Just bought my new car from a dealer, (not audi). The garage is quite a distance away from me so they approved a local audi specialist. They are not up holding the 6 months warrenty they sold me the car with so i am going to pay for the repairs and then pursue them for the money. Luckily the credit card company are on my side.
Anyway the problem is:
The engine emissions warning light appeared on the dash. Had a diagnostic test, which brought up the EGR valve. 1st of all the garage cleaned it out, i took it away and then it came straight back on. They have now changed the EGR valve.
The light has now re appeared. I am getting concerned that it could be a bigger problem.
I have spoken to audi's and they are very helpful!!
They said the car had a retro fit (by audi) air filter fitted by the catalyst???
He advise that i take it into them for them to clean and re-calibrate??
How can he re-calibrate a filter?? Or it could be the lambda probe.
Can anyone shed some light on this matter?
Car drives absolutly perfect, although i think the mpg has got worse since the problem has been on the car.
Thanks mike
