Evening all.
Just taking time out from banging my head against the wall.
My S3 hasn't been behaving for a couple of weeks now - finally got chance today to have a decent look.
Basically the power is down (boosting, but air is being dumped as I ask for more boost)
While accelerating, getting a couple of misfires in 4th, 5th & 6th gears
In any gear, I struggle to reach 5k revs
Coolant temp gauge sitting around 70/75 ... (normally steady 90, or drops a bit at high speed/low revs)
I found a small leak on one of the vac lines, so replaced the pipe.
Changed the spark plugs - plugs 1 & 2 were covered in oil (on plug 1, just the tip of the plug was visible above the oil !). Cleaned out the holes and put new plugs in.
MPG seems fine, averaging around 31/32 combined.
Took it for a spin, still exactly the same. Will get it on VagCom at the weekend.
Any ideas in the mean time ?
