Notes on display groups 14 and 15:

  • ◆ The knock control is active from an engine load above 40 %.
  • ◆ The current ignition timing retardation is displayed when 40 % engine load is exceeded, if below 40 % the last value used will displayed as a constant.
  • ◆ If pinking is audible but ignition retardation is not noticeable, increase the revs to above 3500 rpm for 5 seconds to initiate the knock sensor fault recognition (diagnosis).

Notes continued:

  • ◆ If the ignition timing retardation of one cylinder deviates greatly from the others, the following faults are possible:
    - Loose sub-assemblies
    - Corrosion on the connector
    - Engine damage (e.g. oil being burnt due to defective piston)
  • ◆ If the ignition timing retardation is excessive on all cylinders the following faults are possible:
    - Corrosion on the connector
    - Knock sensor tightened to incorrect tightening torque (correct tightening torque is 20 Nm)
    - Wiring open circuit
    - Knock sensor defective
    - Loose sub-assemblies
    - Poor quality fuel (below 95 RON)

Notes on display group 16:

  • ◆ At high engine speeds the displayed signal voltage for the knock sensors can reach 5.1 Volt.
  • ◆ If there is more than 50 % difference between the smallest and largest knock sensor signal, the cause could be corrosion on the connector.

Notes on display group 18, display zone 4:

  • ◆ The Motronic control unit compares the air mass meter load signal with a load value that is calculated from the throttle valve angle and engine speed. The difference between the two values equates to the altitude correction value.
  • ◆ - 30 % correspond to an ambient pressure of approx. 700 mbar (30 % below 1000 mbar)
  • ◆ 15 % correspond to an ambient pressure of approx. 1150 mbar (15 % above 1000 mbar)

Notes on display group 19:

  • ◆ Due to the very short signals the retardation of the ignition timing is not always recognised and therefore not displayed on V.A.G. 1551/1552.
  • ◆ Checking ignition timing retardation during gear shift => Page 24-123

Notes on display group 21:

  • ◆ For a starting temperature above 15 °C (intake air temperature) the Lambda regulation will commence functioning when the probes are recognised as being operationally ready.
  • ◆ If the Lambda regulation is switched off the engine runs controlled by the engine map.

Note on all display zones:

If the specification still is not obtained after performing the matching: Check wiring for open and short circuits also the connectors for soiling and corrosion. Only when no wiring fault is found should the throttle valve control part be replaced.

Notes on display group 24:

  • ◆ To prevent engine damage the knock control must retard the ignition timing as soon as pinking is recognised.
  • ◆ Retarding the ignition will though increase the exhaust gas temperature. There is a danger that the catalyst will overheat.
  • ◆ To prevent this overheating, the mixture is enrichened to lower the exhaust gas temperature when at full load the sum retardation of approx. 10 °CA is reached.

  • ◆ Engine control unit is matched to throttle valve control unit when selecting display group 98 under function 04 "Basic setting". This adaption (matching) must always be carried out when another throttle valve control part (or another complete engine) or another engine control unit is fitted.
  • ◆ If the voltage supply is interrupted (battery disconnected) the adaption (matching) must be carried out again => Page 24-104 Procedure after voltage supply open circuit.
