    juddering problems update...

    Right... Due to a good samaritan i have some codes back from the scan. I've pasted below... I can see that there are clearly problems in one of the faults inc MAF sensor. I'm guessing that starting with the cheapest first and then going on from the best bet? Any advice appreciated...

    The never ending problems...

    Just starting to rip my hair out here so thought I’d give you guys an update on my A3’s erratic personality! Got an A3 1.8T 1998 and since I’ve bought the car there have been things continually going wrong. The first and most annoying of them all is a shuddering that happens intermittently...

    Oil on spark plug...

    Oh yeah, it's done 86,000 so not many. It was sat on a drive for two years and only did around 2,000 in that time which prob doesn't help things!

    Oil on spark plug...

    I just changed the spark plugs and it seems to have done the trick for now. After closer inspection it looks like the oil is indeed coming from the seal so i'll have to get that replaced at some point in the near future. Looking inside the chamber it looks pretty sooted up so i'm guessing that...

    Oil on spark plug...

    Tht's reassuring... Fingers crossed when i replace the plugs tonight that it will make the problem go away for the time being at least. i think i need to spend some serious time under the bonnet in a week or so and replace the Gasket cover! Thanks for all of your help, it's much appreciated...

    Oil on spark plug...

    It has had it's annual service last december by Audi which included a full oil change and brake fluid change. Could it still be a bent valve if it doesn't happen all the time? It seems to come and go which woudl hopefully rule this out? The plugs i've got to replace with are Champion plugs...

    Oil on spark plug...

    Theres no smoke coming from the exhaust so no problems there... I'm hoping that it's just the cover gasket as i think i can replace that myself... I don't really want to fork out for a garage if there is no need to!

    Do you reckon the juddering and loss of power will be the spark plugs though?

    Oil on spark plug...

    Nice one... that's exactly what i wanted to hear! It's weird because there has been no oil warning light and i've been checking it daily and there is no less oil in it than before. Just sick of the misfiring and the juddering that happens when i'm driving... Fingers crossed thet new plugs...
