Hi chaps!
I have an odd one for you. Having spent weeks searching the internet, and spending lots of money, im no closer to solving an issue with my 2014 S3 8v.
Its stage 1 tune, Forge carbon intake, gfbdv+, VW racing turbo elbow.
It developed an engine vibration at idle weeks ago. Thought it was plugs, nope.
Thought hey its coils....nope.
Ran a few tanks of fuel thinking maybe some petrol was contaminated, i cant say either way but my hunch is ...well..nope again.
Some days also, you can feel the power is slightly down. I have checked all hoses for vac and boost. Its strong as an ox with no breaches or cuts/flaws.
Holds brilliant boost but feels slightly lacking. Some days the engine vibration is much more pronounced, some days hardly there at all.
Now i am going out of my mind on this one. NO codes being thrown. Just uses a little more fuel than normal, vibrations and power dipping.
What on earth could this still be??? Im now thinking could this be a leaky injector?
That ties into sporadic changes, engine pulsing, power fluctuations etc.
I dont know, sorry for the ramble. If you have ever suffered from this, please chime in. Ill listen and respond to what ever we come up with
