lumpy cold idle - PD170?

Featured Replies

Anyone else have this issue? Absolutely fine at all other times, but it's lumpy on a cold start until revved or driven off. Also never seems to start as nicely as the mk1 Fabia VRS.

Injectors changed in Feb, Shark stage Obe with DPF delete.

I bet you this happened after the injectors. Exactly the same in my A4 I just sold.

My PD170 is also rougher from cold since the injector change.

It's also is more reluctant to start too, especially now as the temperatures begin to drop.

Thanks guys, will have a look and maybe chat with the main dealer.

The dealers will say its fine and insist it will be mechanical if there is a problem and charge you.

I found a quick blip of the throttle on startup sorted out the worst of the lumpiness. Once I was away and a bit warm it was fine.

I bet you also get a little white smoke and very putrid fumes too. The fumes really made me think twice about the keeping it. I knew there was something wrong with the new injectors but how can you prove it? I told the Audi dealer I thought the cam timing might need adjusting with the new injectors but they wouldn't budge.

Try giving BG244 a try its apparently a very effective engine cleaner removing carbon deposits and alike helping to sort such issues. Give it a google
