This is driving me MAD can anyone help?
I have an A6 2.0 TDI. I have owned it for about 4 months. I purchased it from an Audi Specialist in Warwick. They currently accept no responsibility for the problem I have with the car.
The problem that remains relates the car when it idles. After a couple of miles running and sitting in traffic the car idles at about 8000 rpm, but every 2 or 3 seconds it appear to miss a beat and the car kind of wobbles?
Audi have ultrasonically cleaned the injectors and replaced the injector seals based on information received from Audi UK.
The car was returned with the same fault. Audi had it back for a further 4 days and were unable to diagnose the problem. The are no fault codes present. I've removed the Mass Air flow Meter plug and this has also made no difference.
Yesterday Audi arranged for the mobile technician to call and start from scratch.
He was at a loss!
These are the symptoms:
1. Erratic Idle - car wobble
2. Hesitate when pulling away
3. Revving the car through the range there is a problem at 1800 rpm
4. There is strange noise from the engine every 2 seconds
5. There is knocking when changing gear from 1st to 2nd
The technician did not rule out that the injectors may need to be completely replaced. However, he also felt that there may be something misaligned within the engine?????
Apologies if you see the same post on other forums, I really am at a loss and I don't know where to turn . If you can help or know of anyone else that can help I really appreciate it.
Many Thanks!
Rob

I suspect you may do better posting this on a UK forum such as Audi-sport.net or tyresmoke.net. Most of the people here are in the US where the concept of a 4 cylinder A6 is completely alien as is one with a diesel engine, although that may be changing

I would say post your problem on www.myturbodiesel.com and they may be able to help you figure it out. We in the states just now got the TDI offered this year so we're not at all that familiar with them. Sorry.
