Hi,
I bought an A3 2.0 FSI sport (53) 6 months ago and I've had no end of problems too numerous and diverse to list.
However, if any one has any ideas about my latest problem I'd be grateful.
Here's a list of symptoms,
1. Twice in the last 3 weeks when idling and warm the engine revs itself, the rev counter needle pulses between 0.9 and 1.2 x revs.
2. Yesterday whilst on the motorway the Emissions Contol System light flashed for about 10 seconds.
3. Today, every time I start the engine the Emissions and Engine Management lights stay on for 1 to 2 seconds and the engine sounds rough on start up before running OK.
4. The emissions smell quite rich and my fuel consumption seems very slightly high.
5. Occasionally there is an initial very small stutter when accelerating gently.
Are all of these issues related? Any thoughts would be apprieciated.
Thanks JP. (this is my first post ever on any forum!):(
