Dirtydiesellee Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Hi there, i have a 2007 a3 2.0 170 tdi sportline and recently when the engine is cold and i'm in traffic crawling along as i try to go abit faster the car starts to kagaroo, now i had a problem similar to this on a bmw and that ended up being a fuel presure regulator, but that was petrol and the audi is the first diesel i have ever owned, so dont really have a lot of knowledge about diesels yet, so if anyone has experienced this problem before or they know what the problem could be your advice would be most welcomed. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grimsa Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 My 2007 A3 170 has developed the same issue as you describe. Only happens when cold, light throttle in traffic, kangaroos. I've owned since new, started doing it about 40k miles. Now on 55k has'nt got worse but is still annoying all the same. Had it in to the dealers twice, they could not find a fault and blamed it on the DPF regeneration. I know exactly what the car feels like when the regeneration is going on and sure this ain't the issue. Hopefully somebody knows the cause and a solution.

Dirtydiesellee Posted August 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 I'm woundering if it could be something to do with the fly by wire throttle unit, because just latley its been very slow to respond, but this has done it when hot aswell, i put my foot down to go and for a moment nothing then it jerks and goes, Mines going in for a sevice soon so i'll see what they think!

PetrolDave Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Would be worth getting someone with VAG-COM to see what fault codes the engine ECU has stored, if any. Foot down, wait then respond sounds like classic turbo lag - has this engine got a variable vane turbo? I'm wondering if the variable vanes on that may be stuck?
