That's interesting because the recent software upgrade cured my longstanding rough "transit" issues but now the car is completely flat when taking up drive in 1st - in fact it often nearly stalls. Not always though- if you blip the throttle gently at idle sometimes nothing happens and sometimes...

Vertigo... Sounds good - mine has been off the road as it was rear-ended but it's back now and... So far I have had no symptoms - maybe it's just coincidence but where is the exhaust gas sensor located? I had to have the nearside exhaust replaced (it was bent!).

Vertigo, I definitely have EXACTLY the same issues as you including the "burp" when blipping the throttle.

Sounds good with the update - looking forward to the feedback... With the cold revving - I only do it twice, take first gear to 3000ish then 2nd gear to 3000ish - then drive normally... So it may not be doing much damage... But mine is leased too!

Yes - that's what I thought but it seems to kill the tractor...

Temp fix.... Until the ECU upgrade is released - try this: I noticed on a previous post some guy going on about owners not revving past 2500rpm. Also Vertigo1 said that if it doesn't happen in the first 5 minutes it won't happen during a journey... This appears to be correct and I noticed...

The tractor noise definately seems to coincide with the regeneration cycle - but why is it so random? And also, more importantly, why is it so rough? So the thing has to regenerate - great but surely it shouldn't affect performace, driveability and the pleasure of owning an Audi? To top it...

Just found this - I know it doesn't really help but is interesting: http://www.lvl.co.uk/press_release.php?id=609

Yes - exactly right - the exhaust makes a cracking sound as if it has been red hot! - If you roll the car forward (in fault mode) and then take up drive in reverse you should hear a kind of low vibrating sound. As I say if it is not in Transit mode this doesn't happen.

I've been keeping an eye on the symptoms and have noticed a few others which may help the techies figure it out. I have had an Audi Transit all day today - even when I turn off the ignition and re-start it only goes away for a few seconds then - cough- it's back again. Have you noticed that...

Hi Deborah, I am sending this through the advice on the Audi-Sport forum. I have a 2007 A4 Avant S-line Special with the TDI 170 DPF. I have returned it to my dealer on a few occasions to try to rectify the "transit van noise" which you will now be familiar with. No fault codes were...

Spent yesterday with a transit Audi and today it is perfect again - same fuel, same weather, same driving style, same route! I'm off to email Audi... When it does occur - rebooting (I mean turning off and on again not flooring it) fixes the problem - idle returns to normal and everything is...

Will do - what's her address?

Just checking in - I'm still getting the same trouble - although it has been behaving for the past few days - it's very random! I am keeping an eye on your results vertigo - as it seems you have the patience to get it sorted out .

"Runs well? Are you saying you're only getting the noise issue and not the stuttery acceleration?" What I mean is it will still go... It is uneven and stuttery at idle and as you take up drive it is not smooth. Also as I said before it runs on when changing gear so is jerky but it does pull...

I will keep a note of the circumstances under which the fault occurs... I have loosely been doing that anyway and apart from one occassion the pattern is : - more prevelant with a different brand of fuel ie Morrisons not Shell which seems to cure it except when the tank reaches empty. I...

Or investigating!

Tried an experiment and put Morrisons Fuel in again - now it's happening much more often. Do you always use the same brand of fuel? Maybe worth changing... Might be a red herring but worth investistigating.

Looks like it! It seems to me that it must be a software error - but the dealer doesn't agree... in fact they say that the fault can't be re-created when in their custody... Good to know how you get on.

I have one! An S-Line Avant Special Edition... Photos soon
