shark_90 Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Does it change if you put your clutch down? And have you checked to see if it changes under load (i.e. headlights on, aircon on etc)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tenbels21 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 ive got a 2004 2.0 TDI DSG with exactly the same problem. Its been to the stealers, no problem found and no codes shown up. Only happens in neutral and park, as soon as you move into drive and theres strain on the engine it goes. its been like that for about 6 months now and drives perfectly with no loss of power or acceleration. Took it to an audi specialist last week for a service and he told me that one of the injectors is slightly out and cant be adjusted. He advised that if its gonna be replaced then its just as well to replace all 4. But at £500 i'm gonna wait and see what happens. I know he aint b******tting me cos he's also a mate cheers Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
