Hi all,
Quick confusing one, my first winter with this damn A3...
So veryyyyy cold at the moment, so i get in my car, turn the key..and its started first time and tht...:D
BUT...
Rev...0
Illumination - Off
Clocks / Mileage / Trip - Off
Fuel & Temp - Off/Empty
Heaters & Radio / Headlights/ Wipers all OK...
Then all needles and lights blink randomly and the needles shakes and hesitates before coming to life.
Clock reset, as is trip...
bit annoying as its every morning..
Other thingy...euggggh its got a "shakey engine" as in at idle I feel it shake alot even when at 1100 idle...
Told its a faulty ECU...sounds like carp to me...
When WARM i press the acc lightly revs dip to like below 500... if in gear and not enough gas applied then car will stall....
Other times, it dips and then comes back to normal..
Sometimes its all ok..
no idea...MAF...??
but did that MAF/Vagcom test, got a good reading...
