Default 2.7t rough idle

my 2.7 (4600) miles has devolped a rough idle that feels like a slight "miss". Same with a/c on or off.

Before I take it to the dealer - any hints about what I need them to look for?

My car had a rough idle also, so I had it checked at the 8,000 mile service-dealer said it was normal. I wasn't satisfied with this answer, but before I knew it, the idle seems to have smoothed out with more miles (almost 17,000 now).

Default It's the firing order. It will always be there to some degree.

The engineers had to compromise on various factors and we now have a slight shake at idle.

Default Re: 2.7t rough idle

Just got my 2.7T back from its 8K service, where I asked them to look into the periodoc "rough" idle.

Dealer service advisor reported that this "may be an issue." He said the tech reported the computer showed engine mis-firing with more mis-fires on one bank than the other. This was reported to the Audi Tech Center, but since they (tech center) are on East-coast time no response was received (yet). The tech center was asked :
1. How much mis-firing is "normal" ( if normal at all)
2. How much difference (if at all) allowed from one bank of cylinders to the other.

I'll report the results.<p>Peter R Dieckerhoff
