hi guys

few times ive filled the car up with petrol premium 91-94 and starting up driving away its fine but as soon as i put the foot down the car struggles as if no fuel is feeding the engine then a min later its fine and runs fine all day this only happens at filling up time
when parked up and starting up again driving off put the foot down it does like a rocket
any thoughts guys ?

 

Look up fuel vapor being forced into the intake system at fill up… could be related to a purge valve malfunction. See if that sounds like your issue.
I had a similar problem with another car

 

thanks for the reply

sure rico i'll take the car into the garage to have it checked out on the rosstech
will take it in once we done with the audio upgrade should be done tomorrow

 

got the car to the garage and onto a rosstech you were 100% correct rico its the purge valve ordered a new part should be with me in a couple of days pop it back into the garage firday all should ok
thanks rico

 

got the purge valve this morning garage fitted the part put the ross tech on and all is ok test drive was all fine back home drove like a dream

 

That’s good news, was it a difficult expensive job?

 

dont know about difficult i didnt install the part the garage charged $500 to fit, the part cost $349 that included the scan they did twice

 

Is that the one on top of the engine kinda? I went to Audi and they wanted to charge me $900 to change out a purge valve! The one dealership that sells exotics by me has there own in house mechanics and won’t to outside cars😡

 

that sounds reasonable, glad it’s sorted out.

audi I find ridiculous love the car hate the service department for anything out of warranty
