oh and I got hit from the side two days previous?

I cleared dtc's and sprayed silicon spray on actuator and on vane lever last week.lack of power caused me to investigate. As soon as job done,went for a test drive and pulling off in first,the car just shudders like a washing machine.does this in reverse as well and wobbles when dropping down...

oh and reverse and first/sometimes second hard to get in and first suffers from stuck in gear.when stationary with foot on clutch in first,the clutch engages making the change out of first impossible only when stationary.i believe this to be the slave cylinder fault,but no obvious leaks on the...

Hi,sorry for the delayed reply.I have aseen a vcds today on amazon.some say the micro can is ideal for a single car maintenance.others say the hexcan is the best.the amazon one is £27 and its a hex can.any advise? I did however today do the Italian and set off on the motorway slip road from 3rd...

I usually let the car idle for a few minutes before setting off.I have purchased a £10 copy of vagcom/software/driver thinking of a cheap deal,but now realise that there isn't much I can buy cable wise.what did you buy and how much.any good? I have tried the car with maf off,and no power,so it...

What changes between cold and hot?something is stopping actuator till it reaches temp.maybe coolant sensor or actuator stiff.it deffo feels limited in general.boost seems pretty strong but no limpmode from boost leak.can a turbo operate slightly with a vacuum leak in actuator.

Diesel was wasnt black.filter change helped a little,but still limited to 3k when cold.why is temp a factor.also got the whistle and dump valve noises and ail

Ok.Here I go.My a3 lacks power from first through to third gear.No limp mode at all.When I bought the car a month ago,there was a leak and a massive air/whooshing noise.found leak on the n/s intercooler flange,and I sorted this.hasnt improved problem at all really.powers uphill no probs now...

Hey stu_m, my car is the same.10% better with esso diesel. gav

hi BLACKQUAT, My bad.ive got a tdi tuning box which comes with two connectors.one for the fuel pressure and one for the airbox.its a pd engine as well. Ok,so research says ive nothing to lose by changing the temp sensor.would this improve my mpg? As well,my heat in the car don't get super...

I don't have a mpg DIS,only a miles left to go.i work out my mileage on 20L and divide by 4.39(20L/4.546which is how many litres in a gallon) google44-what wheels you got?bmw 320? its a 2.0 and 2.0 VAG lumps only average 44-50. my motors got egr delete so **** on idle for fuel saving.

Hi,Im well chuffed I got vaggies(VAG enthusiasts)I can chat to and not troubleshooting mechanic rookies! BLACKQUAT- 1.-its plugged into airbox sensor and one in fuel sensor. 2.Never changed sensor 3.-high temp stat was a 95c one(I think) 4.not sure if I tested present one/might of When I...

I only work out my mpg based on 20L fills.providing I use esso,i get 240 miles every time.and I know my dis is crap,but I know how it behaves.i did change the stat with one that opens later,and the dis was dropping faster and I only got 180miles on 20L.its more the case of everyone saying that...

Ye I agree.its how far you've got left trip.no average mpg. just installed box.problem has always been there from the start with regards to temp. the minute I removed the radiator blank(box of shreddies open out)en route home,the mileage went up again.

oh and it always sits on 68c.when I blanked off the top of the rad,it hit 89c but burning rich.

Hi.wow what a quick response.im averaging 55mpg.i changed the thermostat for a higher temp one and the mpg went down to 40-45mpg.changed it back.sorted. blocked off the top of radiator today and mpg was dropping to 40-45mpg. I too have a tdi tuning box now. gav

Hi,Im a newbie.why does my engine perform its best at 68c.any hotter and it burns richer.
