Hello: was hoping for some ideas to avoid the dreaded visit/tow to main dealer.
I have a 1996 1.8 A4 SE.
Have had it for 6 years, no problems, often slow to start (immobiliser key problem for a few goes, but always starts after a few tries)
But now it's not firing at all.
So far:
1st electriction : said there was no spark on one side of coil - replaced ignition coil. Said no pulse from crankshaft sensor. I got a new sensor, but he couldn't fit, so went to:
2nd electrician: fitted sensor, but doesn't think it was this. Says ECU only says immobiliser fault.
Am I doomed to be royally fleeced by my friendly Audi dealer?
cheers:(
