Just wondering if anyone has experienced this before and can shed some light..

I’ve had my A3 about two months and it’s been fine, fully serviced etc and it’s in great condition, last Wednesday I started the engine at work and it stuttered a little but nothing crazy so I set off home, then it stuttered again near home a couple of times and didn’t want to accelerate and fully cut out at the roundabout.

Managed to get it driving again by revving it but then it kept doing the same thing intermittently the next day getting progressively worse, it would still turn over but needed revs on or it would cut out. Took it to the garage who ran diagnostics and there’s no faults showing nor is it the engine injectors.

How's the battery voltage? Low voltage on the battery can cause that kind of behaviour - although would expect it to be at least slow to start.

Does the exhaust sound ok (not blowing)?
