    Anyone with a mapped S3 in Kent?

    I am happy to have a look at it if you like. A quick log with VAG-COM will give you an idea of whether its been remapped or not.

    Haldex problem

    Edward: AWD moduile is what controls the 4wd system (All wheel drive) I would definitely start with the brake light switch if it has come up on both controllers. It would make sense for it to diable the haldex if there was a problem like that. Its under the dash behind the pedal.

    Haldex problem

    Yeah, let us know how you get on. One of the large fuses under the bonnet over the battery is for ABS/TC communication. I looked at Ballcrushers car on here with a communication prob to the Haldex and ABS and it was a connection to that fuse that was shot. Well worth a check. V/C will...

    Haldex problem

    I agree, VAG-COM will show if there are any communication problems between the ECU and the Haldex controller. Thats what I would expect to see. Have you got an ABS or Traction Control light on the dash? Remind me is fuse 31 one of the ones above the battery. If not I would check them too?

    CLUTCH OR MAF

    I could have a look for you if you like. Depending you where you are? Have you got VAG-COM yourself? If so, have a look at block 114 column 4. This will show you how far closed your wastegate is. Any more than 95-96% throughout the rev range will show a leak. That will prove your hose theory...

    CLUTCH OR MAF

    Met up with SAF today to VAG-COM his car. There are no permanent fault codes and everything seems ok engine wise. This problems was definitely the clutch. Once I had confidence that there were codes, we went for a drive. As soon as turbo spools up, the clutch would slip, the revs climb but...

    A3 1.8T Management light

    Good news mate. Glad it wasn't a timing issue!!

    A3 1.8T Management light

    I don't know about the pully to be honest. I don't know how many teeth you would have to jump to make a mess of the valves agains the pistons but I would hate to think that was possible, unless of course the tensioner wasn't doing its job. If it was fitted wrong in the first place you would...

    A3 1.8T Management light

    I don't know if you can adjust the sensor. I think its a case of replacing it to be honest. It senses the position of the CAM Shaft as that is adjusted by the ecu depending on the advance or ****** required by the MAP. I wonder if its related to the cold misfires and whether its ok when its...

    A3 1.8T Management light

    Pictures speak a thousand words!! That lot means nothing to me! I reckon the N75J would need changing back to be safe as I have heard that they create probs with overboost. You obviousy aren't getting that problem at the moment though...

    A3 1.8T Management light

    Lambda or 1.99 is VERY lean. Not sure why they are so different, but they shouldn't be. Thats a bit of a strange result really as we thought it was overfueling. http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/cars/fuel-trim.html Maybe, if you Lambda sensor is duff, it could be telling the ECU that you are...

    A3 1.8T Management light

    I think they are all related. Is it possible you have unplugged the Cam Position Sensor accidentaly or broken a wire? Looking at the codes and doing a bit of digging, the over rich fueling and/or the Cam Position Sensor would definitely be a cause of the missfire. I would look at returning...

    A3 1.8T Management light

    I can only really assume its running remapped 1.8T figures as I am not sure of the remap without getting in on the rollers. For which the Boost looks good and MAF, for about 200bhp looks ok. I use 153g/s x 1.322 = 202bhp. Its difficult to say as your car has a mixed pedigree!! I think for...

    A3 1.8T Management light

    Sorry mate, I missed the last couple of posts. The boost looks nice and high. Is it remapped? Its higher than I expected. MAF results look healthy but in my experience, that doesn't meet its ok. I would give it a clean. The missfires could be moisture and cold but could be a coil pack on...

    A3 1.8T Management light

    Ceefna, You need to do an exceleration run in 3rd or 4th from low revs to the red line to be able to determine any problems throught the rev range. That log doesn't really show me anything I am afraid.

    A3 1.8T Management light

    You are right, but if its not opening at all, it will throw up a code. I am not sure but it might be the same "Check DV" label. However, as yours seems to be modified fairly highly, the yellow should be ok, its just stock - stage 1 that a yellow is a bit stiff for. I'd be interested to hear...

    A3 1.8T Management light

    Yes, 95% is fine when on full boost. What BHP are you running? I would have thought, unless you are at a stage 2 remap, that a yellow spring was perhaps too hard. I have a green in mine and its standard. That might be worth a try. I wonder whether the S3 injectors may be the problem as I...

    A3 1.8T Management light

    Its not very easy to give comment as its such a short log. But I don't think you have a boost leak. Although the specified boost shoots up to its limit, the actual will take a few seconds to peak (and overboost) then drop to match it. This is the turbo spooling up and is shown in your results...

    Boost gauge fitted

    Always the way mate... I had to give blood for my A pillar one too!! It took ages to send and then DHL gave it to a neighbour who kept it for 3 days without telling me! Cheers!! Hope you get it fitted soon, I would like to see what it looks like in an A3/S3

    ABS Light on on dash??

    I could scan it for you Eddie, depending on how close you are? It sounds like the sensor to me. It senses the difference in speed between back and front wheels. It might be giving wrong signals and making the ABS controller think its locking up.. Worth plugging in soon though I would day...
