Hi All,
I'm new to this club. Registered over the weekend after buying my first A2 on Friday last week, a 2001 1.4Tdi. But sadly my A2 is already in the service garage today after a breakdown on the motorway. Driving at 60mph the car started juddering. I then applied the clutch and the engine died. After stopping I tried the restart but no luck. The engine turns over but makes a different noise and the car shakes more than usual. All Warning lights turn off and all reads OK.
After the AA arrived they tried to diagnose the problem, but he told me that my car, although it was registered in 2001 is was probably manufactured in 2000. In 2001 Audi changed the Diagnostic Software/Hardware. Is this true? Because of this his diagnostic tool couldn't communicate with my car. It was then towed to the nearest garage where its sitting now waiting for it's outcome.The AA guy said that in his experience its usually the throttle position sensor. Could it be
Has anyone had similar problems?
My Car:
2001 A2 1.4Tdi Manual AMF (Mileage 136000)
Cambelt and service done recently
Thanks for your help
