Hi, I have an Audi A4, B8, Multitronic, 2.0 TDI and it has developed some symptoms: - increased fuel consumption (poor mpg) - slight engine shaking but become worse when I switch off the engine (the whole car shakes a lot more on the moment between pressing the key to switch off until the engine dies completely) - a while back I've noticed that for the first time on the day the car won't start at first attempt but at the second. Now, it will not start after 3-5 attempts. I press the key, the engine cranks but just when it's about to fire, it dies like something it's not there, like the fuel just ran out. When it won't start, the cranking time is the same as when it does start, the car does not crank longer. It will happen only when I use the car for the first time on that day after which the car will start at first attempt perfectly fine every time until next day. Battery is new/good and it's summer at the moment. There are no fault codes on VCDS. However, after my research, I think there is an issue with either MAF sensor or EGR (or both). I have attached 2 screenshots from VCDS with engine at idle, do these values look abnormal? Thank you, George

Hi guys,I have an A5 2.0TDI Quattro 190PS Black Edition Plus, November 2015. I bought it second hand from Audi with 8000 miles on the clock in January 2017. It is killing me on fuel!! I am getting around 200-240 miles per tank (60 litre tank) and no I do not floor it constantly. At it’s first service which was around 3 weeks ago I told Audi about my fuel efficiency. They did a diagnostics check and checked for any leaks and said it was all fine! They put it down to cold weather (even though the mpg has been awful for the whole year!), my driving and stop start traffic driving conditions. I got a remap put on the car last week in an attempt to help the fuel efficiency but it’s literally the same and hasn’t helped.This is not right, has anyone experienced anything like this? If anyone could point me in the right direction I’d be very grateful! Thanks in advance.
