History: About a year ago, my A6 had a timing chain guide failure. I pulled the engine and trans last May, and over the last year, saved to purchase all the required parts, do a valve job, all timing components, etc.

Finally, yesterday, all is back together. Hook up the battery, get in the car, turn the key....and....doesn't turn over. Display says to put in Park or Neutral. <sigh> Double check wiring at transmission, all connectors in the black boxes, etc. All is apparently well.

Tried the wife's key (mine had been in the ignition for a year), thinking maybe immobilizer. No deal. Hook up VCDS, scan below.

Any ideas on what to check?

Transmission is ZF 6 speed, code HLL.

Thanks,

Darryl Snover

0x05 access/start is not seeing the trans.

Check in VCDS advance measuring blocks for COM with other controllers including trans.

Check CAN gateway wiring twisted pair via wire diagrams and 0x19 module in advanced measuring values for COM.
Same for engine, ABS, and BCM.

Do a broadcast of ease of DTC's and go into each module to erase the DTC memory of any left with a fault the broadcast misses.

Recode....... Engine 0x01, Trans 0x02, ABS 0x03, Access/start 0x05, Central BCM 0x09, and Gateway0x19 to default then disconnect battery and reboot.

Check for codes and report back if wont see trans module.
Heads up!
I have seen people bend pins to the main connector for the trans causing an issue from bad alignment so inspect carefully.

Isolate ABS by unplugging to see if it is an issue on BUS an to prevent coding loss.

Thanks, Jack, for the speedy reply. I'll do the recoding, etc, as soon as the laptop battery is recharged (lol).

Meanwhile, I've verified the pins on the main trans connector aren't bend, no dirt, etc. All nice and clean. I might go ahead and double-check the pins on the bulkhead connectors (aside from already checking to ensure they were seated), since those had to be removed when I pulled the engine/trans assembly out.

Admittedly, although I've had VCDS for a couple of years, it was mostly so that I could do the brakes and such. I'll have to learn to use the advance blocks and such.

Thanks,

Darryl

Lots of other modules don't see the TCM. Have you verified power and ground at the TCM?

The TCM is located physically inside the transmission, from what my Bentley says. I'm trying to decipher the wiring diagram to see what pin(s) to check.....(goes to Bentley manual)...

OK, looking at the wiring diagrams, the most -likely- culprit is not getting voltage to the TCM (as you have said, Uwe), so first thing in the morning, I'll pull the bulkhead connector covers and do some probing with my multimeter, to see if I have voltage at D50 and B273. I -think- D50 is on the drivers side, a large red wire located on a stud. Fuse is in that box as well. (It's -got- to be something stupid I missed. :confused: Maybe a good nights sleep will help.)

Update: As I suspected, it was a stupid problem, and a good nights sleep gave some additional clarity. Based on the wiring diagrams, I checked pin 14 on the transmission plug with a multimeter, and there was 12 volts. Of course, I was checking against the frame. So, checked pin 14 with pin 13 (ground), and...nothing.

Duh. Although I had connected the ground wires to the studs in the engine bay, I didn't tighten them, thinking I would do that after I was sure the wiring harness was all back in place properly.

Tightened the grounds, and all is well.

Very satisfying that after one year, and several thousand dollars in parts, it started right up, sounds great, no misfires. Cleared codes, none come up, except the stability light, which will go away once the car is actually driven.

Now to fully load the suspension to tighten all of that up, bleed the power steering, finish charging the A/C, bleed the coolant, etc. Lot's of little things to button up completely. It's been a wonderful learning experience, and even though the timing chain setup really stinks to repair, I still admire the (over) engineering of the car. 164k miles, and looking forward to another 164k.

For those that care: The non-FSI Audi 4.2 in the 2004>2008 S4 and 2005>2008 A6 has some definite design problems in the timing chain guides. Specifically, the guides crack, and at least the passenger side tensioner guide has a tendency to shed its plastic with age, ejecting it into the exhaust cam sprocket. In my case, it caused the chain to skip a tooth, bringing the exhaust valves into contact with the pistons. For me, it was a valve job, head resurfacing, new timing components, lots of torque-to-yield bolts, lots of little o-rings and gaskets, and a lot of labor. But I still like the car, it was worth it.

Thanks very much Jack and Uwe. You both pointed me in the right direction. :cool:
