    Hi,

    I have been having issues with my Audi A3 8P - 2011 Black edition 140bhp - TDI 2.0. We have this problem - which we cannot get to the bottom of and every mechanic / garage we see to seems to draw a blank which is incredibly frustrating for us.

    So basically we start car - from cold. when driving the car there is no power if pressure is applied to accelerator. the car becomes very jolty - almost feels like no fuel getting in to the engine. it is almost impossible to drive when cold - we have tried various fuel additives to no avail. (it can only be driven lightly up to 1250 revs max when cold or car shakes & audible noises are coming from the engine.

    When the engine gets warm - to approx 90 deg then this problem disappears completely away and it is possible to accelerate through the gears no problems. i could accelerate 0-100 with absolutely no issues whatsoever.

    And i drove south from Edinburgh to london yesterday - no issues apart from early on when the car was cold.

    As soon as engine was warm - the car didn't miss a beat. it is most bizarre.

    Current Fuel is Shell V power diesel - helps a little but doesn't really make much difference.

    The car has no warning lights, has never broken down ever and has been plugged in to VAG COM on multiple occasions and every garage tell us there are no errors despite something being obviously wrong.

    the last garages advice was car was pinking when cold and to change the fuel filter. I done that - cost me £8. but alas to no avail.


    The car is an EA189 Engine. - the fix was applied by audi at 60,000 miles. Audi then agreed fault and replace injectors and EGR valve. this didn't really make much difference. but was helpful. I then had the car's ECU rolled back to the original settings by a garage called Mapped performance in barnsley.

    Since then we have done 30,000+ miles without issue and performance has been ten times better than when audi applied their fix.

    But we just can't get to the bottom of what is causing my car to be so rough to drive when cold - yet as soon as the engine is warm - it becomes a totally different vehicle.

    i live in london - and would happily see any specialist who can help me fix this issue - the last couple of garages (inc my local - the german motor company SW18) audi specialists - have drawn a blank.......


    I should also add - car has been regularly serviced on average every 10-15,000 miles throughout its life, cam belt also changed at 88,000 miles.

    Current Mileage is 96,000


    help please ?

    thanks
