wait for tdi with quattro...sooner or later they will smarten up

 

Hi Guys,

New to the forum so please bear with me......

I have the same problem with 2003 2.0FSi. Lovely car, but suddenly cuts out, sometimes wont go above 3000rpm.

my Audi dealer has so far cleaned the inlet manifold, replaced the spark plugs and upgraded the engine managment software. Had thr same problem within a few miles of leaving the garage.

for your info, its about 12 degrees C over here, and I live at sea level.

 

I'm hoping this isn't a common problem, as it's hot a lot here here in Houston TX. At least we closer to sealevel.

 

Its a recurring problem in the UK too!
Sudden Power loss or drain and then back to normal and then again. Dealer said it was the turbo only 3 years old! Replaced turbo then happened again! Dealer said it was the turbo again then changed minds as realised thay had only replaeced 9 moths earlier so said it needed new turbo seals!

No engine expert but feel I have bought a poor advert for Audi and have been taken for a ride!
