when car is warm.. or been more then 1 or 2 hours havnt started... the car stalls... and smells like gasssss ... i stop because it smells real bad... wait 15 min... goof around then it finaly starts... feels like something stuck in the injectors... not sure.. never had a car do that... also feels like someone is holding the car back. sometimes the turbos goo crazy and spoon like nutz... not sure if any of this has related problems... my audi allroad has 105 000 km

latly it stoped... cooler temps... but i start car fine... back up move forward then the car wants to start.. slam it in N slam the gass... then it fights a bit.. then come back my engine... and my car is 35% more prime then before... very wierd.

Did you scan the ECU for any DTC's or fuel trim issues? that will help figure it out.
If its making a new strange gurgling sound, it could be your DV dying, it just happened to me and the only DTC it threw was MAF signal high. similar sounding symptoms with the stalling etc.

ahh ok ill mention that to my mech and read up on it some more. How much did it cost you to replace it?


this happends radomly. more often on short distances when engine stoped for 5 to 15 mins.
then it wont happend for a wile... sometimes the car is about to stall soo i give it more gas... smokes like hell.. kinda of funny... then goes fine again... all my gauges are fine and heck ol and other fuilds are fine... really fustrating, especial when yo have a date...ha

and thanks all for reply.

The stock DV is a cheap plastic valve that probably cost no more than 38 cents to manufacture, but the dealer wanted $125 for it and cheapest at any auto parts store in the area was $80. You can get very inexpensive all metal and adjustable ones on eBay, so i went that route- $25 shipped.

Actually it turned out the DV was only a minor contributor to my sympoms (identical), the major cause was a dying MAF sensor. its an easy thing to check, you can pull the connector off it (it's in the air box) and the ECU will then ignore it and run with backup fuel maps instead. if that cures your symptoms, you just found the cause.
It's safe to drive without the MAF a little, but if its bad, change it asap as fuel economy will suffer, as will the CAT, and the engine may go too a bit lean or rich so don't drive it hard while the MAF is disconnected.

Yeah i think i know where my MAF is... i changed my intake to for a nicer one. turbos work alot more now. but the problem was before i even changed my air intake.

thanks alot for reply.. for sure im going to change those parts since they dont cost that much.

oh btw. I am buying an other audi... 1998 a4 manual 2.8 ... smashed front might need a bit of fram work... but i bought the dam car for 1200$ and all the rest is frikin good shape.. apart the front end smashed... parkinglot acident...(not me) lol
any advice... like ge rid of it.. or do this to it... the engine remark has 200k on it.. but my friend said it doesnt take oil and runs like a charm... was planning to swap it anyways...
