Hello to all you Awesome V10 owners… Long time watching and reading topics/posts, first time poster. Looking for advice on multiple issues. From being around different forums, this is the only place I want to talk and hopefully receive assistance from.
Here it goes, I have been a Mechanic/Service Technician for over 20 years, 7-10 in automotive field and last 10-to currently in the Heavy Equipment Repair field. I know my way around a toolbox/ service truck. I Purchased the car back in August of 2017 with 89k mi, under the impression that it needed Cats and a few little odds and ends. Right after I purchased the car I changed oil&filter, all 10 coils and plugs with OEM parts, Carbon cleaned my self. I am Currently getting random missfires at cold start and randomly at idle at any temp. I have also removed the Intake manifold recently and unfortunatly have had to remove cyl’s 5-10 change over flaps, due to pieces being everywhere they were not supposed to be. Not an uncommon issue from what I have been reading for months on this forum. The missfire issue has always been there since I took ownership of this vehicle. Car currently has 125k mi on odometer. I do not own VCDS but do own a foxwell NT510 with Audi software, I am able to pull factory codes just cant post them like all the smart guys that purchased the VCDS set up. kicking myself for that mistake… Any and all help on this issue would greatley appreciated. I will add to post in next few hours as I have a prior obligation i need to get back to…
