All it said was “EGR Circuit fault” but everything was all moving fine

So I’ve had the coil engine light coming up on the dash every now and then for an EGR fault. Had my car carbon cleaned and diagnostics said EGR circuit fault, EGR, DPF and turbo were all moving smoothly, but the light still comes on now and then and car goes into limp mode, any ideas? Mechanic...

2011 mate

Heard somewhere else it could be the DMF?

Thanks mate, what’s that exactly and how much does it cost?

it’s a 61 plate (2011) so might be me. Heard it is quite a tricky job but still looks like £600 is too expensive

I’ve had it just over a year, done about 10k and haven’t had it done but I don’t think the owner before me looked after it very well so god knows when it last had a change

My A3, S tronic gearbox makes some clunky noises when mostly downshifting to second and pulls quite sharp when it’s dropped down almost like I’m tapping thenbrakes. Does it sound like I need a gearbox service or could it be something else?

2.0 TDI, mate I did think about looking on eBay but don’t really know what I’m after

Yes mate

So I lost power in my car and the coil warning light on the dash came on, took it to my local garage and he’s quoted me £600+ to replace the EGR valve, does that seem about right? I’ve looked into it and some people say to delete it, is that a good move? Or is it worth getting a second hand one...

Audi A3, 2.0, TDI, 61 plate, 69k on the clock. Been having a few issues lately and the first one sounds like air in somewhere it shouldn’t be.. when I put my foot down accelerating there’s a whistling kind of noise like air is somewhere? Not sure if it’s anything to do with the engine...

Yeah it’s most noticeable dropping down too 3rd, 2nd and 1st really, it brakes smoothly until it drops a gear down and it really judders

I’ve got a 61 plate Audi A3 TDI, Auto and when I’m slowing down, gently on the break the car really pulls every time a gear drops down and even sometimes when I’m accelterating slow it judders? Any ideas?

ive got an Audi A3, 61 plate, 2.0L, TDI. Need top up my oil but not sure what oil to get, did have a look in the manual but I don’t really understand. It says something about VW 507 00. So what oil would I need to buy at a reasonable price? Thanks
