I am really tired of this

[Brandon Rogers]

Yes buying every part until you find the culprit will be pretty expensive on
this car...I don't know where you are located - but if you have local people
with 200 20vs or UrS4/S6 cars - see who has some spare parts (sensors, MAF
etc) and see if you can borrow and swap in parts until you find the problem
part...

Good luck-

Brandon

Hi,
Thanks for your replies.
 
Both sensors were changed 3 months ago, car ran fine for about a month or so
and then the problem came back slowly, to the point where it is now. Don't
know about the other sensors you are talking about Robbie, do they have a
different name for Audi?
 
The MAF is a pretty expensive part to get I think, especially if it is not
sure what kind of impact it will have.
 
I let the car sit overnight after what happen yesterday and tried it this
afternoon. Started fine, ran on idle for a few seconds and then started to
be unstable, I gave it some gas, RPM boucing again, not able to reach 4000
RPM or to get the engine to wind up properly, and then if I gave it some
gas, it started backfiring (for the first time).  The new thing about this
is that it happen when the car was cold, a few seconds after startup...
