Morning all. I'm having a really annoying issue with my Avant 211 E888. Low oil pressure warning keeps coming on. Mostly on idle while stopped at lights etc. then goes away again. I've had the car into the mechanics, pressure tested etc. initially they changed the switch and repaired some...

Hi guys, so probably around a year ago my power steering went stiff all of a sudden. Not completely gone, just very heavy. No shuddering or noises or anything, no leaks or anything obvious with the pump or rack. I’m convinced it’s the servotronic solenoid however my mechanic doesn’t agree as...

How did you get on? I had an injector **** itself recently, similar symptoms intermittently for a while although not quite as severe. Mainly a sort of shudder but not a full misfire then all of a sudden, BOOM, spluttering, loss of power and huge plooms of white smoke. Injector 4 was stuck open...

Yeah just general servicing etc. Shame but AMD are a tad too far for me, I know they are top notch.

Hi guys, Looking for a good indy VAG garage in SW London. I'm in Tooting but willing to travel for someone with a good rep. Any recommendations?

Yeah only one set of injectors on mine, its a 2009. Would be nice to know which variant of EA888 I have and anything in particular to look out for

Soo, Turns out I don't have an EA113 as I though after the guy I bought it from told me it had a belt not a chain. I've only realised after I've gone to change my cam follower and noticed my HPFP doesn't look like it should! Seems odd though as the car came with a receipt at 50k odd miles for a...

For those following along at home, dodgy fuel injector. Finally packed it in completely and got stuck on, flooding the engine. Had to disconnect the battery to stop it and get it towed to my mechanic as its an intake off job to change injectors on these. Annoying but problem is now solved!

Yeah, no noise like that and no real effect on performance which makes me think its not turbo related. Just went for a drive then and it seems like once the engine is warm the problem only exists below about 1500 rpm

I think a slight amount of suction is normal. If your PCV has gone I think you'd feel quite a strong resistance. If its gone you'll probably be running rough and hear whistling from it. I just replaced mine because I'm trying to get to the bottom of a rough idle. It wasn't the PCV but the...

Just a hydrogen clean from UK CC Auto Techs. For 100 odd quid thought it was worth a shot. Problem is still there and consistent now and driving me nuts. Cant get the car into the mechanics for 3 weeks! Thinking it has to be an air leak somewhere but no idea where. Either that or a timing...

Update: Had a carbon clean which seems to have done a whole load of nothing. No misfires or anything on OBD. Problem seems to be getting slightly worse, or more consistent at least. Still no real effect on performance or fuel consumption though. The old Italian tune up also hasn't fixed the...

Hi folks, I've had the motor for a about 5 months. Everything's been fine apart from using a bit of of oil. Over the last few weeks it's developed a bit of a shudder/misfire, pretty minor although once or twice it has got quite bad for a few seconds and then calmed down again. No engine codes...

Sorry for the late response but I've all but given up! not the wiring in the rubber boot either. :wtf:

Nope, wires look mint. No idea!
