2005 A3 2.0 T fsi quattro
symptoms - emissions light , turbo chatter noise.
vagcom - N249 mechanical malfunction
As above, can anyone tell me where the N249 is? also, any other ideas as to what could be wrong?
Thanks
ok cheers for that mate, im going test driving another standard one this weekend but if anyone near rossendale lancs has a mapped one i wouldnt mind a quick trial run. Not really looking at testing a highly modded one as i just want to know how they feel after the remap as thats all i would be...
I meant it wasnt even at 60 when i changed to third mate. Cheers for all the replies and im going to keep looking and test drive a few more. If anyone is near rossendale lancs with a mapped version i wouldnt mind a quick look into that option. Is there any insurance companys you all recomend...
@ stapo. Whos your insurance with for £400? i like the sound of that. Are you older than me? Im 26 with 7 years ncb.
Dont worry im not giving up on it yet i really like these cars and im going to do all i can to convince myself. I just need a good test drive i think.
no youre right ive never heard of the rs2 but the pictures ive seen of them now dont really do anything for me. You think im taking the **** but like i said before im saying it as it is and if you read through all these posts about 80% of s3 owners seem to be agreeing with me which i did not...
im not sure what i want any more mate. I want the same feeling i get from the impreza but with a more mature image i suppose. If i was to get an s3 id at least like the running costs to be lower but so far the insurance quotes are higher than the scooby (quoted today at £1300, 26 7 years...
i hope so too. im going to try another couple of s3`s before i give up completely and hopefully a remapped one as well. Not really looking for a car that needs modding though to be honest, could live with a remap but thats about it.
Where you from james?
maybe the s3 isnt for me then. Got to say im gutted really cos i really fancied one of these but i know the fascination of the nice interior will soon wear off and ill be left with a slow car that costs more or less the same to run than my subaru which is great fun every time i get in it...
i know what your saying about my scooby feeling faster but really its not just the feeling. i set off in the s3 the engine sounding like its screaming, then into second for what felt like ages with that same screaming engine noise and eventually into third (still not even at 60) then up to 70...
i think thats it mate, i want too much. I want something fast and fun like the impreza but at the same time something classier and more refined with a nice interior. Maybe this doesnt exist in this price range and i haveto either compromise performance or style. So why do i read all these...
I just thought that an s3 which is supposedly a dedicated sport model with 210/225 bhp would feel faster than it did. Maybe once you get going the power would have hit me as i never really got through 3rd gear and above 70 as the nearest motorway to where i test drove was miles away and the...
