Hi there, new guy here.

Basically I've been having a massive problem with my A3 recently. It sputters when driving (sometimes at idle) and half the time cuts out usually followed by a large plume of white smoke and a burning smell. It's only began to happen within the past 3 weeks however it's ridiculously dangerous. It feels as if not enough fuel is getting to the engine for whatever reason. I've been through injector changes, cleaning valves, fuel additives and changing looms but nothing seems to be working.

There's also a ringing from the EGR valve after it's stalled and only extinguishes after unplugging two connections to it.

I've been looking everywhere for a solution, the most common ones coming up are injectors, mass air flow sensor, fuel pump-- all I've looked at.

It's an Audi A3 2.0tdi 170bhp 08.

Thanks in advance,
ANPM.
