Got the amber engine management light on constantly and noticed a strong smell of fuel. Can anyone help point me in the right direction?..lambda sensors, cooling temp sensor or anything else?...thanks in advance.
advice please guys... from reading the forum i've found it's a regular problem.

...er hmmmm....guess what, i am now hanging my head in shame. DaveA3..muppet mode had been engaged..it was ****** selected off!..i'll get me coat!

my car is 2001 a3 1.8 t sport fwd....yesterday, i got stuck on some ice. i had the esp selected on as normal but i turned it off to try at least get some wheel movement to get me out of the ice.

..yep, got the mpg on DIS. to aid mpg do you reckon it's best to have the average mpg or 'live' mpg displaying? i have been displaying average mpg...doesn't seem to be too accurate neither!...34-35mpg? i don't think so!
thanks for the replies so far fella's...well, it looks as though i'm about average mpg then?..i must admit i was hoping to get similar figure to 'sportquattro' to be honest.
