Audi A6 Allroad C5 Suspension Drops Sagging Issue

Diagnosing an Audi A6 Allroad Quattro with a dropped suspension problem. I locate a burnt Self-Leveling System Fuse S110 40A and a malfunctioning J403 relay for suspension compressor level control system. This relay fails along with the compressor and need to be replaced together. If you replace your suspension compressor on a Audi A6 Allroad C5 it is imperative that you replace the J403 relay for the suspension compressor. Also if your suspension compressor has failed, there is a good chance the S110 fuse also is bad and needs to be replaced. Please share an update about your failed suspension on Audi A6 Allroad C5, thanks.

Audi A4 2.0T P0171 System Too Lean P2187 P2279

This video will help you diagnose code P0171, P2187 and P2279 on an Audi A4 with a 2.0T engine. This may be one cause of your issue but P0171 may refer to a lot of issues. In my case it was a bit easier to diagnose since I could not remove the oil cap while the car was running narrowing down the issue to a crankcase ventilation problem. I replaced the crankcase vent valve and the issue was fixed. It is especially hard to diagnose a P0171 with a generic scanner since in my case when using a dealer level tool the codes were completely different, the stored codes were P2187 – 008583 Bank 1 System too Lean at Idle and P2279 – 008825 Leak in Air Intake System. Please share an update on your diagnostics, thanks.
