Okay thanks for your clear analysis, btw what will happen if the correct oil spec is used at this point.

Oil will short... so no point using correct oil too late ....

For VW/Audi with direct fuel injection, troubleshooting is beyond an average DIY person or mechanic.

You can check my signature and contact me.

EnterpriseMan:
Yea, exertly.. it happens in the mornings and after about 10secs, it stablises.. So if it's the fuel pressure issue, how do I fix it?

Smartchoiice:
Falsehood. Utter falsehood. Just market your business...

Go through my posts. I am not into childish arguments as you are used to. All you see me do on this platform is contribute what I know. I wasn't talking to you anyway. You don't know me and I don't know you. What is your problem with my business? I do guess that you don't even know anything about the system that I was referring to, and hence your rant and rude manners.
This level of immaturity is nauseating.
I am a very peaceful person and I don't like problems with people but congratulations as you go down in history as the one bad enough to make it happen. I will leave the rest of the argument for you to do with yourself as I won't give you the attention that you are looking for.

Have you checked that the sensor is getting signal + power from the ecu.

Hello how is that done?

Model: Audi A4 2010 quattro premium
Transmission: Dual 6 speed automatic/manual
Engine: Turbo v4

whenever I start the car, i notice a slight vibration which later dies down. someone told me that maybe some of the engine seats are weak and need replacement, but I have to be sure.. it's a very beautiful car and works perfectly, and damn very fast. got it to hit 201km/h from Abuja to Benin. I just need to know what causes the vibration.

Thanks in advance

Have you scanner the car, you may have cold start misfire codes in there and this caused usually caused by build of carbon in the intake valves. What’s the mileage on the car?

Phedam:
Hello guys,
I use a 2007 model VW jetta.
I just noticed some days back that while accelerating, my car suddenly jerks violently.
Let me explain better, If the car is at, say 40km/hr and I start accelerating,
when it gets to like 60 it stops increasing speed and starts jerking violently,
if I take my leg a bit away from the pedal and move at constant speed (60km/hr) for about 30 seconds
and then accelerate again it will respond to the acceleration until I get to like 80km/hr and it jerks again.
and the same cycle occurs at 100km/hr.

Please is there anybody with an idea of what can be going wrong with the car.
Responses will be appreciated.
Thanks

Please provide more information on this car, what’s the engine type, is it 2.0T turbo fsi, 2.5L MPI or the 1.6 fsi.

Rotiix:

Still not late to change; use oil flush on your next service and start using the synthetic oil.

Good morning all,

Hello all!

I'm dedicating this thread to owners of Audi and Volkswagen models.

What a great idea. I'm just knowing this here.
Please help me out.

My car is as follows :
01) Volkswagen
02) Golf 4
03) 1.6 Ltr
04) Manual
05) 2007/2010. I'm not sure of the exact year
06) Euro.

Car starts normally first hand in the morning. Drive it maybe 5 minutes or so and then like you stopped to buy something on the road side. To start it, it would take a while up to 10 - 15 minutes to start normally again.
It starts, engine cranks, fires it, but it stalls. Sometimes if I fire it and drive it, it's like it jerks with revolving sound, and stalls, at times the Rev meter does not move immediately. It is always difficult for me and killed my last battery. I'm afraid it's going to do so again.
Kindly find away to help me please with solution or what could be wrong.
Thank you.

Have you scanned this car? Don't think Siena is around anymore.

Ok, I don't even know about the scanning process and afraid of the cost. I was thinking I would read of similar issues or somebody with the same problem.

Ask around in your location for a technician with a scanner. An 07-10 VW will likely throw a code that will give you an idea of what you are dealing with. About the costs, simply ask the technician before he starts.

Hello house, can anyone kindly inform me of the reliability issues of a 2010 or 2013 Audi A4. I will appreciate your sincere opinion and advice.
