  • Edit: a new relay fixed the problem and the car started right up. Finally found my ecm relay location. It's 3 layers deep under the tcm, under the ecm in the ecm box just below the windshield on the drivers side.

    Great video bro, very informative. I had my car recoded at after a transmission swap at a local car tech. Everything worked fine until i decided to wash the car one day and seen my drivers side footwell full of water. I freaked out when I saw the water was coming down from under the steering wheel along some cables. When I looked at mu ecu box I realized it had some screws missing and I assumed the water came from there. I ended up spending the whole day drying the footwell. The guy even left the windshield wiper screw cap in the engine bay which clogged up one of the draining holes which created a pool of water around the battery and brake booster. The day after I was so scared to start the car up but I did and it started but ran kinda rough with the rpms dropping. I plan on getting it diagnosed and I want to take the whole box apart to see what the deal is.

    I had the electric draw problem. The electric fans run through one of those relays. I can't remember which relay but it stay closed and kept my fan running with car off and drained my battery. After I wire brushed the sockets and put in new relays, the fans turned off and the electrical draw issue was solved. Also, the SAI began working lol. I still need to replace my cover but at least one per year I open the box to make sure it isn't accumulating moister and rust.

    @russellp73 Question - did you do anything to try to clean up the relay socket, other than spraying with contact cleaner? I pulled my relays to find the same corroded mess.
    Tip to others - if you haven't already replaced them, check all the relays under here. My Audi's been in sunny Southern California for all but the first 2 years of it's life, and my relays were just as bad as this one. Knowing this area is prone to corrosion, while you're checking the relays, apply a smear of dielectric grease to all the terminals as a preventative measure

    Was getting Code P0688 and this was the fix even though I had just replaced this relay last year and my ecu box is sealed tight. The code also lead me to check the wires going to coil packs and fuel injectors, you may have to cut the rubber at the point of the connection to find the wires underneath are all bare and touching each other which may be blowing fuses.

      @@javiangray944 I would need more info about your problem, but yes I would replace that relay too. If you have any codes it would be helpful. You can use any code reader for basic troubleshooting codes. Without anymore info I would say rent a fuel pressure tester from Autozone and get a spark tester. Testing for fuel and spark is where you wanna start. Also check your engine management fuses inside the car.

    2007 Audi A4 Quattro - Same terrible design. Water in the compartment. First Round killed relay that always starter to engage based on the transmission being in Park... took a long time to find the issue. (thought it was the start at first, did not waste time and money on that). So replaced the first relay. Worked fine for 4 months then ... cranked over and no start. Traced it to No power to fuel pump. The fuel pump relay was operational but still no fuel. So disassembled that compartment as far as It can be taken apart. The ground wire Rotted from the water. So after another long process fixed the connection on the Fuel pump relay. Also inspected all other wires in that area. WHAT a TERRIBLE design. Hard to get to you many Break the covers as they do not take off the windshield wipers and remove that plastic cowling. If you Audi does start one day, it could be water in the ECM BOX. Dont start with the expensive starter.

I did pop the clutch because it’s a manual six speed it ran for a few seconds then died if you have any clue let me know I’m trying an idea that I seen on CZcams to hook a hot wire from the hot terminal of your battery to the starter and seeing if it’ll start.

    With this blown was it not starting the vehicle a lot? I've looking into picking up an a4 1.8t and a few of them are saying they have fuel pump issues. I'm now wondering how common this issue is and if it's actually this and not the fuel pump. Any thoughts?

    • @russellp73
      @russellp73  Před 5 lety

      I bought it not starting. It started once and ran shitty. Then it never started again until I found this. I'd say take some engine starting fluid with you. If it's only the fuel pump, it should start on some spray. If it never even attempts to start on spray, then the ignition is out for some reason and the relay could be one of them.

      Has to be a main battery cable going into the fuse box that feeds into the interior. Try testing all the fuses under the hood. Look for burnt wires. I don't have the car anymore but I fdi have a 00 A6. I just don't have the wires memorized right now. From the positive post there should be 2 cables. 1 goes to the alternator / starter. The other goes to the main fuse panel under the hood, then to the interior

    Quick question, I have an 08 Audi A4 O realize it is a little different than your vehicle in the video. My "ECM" light turned on and is having starting issues and losing power, the relay "219" in your video says its a fan relay when i research 219 relay... My question is if I purchase an ECM relay would it be in the same location? I'm guessing thats the issue because upon researching on forums it seems to be that ECM relay.

