    I really like the way you go about thinking things through, and explaining how you get to your conclusions. This video saved me about $1000 because you set me on a path to troubleshoot and figure out what was wrong with my car on my own. 2007 Audi A4 2.0T, took it to a local reputable shop because of the P2295 code, and 8 other seemingly unrelated codes. It's my 2nd vehicle so I told them no rush. They didn't even look at it until week 9. After 10 weeks, they told me my high pressure fuel pump is dead. Car is in limp mode and can't accelerate past 30 mph, and it would be $1000 parts/labor to fix. I paid $265 for their diagnosis. I took the car back because I would do the fuel pump install myself now that the troubleshooting was done. That was until I stumbled across your video one morning over some coffee. Something just wasn't right about that shop, so I ended up feeling like I didn't trust what they were saying. Long story short, you sent me down a path where I ended up going into the ECU area on the driver side to look at fuses and relays. I even ripped the dash off at the steering wheel to look at fuses and relays behind the wheel. The ECU cover had a slight break in it, near the screw that is hardest to get out. That screw had been broken off at the head, and the shaft was stuck down in the hole. So my partially breached ECU cover, was only held on by 4 of 5 screws. There was a little corrosion on top of the ECU unit metal case itself, but nothing too crazy at first glance. The shop knew this, because I brought it to them with the ECU cover off and asked them to put it back on because I didn't have the tool to remove the driver side wiper blade to get the windshield cowl up high enough. They didn't put it back on for me. They knew the cover was off and there were signs of corrosion. I had taken the cover off prior to bringing it to them to check for chewed wires, because it was originally thought that I had rodent damage to wires causing the 9 engine codes. Anyways, they knew the ECU cover had issues, they knew the cover was off, and they should also have known that the fuel pump relay was in there too. I tore that area apart when I got the car home and after watching this video. Took out all the relays, and found one 614 relay to be heavily corroded. Did a test on it for the audible "click" by putting a 9V battery on it. No click. Relay dead. Didn't feel like waiting to order a cheap 614 relay, so went down to the Audi dealer and bought an oem relay for $47 that day. It was now a 644 relay. Came home, cleaned out the area with plastic safe electronics cleaner. Used those GUM ortho dental brushes to get into the hard to reach areas. Put the new relay in, and the car came back to life instantly. All 9 engine codes cleared immediately. Car no longer in limp mode. I've driven it 70 miles since, and it's perfectly fine. We all get help from youtube videos for all different things, but my man you straight up saved me a grand. This was a few weeks ago. Been meaning to drop you a few lines and show some love. You just helped me with replacing my inner and outer tie rods too the other night with that $20 tool you use to break the inner free. Thank you very much.

    I had same problem with 2295 on 2007 audi a6
    Hesitation and miss fire.
    As you said I went into that fuse box and found out relay was the problem.
    Now it runs so powerful and fantastic
    Thanks very much

      @keep4th What fuse box and what relay? The 614 relay inside the ECU compartment under the hood? Which 614? I think there's 2 in there. There are 2 in mine. I have a 2295 on a 2007 Audi A4 2.0T. A repair shop had my car for 10 weeks. They didn't work on it til the 9th week, and told me my High Pressure Fuel Pump is dead. Replace and the 2295, plus 8 other error codes will go away. I don't trust them anymore so I took the car back. Trying to figure it out on my own.

    Thanks in advance for the help.

      @@aliaghaei268 When you changed the high pressure fuel pump, did you get a used one or a new one? If you have a used one - you likely have an issue with your N276 Valve (Which is screwed in to the top of the high pressure fuel pump). Check the connector to make sure it connected and not damaged and if it is not damaged you may have a bad N276 valve.
