Tried selling on Gumtree and had no interest. Not particularly interested in the hassle of posting. I'll fire them on eBay though, cheers for the advice.

As title. Got a Parcel Shelf and Dog Guard going free in Edinburgh, I don't have any use for them and I don't want to bin them. From 2003 A6 Estate.

Wee glam pic of my A6: 2.7t manual on H&R ultra low coilovers, and A5 18s.

Could you fill me in on what these rear lights are? I really fancy a pair.

I've just been on this journey so perhaps I can help a little. Assuming your car is BOSE fully amplified like mine (apparently some Audi's are BOSE front only, and I initially bought the lead for that setup in error), and also assuming a standard connection on whatever head unit you buy (a...

It was indeed the fuel pump, my Audi is once again working. Thanks to everyone who pitched in with suggestions and advice. I ended up following this guide for fuel pump replacement. I would note however that while he recommends disconnecting the return line under the lid of the pump, if you...

Surely if the ECU was burnt out there wouldn't be voltage - since it wouldn't be telling the fuel pump to pump? Not sure by what means I would stick 12v into the pump either. Not saying it's not possible, just that I don't have the tools/components to do it.

I have fitted a new Crank Angle Sensor. That didn't fix my non-start issue. I now think it's the fuel pump - no sound from the pump on cranking the engine and there's a voltage across pins 1 and 4 at the connector so this should rule out any electrical issues i.e. fuses and relays, correct...

I did try to jump it with a Jump Starting thingmy, I will look into this if my current angle of attack doesn't work.

A couple of things I noticed today: This hose doesn't seat well on whatever this canister is: This is on the left side at the back as you look at the engine, the similar one on the right is well connected. Would this cause any issues? And this sensor doesn't appear to be plugged into...

Cheers for the suggestion. I don't have a VCDS, and my Autel resets from the live data feed if you try to crank the engine so I can't try that. I just bought the sensor because it's not massively expensive. Currently in the process of replacing it, which is not exactly easy! Not a lot of space...

Additionally. I had to get a tow from a mate to get my car back to my flat tonight. Turning the wheel with the engine off appears to have caused a power steering fluid leak - from the top of the reservoir. What sort of damage may I have caused? What should I look out for? Or will it just be a...

Cheers for the suggestion. So would the crank sensor being dud not cause a fault code? I know when the camshaft position sensor went in my old Mondeo TDCi, it had a fault code that was active even without getting the engine to start. Is there anyway to verify that it's the crank sensor, other...

Have now replaced the battery and still won't start, so it wasn't the battery. Have unplugged the temp sensor and tried to start it and it won't, so I guess it's not the sensor that's faulty? There was some corrosion around there though. I also cleared all the fault codes in the hope that it...
