Power loss on 2001 S4
This morning was the coldest of the winter so far after a
moderate ice storm over the weekend. Driving my 2001 S4 to work I noticed occasional power loss. Keeping a constant pressure on the gas I would feel occasional slight deceleration. Idle was steady. Maximum power acceleration may have been slightly low but I'm not sure. After parking there was a very faint smell as when oil spilled during an oil change bakes off. Any guesses what's wrong? -- John Carr ) |

Power loss on 2001 S4
I'd say give it a bit of time, see what you experience the next couple of
days. It could just be a short term extreme weather annoyance. You don't say what temperature range you were in though. Chris "John F.

Anyway, it ran OK on the way home when the temperature was closer to freezing. The problem might have been ice in a fuel line. -- John Carr ) |

The problem might have been ice in a > fuel line. Remember AudiŽs standard anti-freeze in the coolant only works to around -25C. So maybe you experienced some slight freezing in the coolant. The G12+ can be topped up with water...and if you did that earlier, youre lowering the anti-freezeŽs maximum. -25C is DAMN cold *brrr*. And with winds too...iŽd choose a fireplace and a biiig whisky anytime ;o) -- Gio |
