Audi have assured me that there is nothing wrong with my car. They are aware of the shaking but say that it is normal which I still strongly disagree with. A friend of mine has the same model a year younger which doesn't do it. I have actually gone full circle and I am back where I started. Does...

Quick update. The mechanic thinks that it is the throttle sensors. He said that the idle speed goes up when the choke goes off and that the revs needle isn't smooth when falling back down because it jumps. I have spoken to Audi head office and it looks like they are going to replace it but they...

Just a quick update: I have booked my car in with a local mechanic to do a full diagnostic check next wednesday. I will also get him to check all of the above reccomendations you have all kindly posted including, seized DMF, Engine mounts, carbon clean for the inlet and engine head, plugs, I...

Audi head office have told me that all of the BSE 1.6 engines shake/wobble and that there is nothing that can be done to fix this only to adjust the idle speed. I seriously can't believe that Audi would sell cars that do this. I have spent the last 2 hours looking on google and can't find any...

Thanks 37. I did mention to the engineer at Audi about this but he said that mine had got the latest engine mounts. I'll just wait and see what head office come back with. I hated to have to take it this far but I ran out of options. My warranty is soon due to expire and I just want it sorted. I...

I took the car in to Audi and they assured me that the 1.6 engine does shake and feel like it is mis-firing which I personally know is an absolute load of rubbish as it didn't do this up until a few weeks ago. They told me that there was no fix and nothing else could be done. I have just fired a...

As far as I am aware they haven't checked anything and only upped the idle speed. I forgot to mention that the service manager told me that Audi had released the update patch to increase the idle speed (which doesn't work by the way) because of receiving a lot of complaints from people having...

I have rang Audi and have arranged to take it in wednesday afternoon to do a side by side comparison with another 1.6 Just hope that their car doesn't have the same problem. The service manager told me that it wouldnt be engine mounts, plugs or carbon build up because of its low mileage and...

Thanks for all the replies. I'm just about to ring Audi and suggest that they look at some of the above possibilities. I was told by someone last night that increasing the idle speed can potentially make it fail it's mot because the emissins would be out.not sure if this is true but its a good...

Hi everyone.firstly it's great to be here and I manage to pick up loads of useful information about my A3. I have 2010 A3 1.6 technik which I purchased from Evans Halshaw back in November. I have been pleased with it so far but about 2 months ago I have started to notice a really annoying shake...
