    N249 Fault?

    I've had an intermittent acceleration hesitation fault recently and I hope maybe one of you guys can shed some light on it. It occurs when I've been sat in gear for a while or sometimes when I change down. The best way to describe it is as if the turbo has shut down, I'm still accelerating but...

    N75J and Coilpacks??

    I recently had a coilpack die on me and as I had two others that were original to the car, I decided on replacing all three. After this I found the car started to stutter when it's been ragged for a while. Every so often it also wouldn't let me rev past 3000rpm, which I guess is it going into...

    Two Warning Lights at once!

    Tonight both the Traction Control Light and ABS light came on together and stayed on. This is the second time it's happened in under a week. Obviously there's a sensor or similar go wrong and I need to get it on Vagcom. This won't be until the end of the week though. Has anyone had this, what...

    Hello? Turbo? Are you there?

    A bit like Timmc's problem, I had a very strange power loss issue this morning. It was like the turbo wasn't spooling up, it idled and accelerated smoothly but just lacked any power. I got to a set of lights and turned the engine off then on again, suddenly all power was back and it was...

    On the Mooch

    :blush:This is very cheeky I know, but have any of you lovely S3 people got an original exhaust kicking about the garage that you want rid of? :friends: I'm proper short of beans right now and this would be a nice intermidiate mod. I can pick up from Staffs/Cheshire/Manchester/Derbyshire.

    Electrical Gremlin?

    Last night I was forced to go through a flooded road. Half way through the puddle, the steering lock came on for a second or 2 (v scary!) and the battery warning light came on. A splutter or two later and all seemed ok? I'm thinking it was due to water pouring over the alternator. Would these...

    Rumble in the Jungle

    I'm getting this strange quiet deep rumble as I come to stop (from about 10mph to 0), it's like a vibration I can feel coming through the pedals. You can feel it (and hear it if the radio is low) in the passenger side too. It seems to happen all the time, whether the car is in gear or not, or...

    Play in my rubber

    ...no it's not the title of a Gimp based film! I'm getting a little play in the steering. With the car lifted on stands and giving the front wheels a good wobble, there's absolutely no play vertically and perhaps 2mm horizontally (as in pulling the wheel as if steering). There's definately...

    For anyone who's interested....

    Got my hestitancy issues sorted that were coming up in this thread: http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/showthread.php?t=52704 Turns out that I was getting a false reading on my dodgy ebay vag-com cable. A guy with the real deal did a thorough check and there were no faults. He said it could be...

    Hmmm, suspect??

    He claims it's HPI clear with no accidents, asking 7K on a motor that's worth 16K??? Maybe it's his mrs's car and she's done the dirty! :eyebrows...

    Problem while giving it beans

    While I was having a wee thrash round the local country roads tonight (all within the speed limit mind...:racer: :busted_cop:) I was getting this strange click feel coming through my steering wheel, but only when was proper tonking it into a corner. It was like something getting caught...

    F*&%(ng Potholes!!

    Hit a big hole today doing about 35ish. The alloy's ok but the tyre's frigged! :motz: The only saving grace is that the tyres were only a couple of mill off the wear indicators. So I'm now looking for a new set but what with remapping and various other (significant other induced!) purchases...

    Donk donk uh ohh!

    The beast is due it's MOT this friday and it's chosen this time to start playing up. I noticed after a long motorway drive there's a bit of play in the steering. When sitting still and moving the wheel side to side a small way, there's like a donk-donk sensation. Also from time to time when...

    Dead Sub

    My sub and rear speakers have just stopped working. I had to unclip the connector in the boot the other day, when I connected it back it worked for a bit before becoming intermittant. Today I unclipped the connector again, spayed some contact cleaner in, bent all the connection tabs back in and...
