Hi all i did a scan on my a2 and it came up with 18076 cylinder 3 pump/injector valve -N242 electrical malfunction in circuit what is wrong with it
 
Its common for the injector wiring harness to break down over time because its submerged in oil. Its a relatively easy job to do for the home mechanic and there is a good how-to on the forum.

The wiring harness breaking down gets worse over time and will show poor running and various warning lights so unless its affecting the way the car is running I would let it develop.
 
Yep, that's an injector wiring harness issue. If the car isn't displaying any symptoms yet, they're in the pipeline. You may find that it intermittently starts running on two cylinders, and when it does, the whole instrument cluster will resemble a Christmas tree.
I've replaced the loom countless times for A2 owners. Normally, my electrical work doesn't involve me getting oily fingers, but this job is an exception!

Cheers,

Tom
