Hi Everyone. I have been looking through the “V6 engine Tech” section, but could not find much info. I have been noticing that my car has inconsistent engine performance. Generally after the 1st start of the day, the car seems a little less responsive. Engine seems to perform better after the 2nd start. But sometimes, engine power seems good after the 1st start too. Yesterday at around 10 pm, I was driving back home and the car performed really well. Normally I don’t get that kind of performance. It probably was my car’s best engine performance ever since I bought the car 2 years ago. Overall, I have not driven any other G8’s to compare my cars with in terms of performance, except for a couple of test drives that I took when I was looking to buy one.
My question is that if this kind of engine behavior is normal, or I should be concerned about something here. Can time of the day and the temp effect the engine performance in any way? I have seen that some people have suggested cleaning the MAF and changing the air filter. Could it be that I need new spark plugs ? I have 65000 Km’s which is a little over 40,000 miles on my car.
Any suggestions, tips will be highly appreciated.
