Hey guys:
first of all, i'm a member in dubR (Rochester based), I was visiting my friend in Syracuse yesterday when this all happened, my car is locked up in syracuse right now and i need the car fixed soon :( Boostin20V referred me to this board. Below is the message i posted on dubR.
==============Start====================
"Long day today, me and a bunch of my friends went to a friend's place in Syracuse, I took my car there. After we were done and ready to come back to rochester, i start up my car and the car stutterss just like every other cold day and cold start. I start rolling and as soon as I step on the gas slowly, the car sounds like a harley motorcycle with a crazy "grrrrrrrrrr" sound AND crazy loud backfires when i let off the gas. At low rpms and at full stop, the car vibrates a lot with RPM staying at 800 mark. I only went quarter of a mile and decided to keep my car there.
While everything i said above was happening, the CEL kept blinking and stayed on. so i went back and parked it at my friend's place. it was 2AM, no tools, no vagcom or anything so I just couldn't do anything.
i had some maintenance works done by CDI recently (this tuesday) and they were;
1. Spark plugs (OEM plugs)
2. New downpipe (Milltek 2.5")
3. Oil change
and some other miscellaneous stuff
the car was running FINE before 2am today however, my car hit limp mode for the first time ever this morning. (no cel, restarted the car and it was fine hitting correct boost level)
Assuming coil packs? I have switched them to the latest version under factory recall long time ago.
Any guesses or advices?
it's been a very long day, i got into my friend's audi a4 on the way back just now, and we had a ****ing flat tire on I-90 between exits 42-43. his factory jack tools were bent and not working + lots of waiting for the tow truck guy with tools and it was way too cold and snowing/sleeting outside
please help me out. if any of you have or know one that has VAGCOM in syracuse (it's right by Syracuse university), i would be VERY much appreciated.
===================END======================
Thanks!
I need someone with VAGCOM + necessary tools to help me out, i'm NOT a good mechanic. The car is really low so towing to a nearby dealership and others would be a big hassle. I would like to get it fixed on site preferrably. Any of you 1.8T mechanic gurus, please help me out, i'm really upset right now :(
The car is 2003 1.8T GTI and it has about 45K miles on the clock, as mentioned above, i recently had an oil change, spark plug change and a new downpipe installed (from Milltek 3" down to 2.5"). Furthermore, the car is chipped, DV, ECS N75 race valve, CAI, full milltek turbo back'd.
I hope someone could really help me out.
