Engine trembles SolvedSolved

Audi A4 2006  212000 miles
Hi, I have an Audi a4 2006 and what it happens to it is that, when cold, the engine trembles. Once the engine warms up, it does not do it any longer. What can it be?

It might be the coils that are failing. In my case, I have just changed them, and the trembling disappeared. If it only shakes when starting it, my mechanic told me that it might be that there is too much soot in the engine.

Ok, thank you Jule, I will check what you are telling me.

Engine noise

Audi A4 2003
When I bought my Audi fsi, I really thought I was buying the best of Audi, but it certainly leaves a lot to be desired. After three months of buying it, I noticed that there was a cadential noise in the engine, and that such cadence increased when accelerating. I was told it was the fuel pump that was failing and, since then, I've already changed 2 fuel pumps, 1 temperature probe, all the injectors and the common rail, but the noise is still there. It has also been checked if it was an electronic failure, but apparently it is not. So the problem is not yet solved and the warranty is about to expire. What else can I do?

It is an ordinary noise the one you are hearing, even more if it is diesel.

Does not start

Audi A4 2002  157000 miles
I was manipulating the spark plugs coils when, suddenly, one of wires of the cylinder number 4 contacted with another and, apparently, that blocked the throttle body, as the engine has not started since then. Is there anyone who can give me a helping hand? Thank you in advance.

Try disconnecting the injectors wires and starting it that way. If it does, then connect the wires back and only start running the engine and accelerating the car. If this works, it is probable that the spark plugs harness is the one that is failing. Hope it helps you.

Electrical system failure

Audi A4 2002
In 2004, when driving a long distance, the vehicle suddenly lost power, the accelerator stopped responding with its evident risk, and the EPC light turned on. It was momentarily solved by changing 4 spark plugs and 4 ignition coils. But, after 20 days, the car started having the same failures again. I took it to another mechanic this time, who replaced the fuel pump and told me the spark plugs and ignition coils had nothing to do with my problem. Actually, he explained to me that my real problem with the fsi is in the fuel, which needs to be of 99 octanes. However, this fuel is not available in my country, so there is nothing I can do to solve it. So, check carefully before buying an fsi.

In my 1800 2001 A4B5 i cleaned my MAF sensor (Mass Air Flow) sensor, it had fuzzy grey stuff on it. It, and it fixed that problem. It took a security Torx screwdriver bit to take its two screws out. The MAF sensors in the plastic air intake tubing after the air filter. I used spray in Carby cleaner... DON'T use spray in Carby cleaner!!! Its solvent will dissolve the glue around the plastic plate beside the sensor...
However, on mine that glue had cracked & the solvent did clean the actual sensor, and by using its glue dissolving powers, I was able to reform the glue & reglue the plastic plate back on. The glues similar to tree sap in ways.

Smell of burning, car overheating on the shortest journeys

Audi A4 2011 1.9  180000 miles
My car was called back for an emissions problem since I got that done in December my car has not been right... Shortest journeys causes my fan to go crazy when car is turned off as if its over heating. There is no problem with thermostat. I find when I drive with the heater on and when I get out of car there is a very bad burning smell like rubber burning... I have had car hooked up to faults machine and nothing showing up please help I'm afraid to drive it now 😭

Hydraulic lifter rattle when 1st starting in the morning or if standin

Audi A4 2002 2ltr petrol avant a4 auto tip 76000 miles
Recently had major service , with so called correct oil, but came back and rattle developed , so put 1/2 pint of magnetic oil in her and then half bottle of noisy hydraulic lifter oil from b & q superstore , could not beleive my eyes when I saw this , so anyway after 2 days , fingers well crossed the nose as disappeared , also I now rev engine when turning car off, just like we used to with old motors, but well this may be contributing to the lifter noise going ! Please god let it come back, also car is running supreme and the engine power as defiantly increased since major service , I have cherished my Audi over the years though , hopefully it will battle on for years to come ! Try this method before large garage repairs and please let me know the outcome.
