Outof the blue today, my A3 (1.6 petrol 2008 8P) started running lumpy and juddering at low speed. Engine light came on, joined with the ABS light.. Called RAC who confirmed it was an intermittent fault and that the coil pack, HD leads and spark plugs would need replacing. There are a few guides for replacing coil packs but not for the 1.6 8P
ToRecap. Your Audi A3 may be burning oil for various reasons, such as an issue with the engine's piston rings or improper breaking-in during the initial use of your vehicle, leading to poorly seated piston rings. Watch out for signs like blue exhaust smoke, as it indicates oil is entering the combustion chamber.Thenew entry-level Audi A3 is aggressively priced, but is it better than the top-selling VW Golf SE? the 1.6-litre TDI engine is economical, easily returning more than 50mpg on our 400-mile
Theloose chain is to blame for multiple occurances of catastrophic engine failure. Audi was forced to offer settlement offers, including an extended warranty, after a series of lawsuits were filed. causing the engines to fail.
