well the lambdas were a direct fit so that idea fell out of the window. Auto electrician had a look around and couldnt see any issues (although tbh he didnt seem that clued up) took the car out for a blast and at first the car was a pig, but after a couple of tries it got better but still has a misfire but now at a higher rev range. at one point all but one cylinder was firing, but on engine restart all cylinders purred, reved hard and again down to one cylinder but fine after restart...wierd! could the fuel be off? the car was sat for a few months over winter with half a tank of tesco unleaded. guys at work said this could be the cause :shrug: Im a little surprised if fuel can go "off" that quickly but cant rule it out. thoughts from you guys?

- drivers side rubber door seal, the upper one that runs round the window frame and which the door closes on - long shot... the drivers side door/ window seal, the horizontal one with a felt inner face, unbent! - rear vw badge - parcel shelf strap - handbrake trim, not the handle the plastic one. - vr6 dipstick I should be able to help with these. let me get back to you

very nice!

he's already explained interesting bit of info bud!

could you clarify which bit you need? I may have it if its the part that allows the oil filter to attach to the block/oil galleries

ive got one failing that, looked in good nick when I last looked

i have a couple of these, just confirm with one you need as they differ slightly on some vr's

hmm, the plot thickens!

Thanks for the offer. Maybe if the auto electrician has no luck I'll take you up on the offer. plus you know your stuff with these engines etc. I had a look and the lambda part numbers and they are below, do these seem right? If I had wrong ones fitted would i get these symptoms. i ask as SWICT did some "tweaks" to the lambda data iirc, just wondering if these are now incompatible?? ---------- Post added at 7:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 6:33 PM ---------- a little confused here, my lambdas were picked out by TPS last year but differ in part number to these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AUDI-TT-3-2-V6-LAMBDA-SENSOR-022906265-NEW-AUDI-PART-/140538455876?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item20b8bea744#ht_1025wt_954 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AUDI-TT-3-2-V6-LAMBDA-SENSOR-022906265A-NEW-AUDI-PART-/380334446804?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item588db318d4#ht_1025wt_954 have I got the wrong lambdas fitted?

didnt get chance to pull plugs out over the weekend. but am starting to loose hope. would gladly appreciate phone support or hands on support to help diagnose the issue. current thinking is a sensor is faulty but not being shown up on scans, but i have no idea how to check without having to swap out with new (expensive) parts. i'm more than happy to cover costs etc to anyone who can help. ---------- Post added at 12:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:20 PM ---------- just taken the plunge, getting a mobile auto electrician out to have a look at it. :epicfail:

pressure was measured whilst running. What codes do you need to see mate as I've attatched the read out I took on my first post. I would try swapping out sensors but some are expensive (cam shaft sensors are over £100 each!) I did have coil pack issues a while back but I dont think I had lambda sensor issues (again these are newish and expensive to swap out) I will try disconnecting the sensors but am thinking that this wouldnt show up the problem necessarily? iirc Ive done the cam sensors and they caused the engine to die, maf made no difference, lambdas. but will try again methodically this weekend.

checked fpr and pressure was actually slightly low at around 3bar, raised it to 4bar but still have issues. could the low fuel pressure have caused this issue??

not one on there but I should have one lying around. Will give this a check and was set at 4bar last time but may have change (or even failed). vacuum feed looked fine.

really interesting read. Keep it up!

still for sale and will be going on ebay this weekend. PM on its way to you. Worth pointing out that I brought them out of storage the other day and the wheels arent as "mint" as I thought but arent awful either.

Speaking to SWICT, the suggestion is that fuel pressure has changed. Ive not touched the FPR but maybe is come loose or changed flow? will give that a check.

just popped out and had a quick look. the sensor looks snug but I cant get to the plug to check. Will need to take the front end off. I checked the plug gap and set to around 0.8mm ---------- Post added at 9:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 9:11 PM ---------- will look to replace this then if youve had similar symptoms. I would have thought an error code would have popped up though :shrug:

put your detail on it and couriers will give you quotes. They sometime try and outbid each other. its pretty good, used it a couple of time with large items. http://www.shiply.com/

hhmmm, maybe. Ive not touched it but it may have come loose. Did you have these same symptoms Jay? Where is it found, same as the 12v?

Car start and idles fine, and very light throttle up to 2000rpm and is fine however applying more throttle causes the engine to misfire dramatically enough to not allow revs to hit 3000rpm or above. The misfire almost feel/act like a derate or rev limiter, with occasional backfire. See video http://s144.photobucket.com/albums/r180/quicky1980/?action=view&current=MOV_4429.mp4 I fitted brand new audi coils x 6 last year, spark plugs and a new water temp sensor too last year with around 6-10k miles use. Did a quick check by disconnect the coils from each spark plug and each cylinder made the note change I checked the spark plugs and they are black which isnt a surprise as the car stinks of fuel. I've attatched the latest scans. But am a noob with what is all means. Any experts opinions? The issue occurred since having the ecm tweaked by SWICT due to the ecm not adapting (all carried out while the car was stored over winter. Mark at SWICT said hes confident its not the tweak or ecm at fault but Im unsure tbh. Speaking with Mark he's a bit lost with it all too and so am open to any suggestions, ideas from you guys. Throw yours ideas in as I'm open to all possibilities of the problem and methods to fix it. thanks ahead of ti,e ecm scan.pdf ecm scan b.pdf

shame as you are quite far from me. is it worth doing a shiply quote?

decided these will go on ebay this weekend so last chance guys and gals

anyone???

ill try and dig it out, i never used it in the end tbh

fantastic! is this a shell or proper model?
