Hello,
The engine (138K) rocks alot on tick over (warm or cold) and sounds really rough to me, having never had an A2 to compare against I thought the 3 cyclinders was reason. However having seen video of the 1.4 tdi for sale today on market ( what a beauty) with that ticking over smoother than a melting George Clooney wax model, Im now concerned Im on borrowed time.
It goes into varying modes of lumpy when coming to a stop (rev counter stays smooth tho) and putting the clutch in and out causes a lot of sounds to go. There is the odd random knock noise too. With light aplpication of throttle it feels lumpy then smooths out.
Im thinking its clutch flywheel time?
I had a check of the fueling of the injector and they were +/- 2.0 mg/str, which I was told was too high, should be about 0.2 +/-? Can someone confirm? Apparently this has them adjsuting constantly for more fuel less fuel and doent help the smoothness.
I didnt have any codes to clear.
Ill pop out a do a video and try and add it in a bit (ill let neighbours sleep!) Any ideas what size video limits MB the forum can handle?
