When I got the car 2 years ago it was fine.
The problems started in Jan this year and have got worse. No work was done prior to the problem starting so I cant relate it.
At first we just thought the DMF was worn, so a new one went in. Symptoms came back within a week, another DMF went in...
I said the same to the 'specialist' but he says when under load the car will run because its a 5 bearing crank.
Not sure if the teeth were missing, they just said it had worn by 7 teeth and 30%.
From what you are all saying its pointing away from the crank. But what on earth else can cause...
forgot to mention,
when the flywheels were removed both had worn by 7 teeth and 30%.
If the starter is engaging, turning the flywheel and then disengaging, the juddering is caused by the worn flywheel bearing, then there must be a problem with the crank somewhere. It the only other place...
I dont understand either.
It drives perfect. under load you would never know there is a problem.
When stationary, the whole car is moving back and forth as if the flywheel is proper worn. When this happened last time they thought the flywheel was faulty so they just replaced it. Within 3...
All previous work done by local garage, not a specialist.
Car A3 1.9 TDi 54 plate 69k.
Took to Mackenzie's Audi/VW specialist in Lichfield today and senior technician diagnosed problem. He said that the 5 bearing crank shaft is either cracked/broken and when warm its causing the flywheel...
So the story is after I the problems with poor starting when warm, excessive juddering etc I take my A3 to a VW/Audi specialist today to have diagnosed that the crank shaft is knackered.
That is what has been causing the flywheels to break so quickly after being fitted and explains why its...
I am having similar problems to you but mine only does it when hot.
Speaking to others on here I have it down to a possible 2 options.
1. Fuel temp sensor.
2. Starter motor.
Trying these has to be a cheaper option than 6k at Audi!
I sympathise with you though. Have spent over 1.5k...
Hi All,

Can anyone identify if its an Audi unit or a Cullmann etc.
I need a cradle for it to house my Samsung Toco Lite.
Thanks
Stunning. Just love Audi's looking sweet like this. I have the same wheels and think they are the best standard wheels, especially moving! Nice car mate
I have the 1.9 Tdi mate. Remaped with a K&N pannel filter.
Being a five speed it keeps up with my mates 2.0 Tdi every time.
It IS cheaper to insure, tax and buy. Remap about £300-£400, filter about £40.
2.0 Tdi's in excess of at least 1-2k more to buy!
Hope this helps.
Thank you!
At long last someone who has experienced the same but with a solution!!
Was your replacement a Audi original or aftermarket and how much was it.
Thanks again!
