Morning All
I picked up my new 2003 A2 FSi on Thursday last week. The dealer I picked it up from is just over an hour from where I live so I spent the drive home getting used to the new cars characteristics. However just before I got home disaster struck and the car started misfiring and the EML started flashing. At first it seemed to recover and the light went off, put it was not long before it had happened a few more times and the eml is now on all the time.
I rang the dealer who seemed genuinely apologetic and I have arranged to return the car today for them to fix.
I just wondered if any of you FSi owners had had similar symptoms and could give a general idea what it is before I take it back.
After driving it over the weekend I have discovered the following.
The problem is not there when the car is started from cold. The car will drive fine for about 30 mins as it warms up and then I will start to notice the engine feeling flat in second and third. Eventually it will start misfiring and loose most of its power. If I switch off and leave the car to cool for a while it will be fine until it warms up again.
Anybody any thoughts?
Cheers
