    ERRATIC/ROUGH IDLE ON COLD ENGINE START....HELP!?

    The sound in the video is the APR turboback system which sounds like misfire/wrong air/fuel mixture. It kind of sounds like gasping for air/fuel. Hard to describe. The sound itself is nothing to worry about though. I check my fuel pressure with VCDS while cold/starting up/warm....all normal...

    ERRATIC/ROUGH IDLE ON COLD ENGINE START....HELP!?

    So checked a lot of things today with VCDS and visually. Double checked that spark plugs are alright, checked for vacuum leak/boost leaks (none), checked coolant sensor and lambda sensors (booth give correct readings), checked TB for residue but seems alright. Checked MAF again with VCDS...all...

    ERRATIC/ROUGH IDLE ON COLD ENGINE START....HELP!?

    Gave the MAF a clean but didn't improve. Then checked with a working MAF of a mate's car...still no luck. Same problem. So even though the engine runs perfect with the MAF unplugged, the MAF is not the issue. Also did a reading on the throttle body and realigned it using VCDS...all parameters...

    ERRATIC/ROUGH IDLE ON COLD ENGINE START....HELP!?

    So the MAF seems to be the culprit here. I disconnected it before starting the car this morning and it started just fine, no idle issues, no stalling. Switched off the engine, reconnected the MAF and tired again....stalling, erratic idle. Gonna have to try a mate's MAF to confirm and then see...

    ERRATIC/ROUGH IDLE ON COLD ENGINE START....HELP!?

    Hi guys. I have been experiencing some annoying rough/erratic idles on cold engine starts. RPMs are jumping between 400 and 1000 until the needle settles at 800 after 30-40sec (see video). Engine/exhaust sound like a tractor during these first seconds and engine seems to stall almost. This only...

    Paint or powdercoat audi 2 piece wheels???

    2pack paint is not standard paint and powder coat chips way easier than 2pack. also if you have a chip it is easy to fix up when its painted. if powder coated you have to do the whole wheel again. it will be more than 80 a wheel as well. think more in the region of 500 pounds the set of 4 (this...

    Spacers/springs help

    Just noticed your pic. Looks like OEM so either ET52 or 54 should be right. You can already see in the pic that your car will not looks like the one you just posted when lowered. You should be fine with 12mm or 10mm each side. 12mm will still work with "the screw" removed in case it should rub...

    Spacers/springs help

    No way, it won't. I don't know whats wrong with the car in that pic. Firstly, 50mm won't get you THAT low. Second, it depends heavily on your ET of your current wheels. Mine didn't look like that even without spacers. Check the forum for pics of 50mm lowered cars. There are a lot. I will take...

    Service intervall with modified car

    I am on APR Stage 2, going on 2+ soon. My local APR tuner is doing my yearly Audi service. However, he recommended doing a service every 6 months because the car is modified. This will mainly be oil change and oil filter change every 6 months. Do you guys think this is really necessary, I...
