Technical Service Bulletin • Misfires (example: DTC P0300 and P030x). • Lean fuel system (example: DTC P0171, P0174, P1128, P1130, P1136, and P1138). • Air/fuel ratio imbalance (example: DTC P219C00, P219D00, P219E00, P219F00, P21A000 or P21A100). Technical Background • Condition may be caused by use of contaminated gasoline. • Condition may be caused by use of gasoline with a low content of deposit control additives. For MY16-MY19 3.0TFSI EVO (CREC) equipped vehicles: Because of deviations in the country-specific fuel quality deposits can form in the injectors preventing their complete closure. After switching off the vehicle fuel can get into the lower intake manifold or cylinder which makes the mixture too rich for the subsequent start. Do not replace injectors for this issue. Production Solution Not applicable. Service For MY16-MY19 3.0TFSI EVO (CREC) equipped vehicles, and If deposits in the injector is suspected: Use the multi-purpose additive for gasoline according to the guidelines to remove any deposits on the low and high pressure injector and to ensure their tight closure. Do not replace injectors for this issue. Use additive first then continue with further diagnosis if the issue persists. If use of contaminated gasoline is suspected: Consider advising the customer to change gasoline source (brand/gas station). Contaminated gasoline may exhibit one or more of the following characteristics: • May have unique color and odor. • May contain undissolved water. • May contain sediments and suspended matter. • May appear cloudy and (after settling) may show signs of separation. If use of gasoline with a low content of deposit control additives is suspected: Recommend to the customer the exclusive use of TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline, which provides improved deposit control performance.
