Help 2003 A4 1.8

[HateCarStickers]

PLEASE HELP ME !?!?
OK I have Super KO4 Turbo upgrade ..... with the works, you know dual intercoolers, injectors, chip, and exhaust...... Blah Blah ... the Neuspeed setup

At first my Ignition coils started burning out like every 2 weeks ... Now just yesterday while putting my car into first gear and easing out the clutch the car stalls, and when I Re-Start, it only runs for a second and then "Konks" out again...... What is up with these cars ... am I alone ... I only have 36,000 miles ..
The dealership asked what upgrades I have I told them just an Exhaust cause now I am fearing they are going to try and stick me with this SHIT ....

Geez I don't think you can blame the car, as in "What is up with these cars?" You've pretty much changed the whole demeanor of the engine. I would look at the install and all of the parts that you changed out first. If you started burning up coils right after the install, chances are something was not right with the install.

Not sure that I would try to get it "fixed" under warranty either, as I am sure you will get shot down just as soon as a tech takes a look at your motor. I'd talk to the installer...

[HateCarStickers]

Yeah I got the upgrades after the purchase so it's not me or the friend that helped me, he has been installing this stuff for years !?!?!?
These problems just started about 2 months ago !?!!?
I think it is the MAF Sensor, or something else in the electrical !?!
I know the dealership wont show me any love .... They should build a faster Audi A4 ... Hell if an Evo can do it why cant I ...........

Sound to me that you stuck your self with this shit.

But Gticrazy is right, try the installer or the maker of the turbo kit and explain the symptoms to them. Looks like you going to pay somewhere to fix this better you get it done right by the people who can fix it properly.

Good luck

I would ask other people that have the same setup and see if anyone else is having the same problems. Going to Neuspeed isn't a bad idea either. If all these problems started after you did the mods, I'd think that's what caused the problems. It's not fair to stick the dealer with that stuff.

[HateCarStickers]

CAN YOU FUCKING GUYS READ ... I have had the mods on the car for more than a year and half now !?!?
These problems started like 2 months ago .... It's not the mods and IT WAS DONE CORRECTLY .............. That's why the Dealer has not mentioned that but they did ask me about the exhaust ... AND I AM NOT TRYING TO STICK THE DEALER WITH ANYTHING.....
It seems like electrical problems that keep shutting down other componets on the CAR ... like the MAF sensor ...
The other thing is I dont know why guys who dont have AUDI A4's are replying to my POST I dont want your guesses to what it might be, I wanted to hear from other Audi A4 OWNERS and drivers with these same MODS to see if they have experienceed any of the same problems ....................

NEUSPEED told me that my upgrades would not cause these types of problems ....

[RavinJetta]

Wow I am sure with that attitude lots of people are going to want to help you. :tdown:

[GTIcrazy]

I can read.

No where on your original post does it say that you ran fine for over a year and just started having problems.

What it does say is that you did all of these engine mods (turbo, injectors, etc) and then you started burning ignition coils every two weeks.

Then it says you told the dealer that you only had an exhaust mod because you thought the dealer was going to stick you.

People are willing to help you, but you have to explain your problems accurately and be open to input from anyone when you post in a public forum.

Best of luck getting it all sorted...

[HateCarStickers]

I wasn't snapping at GTICrazy your responses at least came with a good question or a comment of what I might have happened to have these problems .........
But I really wanted to hear from other Audi Drivers and Owners of the A4 ..... I know the VW runs the same Turbo setup... But thats still not the same CAR .... So I was looking to hear more from the Audi crowd..........
People like (mitssn) and Boogieman .... should ask me? not accuse me right off of the work being done wrong ...... I am not going to spend that kind of money on Audi and then blow the MOTOR ... I would have got a Hondud for that .............. Come on NOW !?!?
I have e-mailed other shops, but they are not giving me any straight answers I think for the fear of me telling other people to becareful ... If it is the upgrades I have done ...
The dealer told me it looks like it is the FUEL Pump which is a common problem on A4 ..
I am just sick and tired of my car breaking all of the time right now and I wanted to be sure I was making a wise investment in the right car ............. Once again something only a Audi Driver could understand NOT A VW or a GTI ........
Well N-E-Ways bring on the shit talking it makes this site more fun ... but at least add something worth reading a few Your Mommas so fat jokes would be GREAT ..............

Maybe if some of you who are replying to me could do more than just change the oil on your car, with your dads help would have funnier comments and more insight to my POST ..........
Well keep'em comin Ladies but in the mean time eat a FAT ONE .............

New Sign Angry Audi Driver cause it keeps breaking DOWN.......
See My profile for a full description of parts and upgrades done to my car ....
For those who dont know shit about the A4 motor the ignition coils have nothing to do with my upgrades ... that is something that should have been fixed in the Re-call ... with a Hitachi Coil Pack replacement .!?!?!?!?

