    2011 a4 quattro b8, no crank, no start !!!!!!

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Looking for some help with my b8. I bought an a4 quattro, guy was delivering the car and it just powered down on the highway and ended up being towed. Battery seemed low wouldn't crank, said service oil, service due, service stabilitytrak, parking brake malfunction. I scanned it using just a basic scan tool, threw a p000A, and a p0011 code. I've changed the battery still no crank, changed the camshaft position sensor still no crank, replaced the vvt adjustment magnet, still no crank.

    My question is will these cause I no crank? It's a one click so I know it's getting the power to the starter, just not powering the starter.

    I've watched a red lots about relays so I decided to replace all of them, still no crank.

    sounds like balance shafts seized. and now like burned out starter.

    I just bought a breaker bar to manually hand crank, I've red some insights on maf sensor failures can cause it to stall out and throw the service stabilitrak / parking brake malfunction. Going to try to manually crank by hand and if it's not seized then replace the maf sensor. I am kind of new to the audi world and after buying the car, I'm not so sure I bought the right model and year.

    I'm just hoping it's a faulting starter, and not a seized motor. Also to mention both fobs died at the same time. I got a good deal on the car it was bought from auction and the guy didn't mean to bid on it.

    Couple of questions:
    1. Did the seller DRIVE it to you?
    2. Have you called him to ask "what did YOU do the last time this happened to you?"
    3. How far, fast and long did you drive it with "oil warning" showing before it...stopped....(seized?)
    Inquiring minds need to know.
