    Newbie - ?!!

    Help.

    Had my S2 for approx 1 week. No problems on test drive, no problems for the first couple of days. Before I bought it I had Audi go over it and predictably they came up with a whole host of problems. On balance, after chipping the price, I feel I have a good deal. However, driving to the coast on friday I dropped from 6th to 4th and squeezed throttle to overtake. The car did the 'judder', I eased off and it was fine again. I tested it through all the gears and it juddered under load on each. Audi had told me the lambda needed changing (im booking in to get this and a few other things done). I left the car for 2 days and then drove back from the coast on sunday night - and gave it a proper drive and it didnt judder. I have read here that a faulty lambda could be the culprit. Ive also read that it could be down to leaks etc (worrying - sounds expensive). Shall I just get the lambda changed and see what happens. Fault codes during Audi test = 00561 - 013 (Lambda), 00516 - 029, 00518 - 027.

    Hi Mate, I think it was Lee that had the same problem and it turned out to be the HT leads. Start at the cheap options first, sometimes it's just the basics. Hope it stays reasonable,money wise. You still got the silly grin??
