96 A4 2.6 slightly erratic idle
Hello,
I have a 1996 A4 B5, 2.6 v6 ABC engine, just recently I have noticed that when the engine tics over at idle it is a little bit more lumpy than normal, the taco is moving between 800 rpm & 600 rpm, where before it was quite smooth, also when driving at low speed, 30 to 40 mph in 4th it seems to slightly misfire a bit, fuel consumption is ok, I have replaced the plugs & air filter, my vag- com interface shows no problems or error codes, anyone any ideas what the problem may be? Steve. |

Just a guess would be dirty fuel injectors. Use a bottle of Teckron fuel
injector cleaner in a tank of gas.

My old A4 2.6 behaved very similarly when it was just over two years old. The dealer replaced one fuel injector (foc) and it was fine thereafter. -- Peter Bell (Note Spamtrap - To reply, replace 'invalid' with 'bellfamily') |
