Hi Guys
I have an Audi a3 1.8. bought it from a dealer and now the dealer is closed down hence no warranty...




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.
  • When driving I feel a loss of power and the revs keep on jumping up and down.
  • 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 then waiting a long time in traffic.
  • lately the car just dosent want to move ie i have to rave at about 4000 rpm and some times even more at all gears to get up to speed with the traffic. overtacking is imopossible as there is no power.
Have taken it to audi dealer in and have got a quote for £750 to change the ecu. but they are not sure if the ecu is faulty or not.

Any ideas as to what might be faulty from the above symptoms.
Thanks alot for reading and helping out.
