Default Audi A3, 2003, problem with start up

Hi,Is there a reason that no one has replied to my query below? Any help, advise, suggestions would be really appreciated.
Thank you, Martina

Hi, I am a new user to this Forum and need some advice. I have an Audi A3, 2003 automatic and its a great car and have it from new,and has been well looked after.
I recently had the 02 sensor replaced(engine management light coded that it needed replacing) and since then (may be a coincidence)it has started to rev up at start up and then conk out, if I rev it up it settles down and is driving fine.It has recently had a service and all the filters are good and plugs changed also.There are no fault codes coming up when checked at garage, and he cleaned out the MAF sensor but not solving problem.Any help is much appreciated.
Martina

We just bought a 53 plate 2.0 FSI and had the same problem +

We took it to an independent VW/Audi for a diagnostic test, I believe that they reset all the errors when doing that. Well, since they did that the car starts fine, however there is still a fluctuation when ticking over that is worst when starting from cold.

Regards,

Adi
