Hi any help really appreciated!!
I have a 2002 S3 BAM with 99k on it, the problem is that it drives fine but rough idle after about 20 seconds of first start - after the auto choke kinda idle, it starts fine but slight splutter on first 1-2 seconds, the only code coming up is the pre cat lambda is saying performance too low, could this cause these issues??
I have unplugged the MAF and problem stopped but then came back a minute later so I have took the mAF out of the equation!
I have checked all vac pipes under intake and replaced a couple and replaced the PCV valve as the old one was letting air through, I have checked all other pipe work and everything seems ok?!
Any help would be really appreciated as I'm at my wits end with this issue!! I'd take it to a VAG specialist but money is too tight at the moment for that!!
Thanks again
