How to act if problems with NOx system are solved, the engine performs Stratified charge again, but in some conditions uneven run is noticed or 3104 error (uneven run, Stratified charge) is stored.
(1) Software upgrade of the existing release using ISTA P: The service data status ”Button designation: improve operational smoothness conversion” must be programmed via the ”conversation” path;
(2) Software upgrade using ISTA P;
(3) Software upgrade using winKFP (flashing of the correct software release, regardless of FR);
(4) Test of leaking injectors. The description here, here and here;
(5) Checking for misfire counters. Description here;
(6) Replacement of the ignition coil. Additional information here.
(7) worn spark plugs or incorrect spark plugs installed. Additional info here and here.
TOP 20+ reasons for a rough run and 3104:
- Most popular hidden cause: problems with NOx sensor and/or NOx catalytic converter. Detailed description here and here;
