Yep soundslike one of the coilpacks going...

ONLY get Audi coilpacks ... about £30 each..

Best bet get 2..replace 3 and 4 and then keep the others as spare... cos when they go its only a five min job...

 

Thanks for a very quick response :lol: I thought that was the problem I'll order them from the stealers tomorrow! [smiley=bomb.gif]

 

Does sound like a coil pack has gone. I think they are around £25-£30 from the dealers.

You will need to use vagcom to find out which one has gone or process of elimination - hopefully number 1 as they are quicker to replace. Replacing any of them is probably a DIY job, others more in the know can confirm. It might be worth replacing all four as apparantly when one goes others soon follow.

It's a common fault - nothing for you to panic about but I wouldn't drive the car unless absolutely necessary (to an indy) as this could damage the cat. (so I've been told).

Best of luck.

 

Thanks for that, very helpful

 

Bought 2 coil packs last week they have dropped in price £21 +VAT

 

Thanks Yellow :lol: Is that from Teesside Audi? :?:

 

Check the level of electrolyte in your battery, if its to low it will give off a bad egg smell

 

will do thanks keith

 

Hi, Usually caused by rich mixture, so could be coilpack, is it running rough. Could be engine not getting up to temp,could be thermostat.

the car is running great . did the thermostat about 3weeks ago

 

smell of eggs is usually lamda sensor not communicating with ecu, the cat is probably getting very hot, and the honycombe is burning,,,,,, as others said, needs system check. alan

 

got 4 coil packs form teeside audi £110.42 put them in and the smell is still there. after searching every thing with my nose i think ive found it my washer bottle stinks of eggs i will have to clean it out and see if this elimanates the pong
