Misfires during engine warm up period

Hello. So my 2011 audi a3 has started to misfire during engine warm up, specifically at around 45-70°c and its at its worst at 60°c. Also i have noticed trough veds logging that the misfiring starts exactly when lambda control comes active, so when it switches to closed loop operation? On startup it starts perfect and idle is stable when I start to drive it shows 0-2 misfires per 1000 revolutions then when lambda control comes active it shows 20-30 misfires per 1000 revolutions then at 60°c it might go as high as 70 per 1k revolutions and afterwards the number starts dropping and upon reaching operating temp its at 0-3 misfires per 1k also if I continue to drive like 10mins on a warm engine the misfires disappear completely. Cylinder two is the worst but the other three might show a misfire amount of 0-3 sometimes during warm up. The engine is the 1.4tfsi at 187k kms and i already have switched ignition coils and spark plugs around different cylinders but it didn't help. The misfires lessen under light acceleration and never ever happen on idle speed. The car has never shown me the check engine light, it only triggers p0300 and p0302 maybe 1 out of 4 days. I have been monitoring oil and coolant levels and neither have dropped at all. What should i do or check next?

Cylinder 2 misfires during engine warm up?

Hello so i had to replace the battery on my 2011 a3 and didn’t buy the battery from audi so it didn’t come with a BEM code. While coding in the battery the car asked for capacity in Ah, manufacturer and battery serial number. I filled in the correct capacity and both batteries were from varta so didn’t change that but then when it asked for serial number i just changed the last digit from 0 to a 1. Will that work correct and reset the battery management system?

Went for a test drive and it seems to work ok also no codes appeared after. Old coding was 068 VA0 0670620250 and I changed it to 070 VA0 O670620251. First three digits are the capacity then VA0 means varta and then the serial number. Will there be problems since afterwards I realized the 70620 part on the serial number means date ?(in my case 20th june 2017) should I change that to a newer date or will it be fine?

Hello everyone. So i just changed the battery on my 2011 audi a3 and was wondering if I did the BMS reset correctly. The old coding was 068 VA0 0670620250 Format: AAA BBB NNNNNNNNNN

AAA = Battery Size (e.g. 68 Ah = 068 / 3 Digits)

BBB = Battery Vendor (3 Digits)

NNNNNNNNN - Battery Serial Number (10 Alphanumeric Digits)(copied from vcds)

I only changed the first three digits to 070 and from the serial number I changed the last number from 0 to a 1. New battery was a 70Ah varta so I think i got the first part right but I didn’t buy the battery from Audi so I didn’t get the bem code so I don’t know the correct serial number for it. Was changing the 0 to a 1 enough to get the bms to reset or should i have done something else? Everything works correctly and there’s no codes saved after a test drive