[HateCarStickers]

GTI Crazy
this was my first post of engine problems when the coil pack went out ..!!!!
It's on the Audi Forum and mittsn had the same probs. with his Jetta .....

[HateCarStickers]

It is now 2:42 Wed, and I got my car back they replaced the Fuel Pump..... seems that is something else that usually goes out on these A4's and I am noy at fault my upgrades have and had nothing to do with the fault .... The service manager Chris even encouraged me to get the new 2.0 V6 ..... way to have faith in your cars Audi ......
Well thats why there are no more Turbo 1.8's being made ...........
For all of those who were hurt or upset by my post pull your skirts down, the rest of you with at least funny smart ass replies or some actual insight on my cars problems ..... I thank You .............

[br14n22]

Just because they don't drive an audi, doesn't mean they aren't knowledgable about them...if you're in need of answers you should take advice from anyone who's willing to give it...

[joefis13]

Yeah but, What's your stance on car stickers?

[v2rocket]

uhhhhhh 3.0 v6:tup:

[br14n22]

If i have a stock rs4, does it still suck?

[mitssn]

If i have a stock rs4, does it still suck?No---No it wouldn't...

[jr_scheiBe]

So does this mean that anytime some ass posts "help me help me" we should all come running. Have some respect around here

[HateCarStickers]

Yeah I dont like Stickers on cars ..................
And NO if you have a Stock RS4 then you already bought it fast ......... I wanted to add to my car ..............
And I did not say that people who dont drive AUDI's should be giving advice I said I wanted to hear from the A4 1.8 drivers and owners .... they should know the car better than someone who is driving a Jetta or whatever ....
And no jr_scheiBe I dont want anyone to come running ... they can just walk over and say whats up ...................
I thought my replies were good but maybe they read ruff to most of you out there ....
Well in any case I embrace the Euro community and regardless of what impact my POSTS have left on you guys I appreciate all the replies even the shit talking ones ..........

[SELFatvi]

Damn, could have swore than my lowly GTI 1.8t was the SAME EXACT motor that you have and the same as in the TT and the jetta.

Glad i dont know anything about cars cause i may feel bad about not wanting to help.

But bump for a fix cause i am a nice guy. Since i am curious, what exactly happens when you first start the car?

It cranks right but stalls out? so you have power i assume
Does it run at all ? Even weak? cause if so check hoses and make sure nothing got disconnected.
Do you have any kind of lock out feature on your software? something that would disable the car? Revo has it and when used acts like this.

This may sound dumb but go step by step on what happens. What was the last thing you did to your car? even if it has been a while.

[HateCarStickers]

SELFatvi ............ I did what I could but it broke down in the street, it tunred out to be the fuel pump, Audi did replace it, which was great but it tool them a day to figure it out ...
It would start hit about 2500 rpms then die right away ..........
The service manager Chris told me that it happens on the A4 1.8 ......
I know it's the same motor, my bad in my wording, I should have said people with the same car and motor type ............................
I dont have any REVO software on my car ... but it is fixed and it is running ...
My problem is that in the last 2 months I have been problems like crazy and Audi has not been aboe to give me answer on why these things keep popping up out of nowhere !!?!?
Once agian it's 2003 with only 36,000 miles on it ....
In my profile you can read my list of upgrades so I dont have to type them again !?!?

[Tom (aka Godzilla)]

I'm a little confused....

Did the dealer fix your problem by installing a new fuel pump?

Are you burning coilpacks before or after getting them replaced by the recall?

Are you still having problems with your car or are you just ranting?

If I could make a suggestion.....

Take a breath and calm down before you type a post. Once you type it up, you need to re-read it to make sure that it makes sense and there is some sort of flow to the information.

Your posts read like a tweaker talks, and it's hard to understand the point you're trying to get across.

[HateCarStickers]

GTI yeah after the first 2 incidents with the Ignition Coils, the fuel pump then went out and Audi did fix it ... They told me the filter clogged .. which damaged the the filter and the fuel pump, both were replaced ...
I have not had no coil problems since the last 2 happened but I know of the recall problem and that they can go out any time.

And yes I am still having problems with the car.. This Sunday I got a strange nosies from the motor, I fear that the motor has been damaged from the ignition coil faults...... And yeah I have been ranting a little I think you would be too if you were having these problems with your car. I had the car towed again to Audi cause I dont want to drive it knowing that I can cause more damage to the motor when running the car with out all cylinders operating properly.
And no I am not a tweaker ...........
Thanks,
Steve

you may want to check you TB.. Whith the power your putting down, you could have streched it out a little. Also, I would check for vaccum hose leaks. Your issues seem similar to the problems I was having.
