Hey all,
After reading into multiple forums and topics about the CoD engines I decided to open up my own topic since my "problems" didnt meet the ones I've read about online.
So I'm coming of an A3 8L and later had some A3 8P's in my posessions and now made the step to the 8V. The step from 8P to 8V is a big one in terms of technology since the 8V is packed full of new features that the 8P simply doesn't have.
So I got a good deal on a 1.4TFSI CoD occasion the other day and bought it. I scanned it with VCDS, no engine faults coming up so I was quite pleased with the new car looks and drivability. However, in the first week or so I noticed the car dipping sometimes. Especially when I drove a while and kept it around 2000RPM and then wanted to speed to overtake a car or something. The first few times I was like, mmh, maybe this happens once but since it was happening more and more I got back to the garage it sold me and let them have a closer look.
3 days later they ringed me up and told me they have solved the issue. When I asked him about it they told me they didnt saw any errorcode and just cleaned the EGR valve. Made a testdrive and didn't had the car dip in any way. Full of good hope I stepped in and for half a week it seemed to work untill a few days ago. It dipped for just a split second and then goes it way up. It's best to describe as the car "chokes/microstutter" for a milisecond and then goes it way. The RPM doesn't drop down and the car just flawlessly goes up in RPM after.
Discouraged and dissapointed I went online and searched the forums if anybody had simillar issues. I then came on some US forums with a guy having the same problem. He indicates that going from a 2 cilinder mode to a 4 cilinder mode (CoD) can give a stutter. He also indicates that when you have your car tunes (chipped) this can increase. Now my previous car was a 1.4TFSI 8P and this is the 1.4TFSI 8V it feels A LOT faster so I'm thinking it's chipped to but no way to tell for sure ofcourse.
So, after this long *** story I'm kinda sitting here with a few questions in mind.
1. Are these symptons familliar for anybody else having this engine/car?
2. Can CoD be turned off with either VCDS, ODIS or Kess?
3. Are there any other ways to reduce the dip other then keeping the foot down on the gas haha.
Love to hear back from you guys.
The car is a 1.4TFSI (CoD) 2014 model. I'm from The Netherlands so to track more vehicile information to can go to the government website (https://ovi.rdw.nl/) and enter my serialplate: 4-SZR-75.
Just let Google translate the page to English since it's in Dutch original obviously.
