2003 Audi A4 1.8 Turbo starts and shuts off immediately

Asked by Rgil78 Mar 11, 2025 at 12:50 PM about the 2003 Audi A4 1.8T Turbo Sedan FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Help guys, My A4 starts and then shuts off immediately. It is throwing codes
for the MAF and camshaft sensors. I replaced the MAF, fuel filter, tested the
VVT solenoid to make sure it was working, the 219 relay since it runs those
things, and changed the oil. Still having the problem and still throwing the
codes. Thoughts?

Old European vehicles are money pits, so have the live data checked to see if anything is out of specs and if it is, then have those systems repaired first, then a computer reset and if things come back after the initial repairs. If it does, then you should be good to go until the next thing goes out and it will.

The code tells you where the problem is not what to replace, It still has to be diagnosed by a technician
