A3 2.0 TDI TICK OVER

Featured Replies

Hello  i am new to this ,

I have a 2007 2.0 tdi  170 bhp quatro  have had this car from 3 months old no problems at all until the last 6 weeks 

the tick over goes from 800 to 1000 rpm , the car seems to be hesitant before it happens and i think when i shut the engine off 9 out of 10 it seems to clear it until the next time ?

Once it has cleared it's back to the old car . 

I hope someone can help ?

Hi Martyn...welcome to the Forum

I would imagine it just needs a clear out.

Would advise running a cleaning additive through the engine and use each time you fuel up until it clears itself...generally works a treat.

Let us know how you get on with it

Cheers   Trevor

Hi Trevor.... thanks

i have used a cat clean is that the same thing .

do you think it's a dirty fuel problem ? 

Unlikely to be dirty fuel but I would advise putting quality fuel (BP, Esso, Shell) into the tank for a period as not a lot more expensive than the supermarket fuel at the moment

The cleaning additive I would use is either the Halfords own (which works surprisingly well) or something like Wynns or STP where you just add it to the fuel to clean injectors, EGR, etc.
