Its really easy! Have a rag handy and magnetic torx bit holder. Its a very common problem.

It started off exactly as you describe, started off quite minor and not often and then got worse and worse, but it started off like yours.

Its worth a try, cost me £55 for both magnetic camshaft adjusters. But I would also look at your diverter valve as they are prone to wear too, you can change all three yourself for less than £100 I would also note something else which has improved since changing the magnetic camshaft...

All fitted, and after a quick drive it appears your a genius @Marky79 as it appears to have fixed the problem I did compare the old and the new and the centre pin seemed alot looser in the old units, I also just moved the expansion tank aside for easier access. Any idea why they fail? It...

Parts arrived today from Autdoc (took a bit longer than expected, I guess because they are coming from Germany and also Cornona) I am going to fit them today (fingers crossed!)

Thanks I have ordered two from them, hopefully they will come soon :) I will let you know how I get on. Where about are they located? I know where the one is I think but not sure on the second one. Thanks

Did you ever get this fixed?, what was wrong?

I need your help please I have a 2015 manual Audi S3 8V (Standard, no engine mods) Recently it has started hunting when on idle, the rev needle does not move but you can feel the car hunting and it feels like it's going to stall. It only does it on idle, and seems to drive OK still. VCDS...

Ok, im getting some fantastic help and guidance on this thanks to m rol and others, and I think I have everything I need to do the install now (I will take pictures and write up and guide when I am confident I have everything in place and its correct) I have a 2015 S3 Sportback with LED...

It can 100% be done, I retrofitted the front parking sensors to my A3 8V Sline (before buying my current S3) and its in the coding, you can also change the speed which is activates from, so below 8mph my front sensors activate. If you drop me a PM when you have your Ross tech I will send you...
