Hi there, when i bought my A3 3.2 back in march it had a misfire so i took it into Audi for the coilpack recall and software update, it ran fine for a few days and although its still not jerky like it used to be the misfire is back.

When i say misfire it sounds like a motorbike bogging out sort of sound when the revs are coming down, the car also doesnt feel anywhere near as fast as it should and counting in my head takes roughly 8 seconds to 60 (manual).

Any ideas?

Just had a new clutch and flywheel last week at a cost of £800 aswell so hoping this is a cheap fix or im going to just call it a day and sell up, had nothing but problems since day 1.

The car has covered 76k and has been serviced 2 weeks ago with full upto date service history.

There is also no worrying sounds coming from the timing chain according to 3 different mechanics and Audi so i dont think i have a stretched chain (i hope)

Helps appreciated, i need a rough idea of whats wrong before i go to my local vag specialist as on my GTi i took it to 4 different garages with a diverter valve fault and none of them could find the problem, i ended up fixing it myself so i like to have an idea of whats wrong :)
