odd it did it this morning on my way to work and now it hasnt done it at all today, after i filled up and put BP petrol in, now last week i got my petrol in Asda as I was, passing so I wonder if the quality of Asda's fuel isnt that good or its just a total coincidence

the temp gauge is going up to the 90 mark after 15 minutes driving as it has done since, i replaced the temp sender with a genuine audi one, about 4 weeks ago

hi folks my 1.8 auto is being a bit daft, when its cold, and im driving it like a volvo driver on a sunday trip to the shops, lol it has huge flat spot between 1000rpm and 2500rpm ,after its been running for 30 mins,roughly the time it takes me to get to or from work its just about...

cheers for that I guess someone at sometime had messed with it , and kwikfit was going to con me by paying over the odds for a standard downpipe and cat looks like a trawl round ebay for the correct parts is in order

the engine code is ADR and its a 1998

Does anyone know if there are 2 kinds of downpipe for the 1.8 n/a??? as the flexi has started blowing on my Avant and ive been round the local exhaust centres and they all reckon they have never seen a down pipe like the one mine with the cat welded on before , the flexi section .Ive looked...

My 1.8 non turbo SE has the selfdimming RVM and thats suffering from the liquid fault aswell, but as i can still see out of im not,tempted to take it out and fit the normal one that came in the pile of spares i was given,
