Engine
Divert air control in overrun
To avoid pumping the exhaust gas
turbochargers when a sudden transition from
high load to overrun is made, two divert air
valves are used.
The Motronic also activates the
two pneumatic divert air valves by
means of
an
electrical changeover
valve, the divert air valve for
turbocharger N249.
Advantage:
•
Controlled opening of the
divert air valves reduces the
noise level in the induction
tract and reduces fuel
consumption.
The divert air valve N249, in combination with
the vacuum reservoir, enables the divert air
valves to operate independently of the intake
manifold pressure.
The system is designed in such a way that the
pneumatic divert air valves continue to be
opened by the intake manifold pressure if the
electrically actuated divert air valve N249 fails.

Vacuum in intake manifold:
Non-return valve 1 open. Fuel vapours return
to intake manifold.
charge pressure in intake manifold:
Non-return valve 2 open. Fuel vapours return
upstream of exhaust gas turbocharger.
ACF system
Integrated in the lines of the ACF systems are
the solenoid valve for activated charcoal
canister N80 and two non-return valves.
The engine control unit, assisted by solenoid
valve N80, regulates the return rate of the fuel
vapours from the ACF canister.
The Motronic operates the solenoid valve
cyclically using a pulse duty cycle.
The non-return valves control the return of fuel
vapours, depending on operating state.

Engine
The crankcase breather ...
...comprises a distributor piece, a pressure
limiting valve, a non-return valve and the
associated hoses.
The oil vapours and “blow-by“ gases from the
cylinder heads and the crankcase converge in
the distributor piece.
The pressure limiting valve and the non-return
valve control the return of these vapours and
gases to the engine, depending on the intake
manifold pressure.
Vacuum in intake manifold:
The oil vapours and “blow-by“ gases return
via the non-return valve in the intake manifold.
charge pressure in intake manifold:
The oil vapours and “blow-by“ gases return
via the pressure limiting valve in the air
distributor.The pressure limiting valve limits the vacuum
in the crankcase. If the vacuum in the
crankcase exceeds a defined value, the
diaphragm is drawn over the connection
against the force of the spring and closes the
connection. The valve is designed in such a
way that it allows a small quantity to pass
through when closed. This prevents the engine
oil being drawn into the intake tract and has no
adverse effects on engine breathing.

The term “blow-by“ gases refers to
the gases which escape from the

Subsystems of the Motronic
Making allowance for efficiency and the
emissions standards, the engine control unit
coordinates the external and internal requests
and meets them by adjusting the available
control variables accordingly.
Torque-oriented engine
management
The Motronic ME 7.1 has a torque-
oriented functional structure.
This is made possible by the new
electronic accelerator function.

Subsystems of the Motronic
Electrically actuated throttle
valve (electronic accelerator)
With the Motronic ME 7.1, Audi is
using an electrically actuated
throttle valve for the first time.
There is no longer any need for a
mechanical accelerator cable
between the accelerator and
throttle valve. This has been
replaced by an electronic control
system (drive-by-wire).
The system comprises the following
components:
• Accelerator position sender
• Engine control unit
• throttle valve control part
Accelerator position sender
Safety module
Throttle valve control
part J338
The accelerator position sender records the
accelerator pedal angle and transfers it to the
engine control unit.
The engine control unit adjusts the throttle
valve by means of an electric motor. A
continuous stream of feedback signals on the
position of the throttle valve is sent to the
engine control unit.
Extensive security measures in hardware and
software format - such as twin senders, safety
module and self-monitoring computer
architecture - are integrated in the electronic
accelerator .

The electronic accelerator controls the engine
output electronically and, over and above
intake-air control, offers the advantage that
functions such as idling speed control, cruise
control or engine governing can be executed
easily and comfortably.
.
The throttle valve can be opened regardless of
the accelerator position, and this serves to
reduce throttle losses.
The ideal combination of throttle valve cross-
section and charge pressure produce the
necessary torque.
In this way, the throttle valve can be opened
fully while the accelerator pedal has not been
fully depressed.With electronic accelerator, much improved
emissions and higher fuel economy are
achieved in specific load states.
Over and above this, any accelerator
characteristic can be programmed, e.g.
gradual acceleration when driving at low
speed.
The electronic accelerator is used for reducing
and increasing torque and does not adversely
affect exhaust emissions.
