Hi everyone, as a new member of the forum and a new owner to AUDI as an A3 driver, now wishing that I had spent my money on an R32 instead. I have owned VW golfs of many types for the last 15 years from MKII 8v to 140ps TDi MK5.
My brand new A3 2.0TDI 170PS QUATTRO seems to have an idling problem the dealer has had it back twice and "the computer plugged into the ECU with NO faults reading". Let me explain the problem, at low speed Less than 15mph the car in second gear, it does not always but 3 out of 5 times the engine will not pick up when the throttle is pressed it just cuts out, also noticed is the idle speed you can pull up to a stop from 30mph and the car will tick over at just over 800rpm on the rev counter but if you come to a halt from 60-70 it ticks over at 780ish and starts to hunt if you try to pull away the car cuts out. the hunting reminds me of my old highly strung MKII GTI after I Fitted gas flowed head, fast road cam and new gas flowed throttle body without a remap at my local superchip dealer. Anyway enough about that one has anybody else had a simular problem with there Audi or was mine built on a Friday afternoon.
