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

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

    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
