Engine Warning System

[2000RS4]

Hi All,

Have White 200 RS4 Stag.. ( in case you couldn't guess ).

I've had it for around 1 year now and for about 8 months have had the engine warning light comming on intermittently. Initially it would only do it maybe once a month, thne once 1 fortnight, then once a week, now daily.. The car had a little shudder for about 2 seconds then the light comes on.

I'vr bben told that it is porbably the voil pack that needs replacing, but alos have been told that it could be something to do with the air flow sensor.. I'va had a diagnotic done twice on it with no result. ( Mech probably doesn't have car on his equipment ).

Any one had the same problem or have any firmer ideas as to what could be the solution to this. If not anyone know of a machanic that knows about Stageasin Perth northern Suburbs ?

Cheers

almost certainly coil packs. based on my experience. intermittent fault. runs rough. etc etc

it will come up as a CAS error on consult.

possibly worth checking coils 1 & 2 (these went on mine)

ps. i have 4 coils for sale

Where are you st? Find a gtr mech to do the diagnostics for you and see wheter he can pin point the problem. Thats your best bet i suppose

I had a similar problem with my Series II and it turned out to be faulty coil packs and related electrical circults causing the coil packs to blow.

Mine was repaired by the dealer, who also happens to compliance Stageas here in WA

Not sure if he does work for general public but PM me and I will try and find his details.

Its a bit of drive though given they are in Beckenham.

Cheers, Al

watch out for a certain workshop in perth with a 2wd dyno only but they attempt to run the stageas on it in 4wd for abit of smokin action

PM if u want the details of the shop cause i would reccomend leaving your car as far from that shop as possible if u want it sorted and no other problems caused.

ring Top Racing in Capel Crt i think it is in Bentley. awesome workshop and very helpful guys down there they have been doing stuff on my stagea and helping me heaps even though im doing all the installing of parts at home and they aint getting any money they still dont mind helping out with info. Steve will be tuning my power fc djetro very soon. he also has a 4wd dyno in the workshop (i think they got it now, or its a few days away if they dont).

cheers
