Hi all,
Wondering if you can help diagnose a problem/point me in the right direction.
Recently I've noticed a couple of issues with my B6 A4 1.8T (190ps) which may/may not be related:
My engine has started making a whining noise upon start up, it's idling slightly higher than usual too (1200RPM rather than ~800) - this stops after a few minutes and the car idles normally. I've narrowed this down to a potential secondary air pump issue but as yet I've been unable to have a proper look/scan for fault codes.
Today, when coasting up to a roundabout in 3rd, I went to put the power down and nothing, pedal to the floor 3 or 4 times (with no engine noise) before eventually it came back to life.
I've noticed this problem a couple of times over the last week, usually when accelerating in lower gears. On the whole she's driving normally but I'd like to know what I'm potentially looking at.
As I say, I've been unable to scan but I've asked around for anyone in the Nottingham area with a VAGCOM/VCDS, failing that I'll buy a lead & have a look myself.
Cheers
