Hi, gents.
My 1.8T Y2K bug began misfiring, while on the road. A Snap-on scanner could
only point at cyl. 2 misfire and could not reveal manuf. proprietary codes.
Drove home 160 km (100 Miles). Now I'm ready to investigate and most likely
swap a new ign. coil or more and the spark plugs. Oil is almost due for
change, so I'll do that. Any other things to look out for after this
situation?
'02 A4 3.0 q threw an "Oil" image, which seemed to be a fluke. Oil was
enough and I actually ended up overfilling it, because with this black
round plastic dipstick I find it hard to tell the level. I use a piece of
paper to lay the dipstick on and see the oil level. Anyone found any good
way to tell the oil level? Thought of painting the dipstick a lighter
color, but not sure, if a paint would last at 130 deg. C and instead get
into the oil passages.
Any advice muchly appreciated.
Thanks and happy motoring,
Tihol
