Hi everyone I'm a new to this but need help....
I bought my Audi A4 s line on July this year and started having problems inside aweek...
First thing was black smoke coming out of my exhaust then the engine warning light came on then a week later it started to shudder 1,2,3 and 4th gear.
I took it to an autosparks and it came back as engine mounts,glow plugs and flow mass filter so I rang the dealer and he didn't want to know..So I took the car to my mechanic and he changed the flow mass filter the car drove ok for about a day then same thing started to happen again...There was still loads of black smoke so I was told it might be a bad remap so I got a guy out to check it and he said it was good.
The next day I changed the fuel filter and the fuel in the filter was black.I rang my mechanic again and he said that it must be oil in the fuel....The next thing I was going on holidays with a drive of about 500 miles straight away the car was blowing out black smoke starting to shudder and going into limp mode I had to pull over and restart the car.Then it would run fine for about 20 miles then it would all happen again..also I checked the oil before I left and I had to top it up twice it used about a full dipstick of oil.
When I got back home I took the car to my mechanic (again) and he thought that the only place oil was getting in was the O rings so I've had all them replaced at the cost of £160...
He told me to put £10 of diesel in at a time to empty the tank to get oil the out of the tank, I have put £60 through the car but now there is loads of white smoke and black smoke coming out of the exhaust...I have changed the fuel filter again but no joy.
The car is still going into limp mode,black smoke,white smoke shuttering...everyday the car is different when you drive it...I have looked up all the threads online and people have spent big money and the problem is still there....I'm coming to the end of my wits don't know who to turn to...
Ps the car looks like it's stopped burning oil and my mechanic thinks it a injector...plus I'm going to get the EGR cleaned...has anyone had all these problems and how did they fix it please....Thanks Tommy.
