    A4 Quattro 1.8 T sport 2001 juddering/loss of power

    Hi, Yeah I can remove oilcap no problem, I have had coils go and it feels just like that except with a gurggling, bubbling type noise along with the judder. Then in minutes after the engine is restarted it goes away. I'll get into the garage Monday morning, the guy is pretty hot on Audi's so...

    Hi all, thanks for the messages of support, you were right , a simple coil replacement did the job, she is now purring on the driveway. He talked me through the longterm service issues with audi and their 20,000 mile oil change nonsense. A genuine guy with bags of knowledge and info, much like...

    A4 T Sport Quattro 2001 nightmare!

    At idle it sounds chuggy like, not so much rattling, a low loader is taking it to a specialist my dad knows, he says it could be the coils or the entire engine could have been screwed through an oil clog causing massive issues, at this stage he said over the phone it would be wrong to guess, so...

However, I have been told that if I...
