Hello everyone,
If you don't mind I would like to ask a few questions. Im still learning a bunch about my audi, i previously drove saabs (did have one audi before this one though).
So I had a bent rim... I bought a new set of 18" rims, got the on mounted and balanced. It did not fix my vibrations. So far I have also changed my motor mounts, my passenger side cv axle, cleaned my throttle body, pcv valve, and changed my spark plugs. Today i took out my plugs, reset the gap (from .028 to .030) and i cleaned my coil packs. I used a q-tip and rubbing alcohol, then I put dielectric grease on the rubber part of the coils.
The vibrations happen at first when I start from a stop, it almost feels like a jerking.. When I get around 25mph it stops until i hit about 50mph. Once i hit 50 if I really give it some gas it vibrates real bad. It makes my door panels shake, the floor shakes and I feel it in the seats too. The steering wheel barely shakes at all...
Anyways, today i also noticed that the tube going on to the back of my purge valve or n80 valve (part # 06E-906-517-A) is cracked right where it fits on... My question is what exactly does this purge valve do and can that little crack be bad? Also when i am pumping gas, i can get like 3 dollars worth before the pump stops and i can sort of hear the gas running into the tank if that makes sense...
I am thinking about getting my trans (CVT) oil flushed as well, but the local euro shop wants 200 bucks to do it... I would do it myself but dont have the proper equipment and tools. I dont believe the trans has anything to do with my vibrations however, because when i put it into tiptronic mode i can beat on it and it shifts smoothly the way id imagine it is supposed to.
Just hoping for a little insight and what you would do next if this were your car. Thanks in advance!
