The wife called to say the 8 stalled twice today! This was within 400yrds from leaving the house? (couple hundred yrds, stalled and then couple hundred yrds stalled again)? It was faultless afterwards. I have started the car a few times recently only for it to stall straight away (no immob light tho).

She (the 8!) is well over due a service, but is the likely to be the prob?

She got a good thrapping last night (the 8 y’fool! We’re married) so that might have gotten rid of a few cobwebs UHOH7.GIF? But do I remember a thread where the MAF (or summit) effected the gearbox? The box has become quite thumpy at times. Its been about 40k since the last ATF change and again, I think I read on here that 40k was the mileage between changes recommended....

Any offers?

I had an identical problem on my old A4 a few years ago and after hours of investigation I found out it was the reader coil on the ignition. Basically the part that reads the chip in your key. It's a semi-common fault in Audi's across the board I hear but not an expensive part to replace.

If I knew the asnwer to that, I might not be asking the TSN gang for help! grin.gif Coil pack are summit I have not thought of tho! Thanks 169144-ok.gif Any test 4that?

Anyone with VAGCom in the East London/Essex area want to trade a bottle of Single Malt a few mins checking for fault codes?

Yeah she starts up. Sometimes she needs a couple of cranks. Thats all. She stalled on me this morn about 30secs after starting up and pulling away. I opened the door to see if I could here the fuel pump. I could here a gurgling sound(?) but could not tell from where the noise was coming blush.gif

TB = Throttle Bodies does it? But whats ISV? blush.gif

It does seem a bit all over the place when it starts, but if its hunting (not badly) I dont think it stalls.

ISV = Idle stabilisation valve, it get carbon and crap stuck in there and gets blocked.Its located at the back of the engine to the left near the TB, it allows a set mass of air to by pass the TB when the TB closes(when you take your foot off the go go pedal). If thats block it cuts out.

Do a ssearch on ISV on TSN we've covered this topic before 169144-ok.gif

With reference to other post about fuel pump

Where did you hear the bubbling sound from, the tank? if so how much fuel is the gauage registering? If its below 1/3 then top it up to about 1/2 with some cans and if she starts up then, oh oh frown.gif its that seal in the tank or one of the corregated pipes UHOH7.GIF

or try starting it by spraying some easy start into the air inlet as close to the TB as possible
