Re: severe misfire at idle

Thanks shop, it was John Bowles down in Sevenoaks. Already went back there with it, but nobody there now to do any work on it today so logged the problem with them.

Is the air box something I can do myself? I'd like them to put it right ideally...

Re: severe misfire at idle

Thanks, me too! I haven't got VCDS so no idea about codes at the mo, I think I need to get that now asap and get up to speed with all that.... I drove it long enough to come up to temperature, about an hour. I pulled off straight away from cold and didn't notice a problem until 3 miles down the road...

Re: severe misfire at idle

Bloody hell, just picked my car up from service inc. spark plugs and have exactly the same symptoms as you stealthy, erratic idling in gear with foot on brake, sometimes hesitant pulling away slightly better when up to temperature.... Pulled over to get fuel and the revs ran up to 1600 on idle.... W...

Would have been useful to say it was a C5 RS6 in my original post!

Re: Fuel Gauge *Edit - It's goosed!!

I'm glad it's not just me then, I thought someone had been nicking V-Power out of the tank whilst I was asleep!

When the car starts from cold the mpg must be really low, the range drops right down, then creeps back up ads the engine warms, settles down for a bit, then slowly down again....

Re: what the forum has become

Nah, lighten up op, life's too serious and <beep> most of the time, a little off-topic banter and humour is a good thing. Not been here long or posted much, but enjoy popping in and reading the humorous posts and of course the amount of useful information on tap here from fellow Audi nuts is awesome...

Re: Possibly interesting front end mod but oh dear for the r

i don't like it, i don't think it's the proper way to tune a C5, i believe it's actually hard to do much to this body...i guess the headlights came off a B8, however the parts seem to fit quite well, some work has definitely been put in... I agree, the RS6 is the perfect example of how to do the C5...

Re: TPMS

Great thank you. Time to get hold of a vagcom I think. I think they must have been replaced, they all seem to be working. Is removing / refitting it a job for an enthusiastic amateur to take on, or a job for a specialist? The guy at my local tyre place said removing the TPMS unit would - in his word...

TPMS

Hi all,

I'm replacing a buckled wheel, can the TPMS unit be transferred to the new wheel which doesn't have one fitted, or do I need to order a replacement?

Thanks
