Being put on diagnostics on Wednesday to see if anything shows up but just thought I'd see if anybody else had suffered similar symptoms..:)

Having read the countless gearbox issues that seem to affect pre 2006 cars I was wondering if anybody has encountered similar problems to what I'm experiencing? Car was parked overnight on an incline, first thing in the morning started engine, Put in to D, accelerated but there was no drive and...

Wow, same old story with plenty of other folk suffering the SAME issues as me, terrible. I've been through the same thing guys, pulling my hair out at the denial that the symptoms/emmision light/dpf light was related to the injector recall. See the following thread...

Was waiting a while to see how car would behave after a few weeks rather than just think it's cured after one day of being good!! Have had car back a few weeks now and all seems well, hasn't done the kangaroo thing once. By process of elimination the Master Tech started to look at the EGR as...

Sorry, more typos. When I mention above that it only became apparent after the recall work was done, I mean there were NO symptoms before the injector work was carried out, therefore it will be an uncanny coincidence that this hose/pipe turns out to be the cause of my problems. Also, to...

wait for it.... just been told by Service Manager that they have found some vacuum hose/pipe at the back of the engine that is split? They are leaving it overnight and going to do the 'from cold' test tomorrow morning.. I wait with extreme apprehension as to whetehr this is successful!! Don't...

Thanks mate, will pass this on as I am now in communication with Audi Uk. Found some more links too, just from this site!! http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/audi-s4-a4-a4-cab-b7-chassis/158962-audi-a4-170-2-0-tdi-problems.html...

Thanks Max, can you define the reason why the symptoms are only apparent when the car is cold?

Having re-read your text I'm a little confused, it's easily done!..:-) are you saying that Audi have told you that the car will regenerate the DPF from much lower running temps, i.e cold?! This may explain why the kangarooing etc is intermittent and not a daily occurence and that the first half...

It occurs normally between 1200-1500rpm when crawling 1st/2nd/3rd gear but you can accelerate through it hence it's more noticeable when plodding along in traffic or car parks etc. The master tech who came out yesterday hsa mentioned the egr as a possibility, amongst other things..I shall be...

Yes mate, mine is a 2006 tdi 170PD. Sorry I didn't realise your symptoms were also from cold. Interesting that Audi uk have admitted that there is a problem. Do you have anything in writing/email that I could have a copy of? That way, if the comms between my dealer and Audi uk don't reflect...

Funnily enough the technician who came out with me today and finally wirtnessed the kangarooing has a seatnleon with the same engine code as myself and also has a hesitation which he says is the dpf regenerating more often like you mention Chris, and his car didn't do it before the recall work...

Maybe I should take a drive to Cardiff and have them take a look!! Lol...:-)

Is yours a 170PD out of interest? Cheers, to reiterate, my car had zero Dpf/juddering/kangarooing problems before the dreaded recall work was done!!

My £250 has been spent on a exhaust manifold seal (£5 part, £103 labour and diagnosis),car no different. 3 weeks later then the emissions light came on/limp mode etc and a new dpf sensor and regeneration required, £147, car still the same, except on test drive and journey home, else I wouldn't...
