==== Possible Symptoms ====

* Possible loss of power, due to AVS (Audi Valve Lift System) default position affecting lower (1000~3100 RPM) torque curve
* All non affected actuators are switched to the Large Valve Lift position.

==== Possible Causes ====

* Wiring and/or connections (short circuit?)
* Voltage supply failure to the Cam Adjustment Actuators
* Faulty Engine Control Module
* Worn or damaged Camshaft/Cam Element(s) 

==== Possible Solutions ====

* Check wiring and connections
