Help wanted : Audi A6 1998 1.8T Auto stalling when hot
When the engine is hot and I am trying low speed maneouvres, the engine
stalls. If I place the car in neutral and rev the engine and let it settle, it hunts to the idle speed, but intitially it hunts too low. In the case where it is in Drive at the low rev range the engine can stall. Usually happens when pulling away at junctions or traffic lights. This is not a problem when the engine is cold. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. Cheers Grem |

Grem,
You wouldn't have a K&N air filter installed by any chance, would you? Cheers!

Sounds like a dirty throttle body. Try cleaning it with throttle body
cleaner. Probably a lot of gunk in there.

Symptoms are still there, the air mass flow fix has certainly improved the performance, but there is still some hunting for idle when cold but slight improvement when hot. The garage inform me that there are no other faults being shown on diagnostics. The symptoms are a damped oscilation until the throttle finds its correct position. My uninformed guess is that it could be a feedback a sensor problem. Someone mentioned a sticky throttle body, I wonder if it could be mechanical. Thanks for all your replies. Gremilex |
