Ok MikeA3, thanks for your help. Afetr posting I found out its a MAFI have not a MAP. I'll give it a clean, cheers Ben

Hi peeps, i've started to notice some irratic idle speeds and every now and then the engine stalls itself (generally when pulling up to the lights etc). Could it be a faulty MAP sesor? If so, are they easy enough to swap out? Cheers in advance, Ben

Nope, just bolted it straight on. I'll give it some coppergrease later when its stopped raining...cheers Ben

...I had to replace the battery on friday, but since the change I have been experiencing low idle! I used to just turn the key and boom, nice and smooth. But now the idle seems irratic and stalls the majority of the time. I can also feel the accelerator pedal twitching whilst this is going on...

Ahhhhh, I did try a search....but wasn't too sure what to put in as the search criteria. Thank you Ben

Where do you put your shopping? Looks good mate, if your happy with it then thats all that matters. Its better than my standard setup for sure! Ben

I imagine, and assume by reading various posts that Audi have a decent engine. I'm looking to buy a second hand A3 1.8T - would you strongly advise against a high miler? Say, around 100k for an R reg? What problemswould you forsee and what should I look out for? Thanks Ben
