Hi guys, had my 2002 a3 1.8t aum for a couple of months now. Its had a few problems that l have been trying to work through when l have cash. So far i have replaced the MAF with a bosch one, cleaned the throttle body, injector cleaner twice, had 1 coil pack replaced.
The problem is the CEL came back on after having it switched off at the weekend. The error codes were a prob with the MAF and system too lean on bank 1. The garage said to run it for a couple of days as l had not had it on a diagnostic machine since replacing the MAF.
I have called this morning and im booked in for thursday, but cash is not growing on that tree out back anymore lol. Im starting to lean toward a vacume leak ?? I have been reading some threads and people are saying to spray easy start fluid on the pipework. Is this advisable and stupid question but what hoses ??
The car at idle hunts a little and when holding at around 2500 rpm the revs will suddenly drop with me applying the same amout of throttle.
Sorry if this is confusing, l would just like to fault find myself to save some cash.
Thanks for taking the time too read and reply if you have !!
