Good Evening All :mrgreen:
First post here after a friend recently acquired a 2000 Mk1 TT - after sourcing a few parts due to the below issues!!! can anyone tell me what the differences are between the APX and BAM engines?
This particular mk1 has a twin exhaust, engine code APX. During the viewing, we noticed it was smoking under load, due to the oil seals on the turbo being worn/shot - A deal was struck and a new K04 ordered along with all the relevant gaskets, nuts and bolts from audi and the work completed by a competent and trusted mechanic.
After the turbo has been run in, the car developed a faulty coil pack number 4, diagnosed by the same mechanic. this has been replaced only to find the car is misfiring under load. VAGCOM indicated a faulty N75, so off we went to Audi, new N75 fitted, and the same issue is occuring of a misfire under load. The mechanic has again been contacted, and advised a replacement mass air flow sensor. This evening this has been replaced, battery disconnected to clear any codes and tested, only to find the same fault occuring.......... [smiley=bigcry.gif]
Slowly the frustration is building....!!! :evil:
Any advise welcomed, but i think a coil pack is breaking down under load, would this be logged in VAGCOM if it is only intermittent whilst driving? As the misfire is not occuring on idle or when revving from idle etc...
Ta Muchly - look forward to seeing you all around the shows and meets - and if you beeped on the M4 today at us - HI!
