Hi everyone, long time user of the forum but I’ve finally decided to create an account as I really am at a lose end now.
I have a 2014 Audi S3 8V and it has an intermittent rough idle. The revs just seem to drop away but doesn’t always show on the Rev counter. It sort of stutters and grumbles and the exhaust sort of burbles and then it just stops and goes back to normal.
I took it to a vag specialist I use and they scanned it and diagnosed it as the camshafts over and under advanced, changed them under warranty as I’d only had the car a few months costing a huge amount ( thank god for warranty) had it back and on my way home I booted it and then all of a sudden it stuttered and I was left on the side of the road, took it back thinking they had done something wrong but it was diagnosed as a stuck open injector? New one of them and it was good to go! But that’s a story for another day.
Anyway, I had the car back and after a few days it started again, the weird rough idle that only happens sometimes. I’ve searched all over the forum and there isn’t a single person who seems to of had the same problem as me. I changed the pcv valve as a precaution but still to no avail!
Sorry for the long winded post but someone PLEASE throw some ideas my way! Thanks.
