Hi
In february this year i bought a 2004 A3 2.0TDi (58k). Just after recieving it i noticed it was shuddering when at idle.
When the engine is cold it dosen't do it, it only happens when the engine is up to optimum temp 90oc, also it seems to be alot worse when your parked on an incline!!
Over the last few days also i have noticed that when at idle and the car is shuddering the engine tick-over noise brakes with the shudder, for example imagine a diesel engine ticking over, shudder, no noise for a fraction of a second and then engine noise again!
Any explanations or advice on this would be greatly apprieciated! :1zhelp:
