Hi folks. Had this car for 6 months and it has a sporadic misfire. No obvious interval but let's say every hundred miles to give an idea. Happens at lowish revs (1.2-1.5k) usually on a mild incline (so moderate acceleration) and has happened in 4th, 5th and 6th gears. I generally try to avoid the circumstances under which it might occur (so often keep revs above 1.5K on mild inclines) or it may happen a bit more regularly. When it happens it feels like it misses a beat - quite a violent single stutter. Possibly occurring slightly more often as the last 6 months has progressed. I'm new to Audis and new to diesels. Any obvious contenders for the possible cause? thanks John

Hi, Picked up a 2.5tdi a4 avant quattro (2004) a few months ago. I've tended to do a lot of my own work on previous cars (usually with the help of a haynes manual). It's time for a service and i've got a couple of other jobs I'd like to do too so I've had a look for a Haynes manual for this car but the only ones I can find don't cover 2.5 v6 diesel or quattro. I'm assuming that what I am looking for does not exist. So what do folk in the same boat use? thanks
