Yep,
gone in 11 minutes, without either of the keys!! They used some kind of handheld device and programmed a key from inside the car, whilst the second guy messed in the boot. Oh and one of them cased the house earlier that afternoon and took pics of the car etc. He even tried to knock out my...
righto, update of all updates!!
finally got a misfire logged on VCDS. Cylinder No. 3 I thought that will be the coil pack right? wrong.. had to replace the spark plug and coil pack on 3.
did a test drive and it was much better, but in for a penny, in for £300. So I have now changed all 6 plugs...
Mine has the rattle for about 3 seconds on a cold start. Then nothing, but the other day I noticed it after it had been sat for only an hour. Still, never lasts longer than a second or 2. What’s yours like?
Hate to think how much that costs? My car is on 83k now, I’m not sure when that is going to be an issue... I’m sure at some post it will raise its head.
How did you guys get on?
The idle wobble as I call it is much improved but, definitely not completely fixed.
So. Next step for me is the plugs. Bosh ones going in. And then coil packs. I’m then going to try and flush out the vacuume lines and see if there’s any leaks. Because if after that...
Right, off one today.
So it was all going so well. Took the S4 upbthe Road to the shops, it’s down to 1/4 tank of fuel with the 44k in it. And as I stopped at a crossroads the revs dropped, it nearly stalled and. Then the revs went up and down a few times. Very odd.
After the shop and the...
As you’ll no doubt know. My 2009 S4 is new to me and has had this annoying lumpy tick over thing at ideal.
Plugs fine, coils fine and a lot of owners say it’s normal. So I thought I’d just live with it. However, for the hell of it I stuck a can of this 44k in the tank and also did the old foot...
Update.
I stripped down and replaced the air filter. It was a bit dirty tbh. And had a good check of all intake attachments for tightness and all vacuum lines.
I then blasted the throttle body valve with cleaner and cleaned that right up as this made a huge difference to my 997. Stuck an...
sorry, I actually started a new thread about it, its very weird. There isn't an idle control valve any more is there? Can it be adjusted in VCDS?
Mine idles at 650 or just above.
Hi Guys,
Im slowly getting round the car, you know, getting it all to my liking. a wheel alignment, all wheels balanced full clean inside and out. You know the usual.
But before I go fitting the 6 new coil packs in the morning, can you tell me if this is normal please.
My S4 idles at about...
none whatsoever. It looks like it originally had rubber all the way round it, but its been torn off (hardly surprising really where it was) I count myself lucky I noticed it, this could have cut through one of those belts or worse really.
