Re: 98 A4 1.8t Sport starting problems
The first thing you should do is pull the codes to see what the system thinks is
wrong. Don't spend money and time on parts without the information.
About all I would do before pulling the codes is to look for obvious problems
like cracked vacuum lines and broken wires. You could unplug the MAF to see if
the connection is dirty or wet but more than that requires pulling the codes.

Re: 98 A4 1.8t Sport starting problems
I will have a look this weekend, thanks chaps - But seeing as it said
'Weak Skey signal, do you really think that coulc be associated with
such things as cracked vacume pipes ??? I will let you know how I get
on.....
What do you mean by 'Pull codes' ?? Is that not what they should have
done at the dealership ??? Even they seemd quite vague as to what the
problem could be.....
Cheers

Re: 98 A4 1.8t Sport starting problems
The dealer has a diagnostic system that interrogates the ECU for fault codes.
The system can also be purchased by individuals from an after market source for
about $300US
