Hi Guys
I have an Audi a3 1.8. bought it from a dealer and now the dealer is closed down hence no warranty.:zx11:..
I need help from the Guru and reading the posts I have seen your work please help.
Problems with the car.
Dosent start properly unless I press the acceletor for about one second immidiatly after turning the ignition. If I dont rev to about 3000 rpm immidiatly then the EPC light comes on. and the car is in limp mode.
EPC and ESP light comes on every now and then and at this time the car stalls and also the battery light comes on. This normally happesn when waiting a long time in traffic.:mad: or slowing down at signals or turnings.(really dangerous)
The rev needle is very eratic at times. highly noticable when the car is idle. normally the needle is suppose to nbe at 750 RPM when idle but sometimes goes up ti 1100RPM and sometimes dips lover then 500 RPM specially when you rev and leave the acceletor. At time it goes all theway down to 0RPM and the car stalls.
If the car stalls too many times then the endine management light comes on.
To give you an idea it stalled today about 5 times ina distance of 1 mile and hence had to take the train. :1zhelp:
Any ideas as to what might be faulty from the above symptoms. :1zhelp:
Thanks alot for reading and helping out.
