Hey all, im new to the forum and i own a 2000 Audi TT 180 with 92k miles. I have a couple questions that i could use your help with. Ok to first start off everything i believe i have a leaking fuel injector(s). So im going to replace those but my question now is that my car makes almost like a grinding/chugging noise when slowing down in gear or starting off from a stop. I think it might be misfiring from a flooded plug and/or a coilpack. I just took a ride at lunch to get some food now im having trouble putting it into gear it seems a bit stiffer now than normal. Im almost positive its not my clutch it will still pull pretty hard and wont slip at all. Any input would be a great help thanks all!

 

Take it to the dealership or you local euro dealership of any sorts, VW or Audi pref. Have them check it out, you may want to invest in a extended warrenty too there are a few companies becasue if you do need work then you will want them to pay for it and not you. Dunno really, check coilpacks, plugs, wires, clutch, dualmass flywheel, transmition could be going out. Good luck let us know what happens.

 

Yah my friend owns a shop so im going to swing it by there. Im pretty sure its not the tranny i did an oil change on it yesterday and didnt see any metal frags when draining.

 

You did a oil change on the tranny? Or on the engine block?

 

dont buy new injectors. you probably have a bad o-ring that needs replace. Also chack/replace your spark plugs and make sure they are gapped right. That may solve those to problems.

 

Did the oil change on the block. I left the tranny alone brake line/ tranny share the same fluid correct?

 

No, brakes and Clutch slave use the same fluid. Tranny fluid uses 75w90 gear oil.
