@ paddy: very nice . Quick update on the repairs : Got the car back from the garage today . Camshaft adjusters , sensors/solenoids replaced and hurray that finally put an end to the nightmare, at a cost but at least (last) I can enjoy the car .. Only done my commute to work today and...

I personally like the 3.2l v6 Very much . Except when it has that timing issue, the car very smooth , very torquey and fast enough . And looking at the cars you could get for similar ££ it s a hard to find better fast premium hatchback. Regarding which one to get : the facelift 3 dr are from 55...

I don t beleive that you need to touch the chains as the sensor is sat between the adjusters and once the side cover off it s just 2 screws/bolts to remove . Loads of work involved for a sensor .

In order to replace the sensor the cover and the side cover by the adjusters need removing as the bolts are in the inside , which is the reason why desicion was made to replace the sensors even though they showing as fine on the diagnostic . Better that than to end up with a faulty sensors few...

Hi all, Back in for some update on the hesitations - irratic idle - misfires. The issue changed from been intermittant to constant; with the addition of the rattling noise on the left side of the engine (where the chains are located) . After a full specialist diagnostic which indicated stretch...

Hi Paddyg , Thank you for the input , I was looking at getting the pcv valve change but wasn't sure that was the source of the problem but I don't have the hissing noise and I can remove the oil cap when car s warm (as it seems to be one way to check if pcv is damaged) although when I remove...

Hi all, Digging this thread again. I had the same symptoms as most of you here : hesitant at 2k rpm, rough idle etc .... back in 2013 when I first purchased the car, after some long search on the forum I had the ECU update at my local dealer (not without some long discussions/arguments) and the...

Yes it was through the main dealer as I am not sure that it can be done otherwise (need to have someone who has got access to the software updates) .

Hi there ... I would suggest to try the ECU software update if did not have it done before . As the AA man I believe that the issue is cause by the car running rich : car is fine when cold and when it warms up and mainly on slow drive the jerking etc happen .. Following the failure of having...

Hi there .. The update reference have been posted in previous posts and did the trick on my car ... Until last December when the battery went flat and I had to jump start it . Same problem came back. I went back to Audi Coventry specifically asking for the ECU software to be ran again. I had to...

Thanks for the comment Ricky .. That s my mission for today . Will let you guys know if this does the trick . Desperate to get the car running smoothly again .

Hi all , I had the same problem a couple of years back and got it sorted with an update of the ECU software . Sorted until a few months back when the battery went flat and had to jump start the car , problem is back . Naturally tried to get the ECU software reset/update but no luck . The...

That the 911 turbo 996 ... 5 spokes

Hi there ... i think that Porsche 996 wheels would look very good on the 8p I be been through some of the pages here and could not find any pics, would anyone have some ? They are pricey but surely would look the part on my car 😜. apologies if there is some pics on this thread ... If some...

Done over a 1,000 miles now since the update and still no sign of the warning light, idle is fine and no hesitant engine. "Easy" fix to a well ennoying problem ...

it s been nearly two weeks now and not a sign of misfire and hesitation .. Touch wood it ll stay that way . you should take the time to do the update as it takes only half hour (Audi might try to say they need to keep the car for longer but just insist) and it will make a massive difference if...
