Audi S4 IAT Sensor Failure Causing Power Loss

Recently had similar IAT sensor issues on my 2006 Audi A4 2.0T. The symptoms matched exactly, sluggish acceleration, rough idle, and constant check engine light. The intake air temperature readings were inconsistent, causing the engine management system to run rich fuel mixtures. The air sensor replacement was straightforward but critical. A faulty IAT sensor can lead to serious engine issues if left unchecked, potentially damaging the catalytic converter or causing excessive fuel consumption. Main things to note about IAT sensor problems: Incorrect air-fuel mixture causes performance issues, Engine runs rich to compensate for false readings, Can trigger multiple error codes, Usually requires complete sensor replacement The fix resolved all symptoms immediately. The engine ran smoother, idle stabilized, and power was fully restored. Worth checking the wiring harness too, as connection issues can mimic a bad sensor. Would strongly recommend getting this addressed by a qualified shop. While not the most expensive repair, proper diagnosis is crucial to avoid replacement of wrong parts.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Had almost identical symptoms last year. The IAT sensor replacement fixed everything, and the car runs great now with correct temperature readings. The engine performance and idle issues completely disappeared after the repair. Would you mind sharing what the fix cost at your shop? I paid around 280 Euro for parts and labor, but prices seem to vary quite a bit. Also curious if you have had any other temperature sensor related problems since the repair? My car diagnostics have been clean for months now.

Had the IAT sensor replaced last month after confirming it was faulty, total cost was 155 Euro including parts and labor. Since fixing the intake air temperature sensor, everything has been running perfectly. Zero engine issues or error codes showing up in diagnostics. The repair solved all the problems completely, smooth idle, proper engine response, and accurate temperature readings. The air sensor readings are now consistent and the engine management system is working as intended. Unlike some other repairs, this fix has proven to be a permanent solution. Getting this addressed by a competent mechanic made all the difference. When temperature sensors fail they can cause multiple problems, but once properly diagnosed and fixed, these issues typically dont return. My experience suggests the 155 Euro cost was worth every cent for the reliable fix.

Just got back from the mechanic and wanted to close this thread with my experience. Found a reputable shop that specializes in engine issues, what a difference compared to my last repair attempt. Mechanic confirmed the faulty IAT sensor right away with their diagnostic tool. The whole job took about an hour and cost 190 Euro total. They also checked the surrounding wiring and intake air system at no extra charge. The repair went smoothly and the car runs like new again. No more temperature sensor alerts or rough idle problems. Even my fuel economy has improved since the fix. Really glad I asked here first, saved me from another potential misdiagnosis. For anyone searching later with similar symptoms: a proper diagnosis makes all the difference. My engine is running perfectly now and all diagnostic codes are clear. Worth every cent to get it done right.
