replaced the n80 valve - no CEL, smoother idle, no vibrations when in D etc

[Sprode]

Why am I getting called out on this? I didn't start the thread, nor am I confused on the fix. I fixed mine a couple months ago by basically the same procedure you recommend. Scanned it (myself), researched, replaced. I am just trying to help others with the same issue since it's such an easy fix

I did not mean to insult you, and it IS good info. Thanks for posting it up. You did what many are incapable of doing.

No worries as I wasn't insulted, just confused.

I bought a scanner a while back because the autozone at my old house stopped doing free scans. Turned out to be one of the best auto tool investments I've made in a while, and it was only like $60 IIRC. Makes researching a CEL so much easier.

No difference at all.

^ lame

Also is great of clearing codes... Autozone as a company decided to stop clearing codes, so those cheap scanners work perfectly.

[tankdeer]

^ yup. Does that too. A handy little tool for sure.

My N80 was acting up but also one of the line would not longer stayed clipped to the camshaft cover so I replaced it as well
Here is the DIY I posted a while ago

I just installed the N80 at work and drove home. It took me 15mins for the whole install, hardest part was taking off the old clamps.

Thus far, the only result I can verify is better fuel mileage (1L/100km less than before), which is more than enough to justify $18 and 15mins of my lunch break.

Thanks OP, you just helped me keep my money in my pocket!

I just have a cheapo one from Autozone. Works perfectly fine

Recently had cel stating gas cap was open, then idle was too rich. Also after filling up gas tank the car would be hard to start. Replaced the N80 purge valve, reset the fault code and everything is working great- idle is smooth and very stable.

^+1, RossTech, more than just a scanner...

[AudiCVT]

Hey tankdeer which model scanner did you get from autozone and how much can the scanner do? Just read and clear codes?

I don't remember the model off the top of my head, but it's orange. And yeah, it's a base model. read and clear is about all it does - but that's all I wanted it for.

This is what I have... I got it before I got my Audi. Works well with all 96+ ODBII vehicles:

[tankdeer]

Pretty similar to mine.

[BladesBravo]

No difference at all.

How many miles are on your car?
Coming up on 57k and if this would get rid, or slow down, the "old age steering wheel shake" i'm in.

[B72.0T]

Right now I'm at 51K.

I'm glad you were able to find a cheapo scanner that works. I first brought one of those orange scanners that said ODBII compatible but it didn't work. Returned it and ended up getting the good grade flea bay cable from the same supplier. Cost me about $90 but it worked great and got some more insight into the car. Not as good as Ross tech but it works.

[joeygriebel]

has anybody else had success with replacing the n80 valve and smoothing the idle out?

For being this inexpensive ill do it this, or next, weekend (pending dealer stock) and report back

[magillkirk]

I called autozone and they could not cross reference this part? 06E906517A - I guess I will have to order it in from ecs or primepartssuperstore...
Does anyone know what the equivalent would be?

[deeznuts]

i have the juttering problem occassionally when coming to a stop, but only after heavy spirited driving...just called town audi in englewood- its $16..going to pick it up today and install it just as a safe guard

[deeznuts]

im experiencing the jittering too when coming to a stop but only after i do heavily spirited driving...no CEL, but town audi in englewood has these for $16 so gonna change mine today just for the fuck of it

[BladesBravo]

No difference at all.

x2, the small vibrations are still there after startup when car is put in drive. It may be me but before I could heard other parts inside the cabin shaking when I first got into gear and now I think they have stopped. But for $20.04 its worth being able to say that I replaced the "Tankentlueftungsventill".

Replaced mine today along with latest revision PCV and noticed a difference right away! Engine runs alot smoother and a big difference is noticed in acceleration, the 1st to 3rd gear shifts are ALOT smoother. Very good results!!!

[NorcalPB]

Would this be a good bang for your buck "fix" if you arent getting a CEL, but notice the tranny shifts rough at low rpms sometimes?

Dude autozone isn't going to have something like that?

[airbornerifleman]

Do a PCV failure test.

Thanks for the feedback! I think I am going to give it a try as well as replace the pcv valve

At under $20 can't hurt to try. And mine was instock so you shouldn't have to wait.

[babybepeezy]

Is there a DIY for this?

[seal66]

question for anyone. on the stock part what way does the arrow on it face? does it face towards the front of car or towards the firewall? kinda wondering since my stock one was throwing away and i have a replacement but its the esctuning one. let me know thanks

[80sGuy]

^^The placement is pretty much stationary, you place the device in to its seating and connect the tubes. There is no other way you can do wrong with this.

[DrZEUS]

Is this the N80?

http://www.autopartsway.ca/PartList..../pagenum1/tabS

[seal66]

well the one I had ordered has the sensor on the grille side and the arrow is on the firewall side pointing towards grille. I may be mistaken and have to look again

[80sGuy]

That's the one.

[ridin]

What am I missing? Trying to replace mine...these hoses will not budge at all. Am I just being too weak or is there some trick?
