The Rod

Hi, my A3 just gone back in to Audi for the second time, about a week after the ecu update the smoothness faded and back came the engine hesitation. Apparently they can't replicate the fault so can't fix it,im getting a bit fed up to be polite.

Update on my post, Audi have said there is no issue documented for my engine type,however the technician did notice a slight "lag" in response when he road tested my car.Audi said that they could install the Update for the 2019 engine which does have documented issues to my car.The technician road tested my car after the update & noted a definite improvement as do i.I have been asked to monitor the situation and get back to them if the issue returns. 🤞

Hi, i have also just bought a used Audi A3 1.5 tfsi S tronic,the problem i have is minimal,but it does have a slight pause in power at low speed,almost like the fuel is momentarily cut off & then turned back on.I have another issue with the engine noise whilst ticking over,listening outside the car,i personally think its a bit noisy.Not sure if the COD has something to do with it.I have dropped mine off at Stoke Audi tonight for investigation ,however i was told by the guy that booked me in that if nothing was discovered that i would be liable to pay the diagnostics fee of £156.He told me that the issue with the Kangarooing effect was only on engines post 2019.
