My 96 rs4 stag has had a problem since I have brought it , driving specifically between 85-115kph, I would estimate, I have a shuddering or 'pulsing' sensation coming from what I believe to be the rear axle of the car. Like additional torque is being applied to the rear driveshafts momentarily in an on/off fashion. I would say that it is not a reducing speed sensation, as in abs acting on the rear wheels for some even more bizarre reason, especially as it only happens at a light load throttle position and the sensation is destinctly coming from the rear end. Also it only seems to only happen when it's been running for a while or fully warmed up. Anybody got any suggestions or ideas as to what could be causing this to happen?

Is it an awd car? Are all your tyres the same size and type? Tried turning left and right and listening for wheel bearings? Jack the car up and have a look? Wheels binding (foot or handbrake)?

Yeah it's awd and yeah all same tyres and same size. I can't hear anything while I'm driving. And it doesn't feel like anything binding up. Like I say it only really starts happening after driving for 20 mins or so and can only notice it at higher speeds

But thanks for your suggestions

Will be rest tyres are worn slightly more than the fronts

Mine is doing it ATM so I have had to make it rwd till I sort out new tires

Funny thing is that they aren't even that worn but the fronts are brand new

First up, I'd get the wheels balanced. This will shop up 90% of your problems. If the tyres are unevenly worn, the tyre shop will tell you (they like to make money). Uneven tyre wear can cause the AWD system to start sending torque to the front when it's not needed. If the rims are buckled or out of round, they'll tell you. The other thing it'll fix is unbalanced wheels.

I've had a vibration caused by all of the above.

hhhhrrrmm sounds like my issue around 100 KM/S + -,the car shudders like it doesnt know what gear to select.

im about to have a shift kit fitted and oil changed ill let you know if this fixes the issue i think it is, which is oil thats lost its viscosity and causing the auto to do silly things. if it does fix this issue try sending a message to Jetwreck, he is doing all of my work as i cant be fkt, coz im lazy................... Actually I just read your sig and it says ur in Auckland and im pretty sure he wont go there unless you pay for it. but it might be worth asking him for a decent oil for your auto unless you know of one your self?

I had this problem too, in my 2000 S2, really annoying and sometimes felt like the car was jerking back and forth at 80 - 100 km/h, turned out to be a really simple fix, check the attessa fluid level in the reservoir located in the back behind the inspection cover on the right hand side, make sure the engine is running as it will appear full if the engine is off, topped it up to the correct level with ATF/ power steering fluid, problem solved.

      Structured text and other high level PLC programing languages are not allowable in Functional Safety. They are very difficult to audit. My PLC stuff is almost exclusively oriented towards Burner Management Systems which are a particularly pernicious form of Safety Instrumented System, when implemented in an SPLC. Even the part of the code written to work in the non-safety logic part of the PLC, like with a Siemens S7-1500 series, still needs to be treated as if it was safety code, with access restrictions, code fingreprints and the like. And Allen Bradley can go EABODs. They ae full of shit. They have this whole lie going on where they say if you use a ControlLogix controller and its IO, and then just duplicate the IOs (ie, run in series or parallel depending on type, to try to make it "fail safe") and "use these programming styles and place these restrictions on what you do" that you can achieve SIL2. What a load of crap. They just get away with it because no-one in the US seems to understand the first thing about Functional Safety and carries on as if all they have to do is buy only SIL2 rated equipment and hey presto, it's a SIL2 system. Idiots. /rant

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If you're really considering leaving it, a great question to ask is, is the magnet going to stick to the sump? The answer to the above is the same answer towards if I'd have any level of comfort leaving it... Personally, based on the cost of a motor if the magnet were to cause damage, I'd be fishing it out either way. Use the methods in here. It fit in through the plug hole, it'll come out.   PS, get a small actuatable claw for a bore scope. OR if you know a vet, they have really cool controllable scopes with hooks on the end. Supposedly they're like playing a video game. Ask if they can acquire you one of their scopes... Engine oil after all is just a different type of lube right? Will only make it easier on the next dog or cat...

      All other (Boolean) logic functions though, are just built on those blocks above. Which does give you a lot of functionality in logic. It is basing that on using thresholds with analogue signals like GTS alluded to.   Not having things like timers will make it less useful for some of the ramp up logic you'd want, and again, on Haltecs capacity specifically, I'm not across anymore what you can / can't do with different tables.   I'm assuming, with your logic you want to implement, not only do you want your timing safeties, you're wanting to be able to derive the duty cycle for your solenoid, to maintain I'm assuming 175PSi? Or are you using a standalone WMI controller to maintain the DC correct, and you just want the Haltech working out which fuelling maps you should be on?

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It doesn't seem to follow revs. Oddly it seems to follow TPS a little bit from what I can see, but with some delay a bit. IE end of the graph, when he lets off throttle fully, pressure drops a lot, then slowly builds back up, but rpm is on a nice cruisey drop off. I do agree though, it seems very electrically.