    • @russellp73
      @russellp73  Před 4 lety

    • @russellp73
      @russellp73  Před 7 lety

      Ash Arias well it needs power to the ecm which is the relay. It needs spark from the ecm so check the wiring at each ignition coil. I hear the wire insulation rots off. Google no start issues and read some articles. There's too much to put here. Also you need fuel. So spray it with starting fluid and crank. If it runs for a few seconds and shuts off, you know 2 things. 1 you have spark, 2 you don't have fuel. If you spray it and it won't start, you don't have spark. That's either a coil issue or the ecm doesn't have power which is the relay in this vid.

      russellp73 i have scanned all the codes but im not getting any codes that would cause this problem (i think). I got one fault on cooling fan (short to ground) and a fault on throttle valve but that moves as it should. I am starting to think that its the crank shaft sensor that is bad even tho there is no fault present

    • @russellp73
      @russellp73  Před 4 lety

      My cooling fan would not shut off when that relay was bad. Something in it controls the ecu and the coolonig fan. Or the ecu controls the fan and because the ecu was getting iraddic or low voltage, the fan would run. Will it start on spray start? You need, 1-spark, 2- good fuel. I stress good fuel because I've had a recent bad fuel problem and I've heard of diesel contamination from others. And 3- timing. If spray start starts it, then you have spark and no fuel. Check to see if you have spark and also see if the injectors are pulsing. Most auto parts stores rent noid lights kits.

    • @russellp73
      @russellp73  Před 4 lety

      You can also open the fuel pump relay and see if it moves when you crank the engine. Then you know it's getting signal to supply fuel. If it doesn't move, you can activate it by pressing the terminals and listening for the fuel pump to run, then you know the pump is actually running also.

    I'm having problems after I changed my timing belt on my 1997 3.7L A8 it cranks but won't start it has fuel and compression it's not getting any spark all transmission lights are lit up and my fan was coming on with the ignition do you think there are relays like this under it's ecu its in the same spot

    • @russellp73
      @russellp73  Před 5 lety

      Hard to say. Did you just do timing, as in not disturb anything else? Is the timing right and not disturbed while doing the job. Maybe a cam sensor was not plugged in? But it should still start. I've never worked on the 3.7. Not sure where all the components are. Are there any codes stored now? Crank sensor should be plugged into the rest of the harness at the firewall. If it's undone, the engine will not start.

      @@russellp73 yes we did timing belt and water pump as the seal on the old water pump was leaking coolant. We used the proper audi tools in the back of the engine to hold timing and set it perfectly and it returns to the same spot after turning the engine over. Cam sensor and crank sensor resistance all check out ok all ignition coils test ok. My father and I are at a loss with what to do.

      @@MarshallSambell which engine? Are you working on a 1-8 turbo? How have you confirmed no spark? The fastest way to see if you have spark is spray some starting fluid into the air filter and if it is a turbo remember it's going to take some time to get that starting fluid through the turbo ducting the intercooler and up to the engine before it will fire

      Try reading this and make sure you didn't miss anything. I don't know what to tell you, except confirm timing marks. The tools you used locate the cams so they are in time. There are no timing marks on them. The crank should be held in time with a crank locking bolt. Other than that, check all plugs that may have been undone. Also, what do you mean all the trans lights are lit. PRNDL? GEAR Indicator lights?

      If you can jump it with another battery, but it won't start on its own, then it's not the starter. The starter starts the car. The battery seems weak and with an additional battery and cables, it starts. Sounds like a battery unless you have a bad alternator. Is the battery light on when it's running? Do you have a voltmeter on the dash? What does it read? Running voltage should be at minimum 13.5 volts.

      Ed Rivera. Spray it with spray start and see if it starts or tries to start. Then you know you at least have spark. If you have spark, then test for voltage at the fuel pump. There's an access panel in the trunk. If there's voltage there, it's the pump. If no voltage, then you are missing power to that system which could be the ecu, ecu relay, fuel pump relay, various fuses.

      tarks dazz check all your fuses especially #7 for the abs. It feeds other fuses. Also spray some starting fluid in it and see if it will run for a second. If it does run then the ecu is doing what it's supposed to and the problem is in the fuel system. Checking for voltage at the fuel pump will confirm a bad fuel pump.
