The story so far, if you're curious...

We're close to proving Autoshite more desirable than Alfas! Keep voting people... ?

Did you work out why the Audi was hunting at idle?

[NorfolkNWeigh]

I was just about to ask that!

[Angrydicky]

Done!

There's a first time for everything. Never voted for a doozil in my life!

The answer to LP's and my question appears in the Captain's linked article; a secondhand MAF sensor cured it. I'm sure that had been tried by someone before, or maybe we all assumed it had! That picture of me without a beard looks weird, I'd shaved it off for the first time in more than 10 years that day and haven't shaved since , I only recognise myself because of the t-shirt.

The MAF (brand new from eBay) cured the power loss issue Richard's daughter experienced, not the hunting. It still hunts, but I think getting someone with VCDS to increase the revs at idle by 50rpm will help. Suspect a worn pump but upping the idle will mask it.

It's currently sitting in mild disgrace on the Bromley Pageant showfield as the aux belt snapped leaving the M25! If I can't find one at the show it'll be Big Yellow Taxied home. No big deal though.
