    Misfire - still no further forward!

    Odd misfire

    Hi. I'm new to this - never owned an Audi before, so excuse the ignorance!! Had an odd misfire both today and yesterday afternoon. Both after work.

    Hi all - 1st Audi, an S3

    Hi folks, new to the forum, just got my first Audi, an S3 (8L). Always wanted one, finally dived in. Had a few VAGs over the years, SEAT Ibiza Cupra GTi, Mk 3 GTi, got a Corrado 2.0 16v at the mo (although it only comes out when it's dry - not often in Scotland!) I'll get a few pics on soon...
