Audi 80 problem
Hi,
I own a 10 year old Audi 80 SE.
For the last year I have been experiencing a small problem with the car.
I drive my car everyday on the motorway doing about 30 miles a day.
Occasionally the car will start to judder and lose power, and when this
happens I can only get a max speed of about 40-50 mph, no matter how much I
press the gas pedal. It will stay for a about two or three minutes and then
the power will just snap back suddenly. It has never stalled.
No warning lights come on, so I have no idea what could be causing this.
I think, but I'm not sure, that the car seems to behave better when the tank
is full of petrol rather than half full.
This only happens about once a fortnight, and I don't think any one activity
makes it happen.
Can you please help with some suggestions, thanks.
Cheers
O.

Normality will be restored once we work out what normality actually is.

The fuel tank is ventilated via a carbon filter.
Have a look there or open the filling cap for a sec after 1/4 tank is used.

It's not a service part but the tube can be twisted or clogged.
It's there because the tank neds an open air outlet for vapors and for air
coming in since the level gets lower it will crate a vacuum.
It depends on the type and country where it is located.
