When I got the car 2 years ago it was fine. The problems started in Jan this year and have got worse. No work was done prior to the problem starting so I cant relate it. At first we just thought the DMF was worn, so a new one went in. Symptoms came back within a week, another DMF went in...

I said the same to the 'specialist' but he says when under load the car will run because its a 5 bearing crank. Not sure if the teeth were missing, they just said it had worn by 7 teeth and 30%. From what you are all saying its pointing away from the crank. But what on earth else can cause...

forgot to mention, when the flywheels were removed both had worn by 7 teeth and 30%. If the starter is engaging, turning the flywheel and then disengaging, the juddering is caused by the worn flywheel bearing, then there must be a problem with the crank somewhere. It the only other place...

I dont understand either. It drives perfect. under load you would never know there is a problem. When stationary, the whole car is moving back and forth as if the flywheel is proper worn. When this happened last time they thought the flywheel was faulty so they just replaced it. Within 3...

could it be balance weights on the crank missing/broken causing the problem. Does the A3 even have them?

All previous work done by local garage, not a specialist. Car A3 1.9 TDi 54 plate 69k. Took to Mackenzie's Audi/VW specialist in Lichfield today and senior technician diagnosed problem. He said that the 5 bearing crank shaft is either cracked/broken and when warm its causing the flywheel...

So the story is after I the problems with poor starting when warm, excessive juddering etc I take my A3 to a VW/Audi specialist today to have diagnosed that the crank shaft is knackered. That is what has been causing the flywheels to break so quickly after being fitted and explains why its...

What does OEM mean?!

I am having similar problems to you but mine only does it when hot. Speaking to others on here I have it down to a possible 2 options. 1. Fuel temp sensor. 2. Starter motor. Trying these has to be a cheaper option than 6k at Audi! I sympathise with you though. Have spent over 1.5k...

Hi All, I have this installed in my A3.... http://s813.photobucket.com/albums/zz58/A3DOL/?action=view&current=SDC11671.jpg&jwidget_action=album Can anyone identify if its an Audi unit or a Cullmann etc. I need a cradle for it to house my Samsung Toco Lite. Thanks

Stunning. Just love Audi's looking sweet like this. I have the same wheels and think they are the best standard wheels, especially moving! Nice car mate

I have the 1.9 Tdi mate. Remaped with a K&N pannel filter. Being a five speed it keeps up with my mates 2.0 Tdi every time. It IS cheaper to insure, tax and buy. Remap about £300-£400, filter about £40. 2.0 Tdi's in excess of at least 1-2k more to buy! Hope this helps.

check mate there is no major tyre faults and if not then check the hub mountings for correct size.

Best get one on order then! Cheers again mate. Thought this was a never ending problem. Wish I hadn't spend over a grand so far though!

Thank you! At long last someone who has experienced the same but with a solution!! Was your replacement a Audi original or aftermarket and how much was it. Thanks again!

Have checked EGR too. Have also checked all the air intake for leaks. Only happens when warm, never when cold. Must be either ECU or a sensor somewhere. Interesting to see whap happens with tates1979 starter motor. I wonder if the bendix is not engaging properly. Wouldn't this happen all...

2004 (54) 1.9 TDi 68'000 miles. Fully serviced etc and looked after. How could it be the starter? Not sure how that would cause it. If it is the fuel temp sender it makes sense. Are they dealer only?

Tried the MAF sensor - not the problem. An absolute nightmare. Even to the point of juddering when stationary. New DMF so not that!

No faults found on testing. TDi chip has made no difference to performance. Mmmmm, starter motor. Any other ideas?

So fine starting when cold but when warm turns over and over then judders when eventually firing. lvedHave had x2 clutch and flywheel transplants - Not resolved. Gearbox and engine mounts - Not reolved. Could it be this...
