A3 2.0 Diesel - 2010 - Stuttering

[dave m]

Hi All

I am new to car forums but I do have a problem with my Diesel A3 2.0. The car keeps stuttering while I am driving and neither my local Audi, a diesel specialist or my local garage can offer any suggestion that appears to work. The car has just had a full service inc a fuel filter change and while it was fine for a day or two, the stutter is now back. I have also been advised to use Redex and only put in premium diesel which I have now started to do but don't notice any difference yet.

Has anyone else had this problem or have any suggestions as to how I can fix it?

Apart from this, car is fantastic just really need to solve this problem now. Been there for over a year!!

cheers

Dave

Sorry, as you can tell I'm not that knowledgable about cars!!!

You'd need someone to come and check them for you, I don't think you can do something like this on your drive at home.

I've seen a test in the past where the tester removes the injectors and then operates them on a test rig outside the car. You can easily see from the spray pattern of the fuel coming out of the injector if its knackered or not.
