Hello everyone,
I've had my Audi for around 6 months now and seem to have had problems with it ever since I bought it. The car is an 59 Plate Audi A3 2.0 TDi S-Line Black Edition (Automatic DSG) the 170 BHP one.
The car will randomly judder, more common in higher gears, just like I've tapped on the brake. Or if I'm pulling out at a junction for example and step on the accelerator nothing will happen for a couple of seconds like it's cut out (all other electronics stay on fine) then it will just spring back to life and go (doesn't happen every time, but far too often).
I've had it taken to a "VAG Specialist" who done me a full service (DSG flushed also) then sent it to be scanned, resulting in an ABS Pump failure (this was replaced and scanned again). The chap who scanned said that there are spikes of low voltage. He also advised me that the aftermarket stereo that's fitted could potentially be causing the problem (haven't yet checked this out, but could that be true?).
Whether this is relative to the same problem or not I haven't any idea but often an ESP Fault will display on the trip computer then randomly go off after a few minutes.
The car has had no engine modifications or remapping done to it. I'm desperate to get this problem resolved so I can sell it as the car is just sat on the drive after purchasing a Seat Ibiza Bocanegra a couple of months ago.
I massively appreciate any help or advice on this.
Thanks,
Stephen
