I'll be having a look at things tonight once skyes gone to bed. She wants her minimoto fixing up too so I'll be getting some work done on that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since we’re doing guesses, I’ll bet it’s a plug or an ignition cable Looks like a nice Sunday morning ride. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 A coilpack would also explain the random non starting after having warmed up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could well be plugs, I'll take them out tonight and gap them and give them a clean up, but it's on my list of things to get on with this evening since yesterday I gutted the garage out and organised it so I can now get around the bikes and get to my tools so that is a plus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it does miss but mainly when it's up to temp so could well be fouled plugs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busabeast Posted March 31 Author Share Posted March 31 2 minutes ago, Marcel said: Easy way to tell...low revs.. high gears and slowly come on to it...if it's missing..you'll definitely hear the misses coming from the exaust... There is a hesitation as low rpm and the throttle response is quite snatchy, so I'll have a check over the plugs/leads and airfilter tonight and clean things up abit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catteeclan Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 3 hours ago, busabeast said: Possibly, it idles fine when it's cold but once it warms up it starts hunting/running on 3 cyl and then the idle climbs from 1.5k to 2k rpm and blipping the throttle the revs don't drop to idle sharp that gradually come down. I'd be surprised if its an injector issue its more a throttle body issue I think Sounds a bit like an air leak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The audi is a family car, its a 2l tdi estate so not exactly what you'd call extravagant yeah maybe upmarket slightly but I don't want a mundano or a picarsehole or any of that lower class heap of shite. I'd have liked an xf estate but they are abit more money than I'd like to pay. And they are alot more in road tax than the audi and the audi is better on fuel so that's why I got what I got Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing's what it used to be as most of the components for all cars are made in you know where. Yes they are running cleaner while the electronic/mechanical components are operating within spec but miles take their toll. Still stay the best cars made were between 1996 and 2006 over here. The Mondeo is a very underrated car, have a look Busa. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old x-type was mondeo based, the xf wasn't mondeo apart from maybe the front suspension, and obviously the engine was a Ford v6 but the rest of the car wasn't Ford based 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
