Hello,

I repeatedly find the following error in the engine control unit (ECU):

"Der schnelle braune Fuchs springt über den faulen Hund."
Address 01: Engine Label file: RKS\03G-906-018-BMN.lbl
Part number SW: 03G 906 018 CT, HW: 03G 906 018 CT.
Component: R4 2.0l PPD1.2 1182
Revision: --H32--- Serial Number: VWZBZ0F0518112
Encoding: 0000072
Operating number: WSC 42331 141 82319

Sure, here is the translation of the text from German to English:

"1 error found:"
005748 - Data bus drive: implausible message from the instrument cluster.
P1674 - 008 - Implausible signal - Intermittent.
Environmental conditions:
Error status: 00001000
Error priority: 0
Error frequency: 1
Lost Count: 40
Mileage: 24565 km
Time: 0
Date: 2000.00.00
Time: 19:03:45

Environmental conditions:
Speed: 0 RPM.
Torque: 144.0 Nm
Speed: 0.0 km/h
0.00%
Voltage: 12.99 V
Binary value: 11100100
Torque: 1016.0 Nm

Readiness: Not Available.

If there is a fault, the engine will noticeably have less power. The error doesn't always occur, but as far as I can tell, it only happens when I start the engine immediately, i.e., directly in gear 2.

Sure, here's the translation:

"Addendum:"

I had a software update installed on my car today by a friendly mechanic.
Now, this error is not appearing on the MSG (Main System Gateway), but on the AI (Artificial Intelligence) control unit.

Address 17: Combination Instrument
Label file: RKS\1K0-920-xxx-17.lbl
Part number SW: 1K0 920 863 B, Hardware number: 1K0 920 863 B.
Component: COMBINATION INSTRUMENT VN4 8212
Revision: V0007000 Serial Number: VWZBZ0F0518112
Encoding: 0007103
Operating number: WSC 01287 785 00200

Sure, here is the translation of the text from German to English:

"1 error found:"
01314 - Engine Control Unit.
004 - No signal/communication - Sporadically.
Environmental conditions:
Error status: 00100100
Error priority: 5
Error frequency: 1
Lost Count: 132
Mileage: 25501 km
Time: 0
Date: 2000.00.00
Time: 15:11:54

Could it be that AI is broken?

Hello.

Try connecting a different engine control unit (ECU) to see if it resolves the issue.
Best regards.
Olli.

I'm not sure if that's a good idea. If I do that, I'll not only have one error, but 50 other errors in the memory, and there's a chance the engine won't even start. Furthermore, I also don't have a way to obtain a suitable MSG (message) for testing.

It's possible that AI is broken?

Speculation: To me, it sounds more like a loose connection on the CAN bus between the Message System Gateway (MSG) and the instrument cluster (KI).

Guste.
