No misfire felt while the DTCs are recorded
How to Fix
Confirm the exact cold-start timing, simultaneous-cylinder DTC pattern, absence of a felt misfire, CYFB engine and installed ECM software before using this bulletin. When applicable, an Audi-capable workshop updates ECM J623 from software part number 8S0906259C version 0001 to version 0004 or higher using SVM action 01A190, then clears the DTCs. A felt misfire, a different timing or RPM pattern, a different engine/software combination or a returning concern requires normal diagnosis rather than carbon cleaning by assumption.
On the 2016 Audi TTS, audi TSB 2042539/4 applies only to 2016 TTS vehicles equipped with Audi magnetic ride when a rumbling noise is heard from the rear over very uneven roads or potholes. Audi identifies the rear shock mounts, not leaking magnetic dampers, shaft seals, magnetorheological fluid, Sport-mode use or an across-generation damper-life defect, as the cause of this exact complaint. Audi technical training further gates the mount change to vehicles originally equipped with mount 8S0 513 353.
Common Symptoms
Rear rumbling over very uneven roads or potholes
How to Fix
First reproduce the noise, verify that it comes from the rear shock mounts and confirm that the vehicle was originally equipped with mount 8S0 513 353. Only when those gates are satisfied, remove both rear shock assemblies and replace both mounts with 8V0 513 353 according to Audi workshop instructions, adapt the suspension control position and test drive to confirm the repair. If the installed mount does not match, continue Audi diagnosis. Do not replace magnetic dampers or convert the vehicle to coilovers from this noise alone.
