Cheers mjsewell, I've had the pop-ups out before (with the help of my nipper at the wheel!!) by removing the clip whilst they're extended, so I guessed how they work...very clever Audi :-) I just wondered if there might be a separate fuse for the pump for the headlight washers...If not it's...

Cheers - I'll check the pump! ATB, R.

Front and rear screen washers/motors working fine. When the headlamps are on, the pop-up's neither pop up nor spray. I can't find the relevant fuse in the side of the dash (using the ident. chart in the removable panel or in the handbook). Any ideas what could cause this? Motor/pump...

Cheers Nickynibbles, I don't have a performance issue - car runs like a dream. I might try the coil pack swap - I know what a failed coilpack feels like :-( Car doesn't smell of eggs either this is why I think it might be O2 sensor(s) ATB, R.

Cheers man, Cheaper parts would be great once I've figured out what's broken :D I gather that the over the counter price for a cat is around 700 squids!! Aaaargh! I had 4 coilpacks go earlier this year - I replaced all 6 as a precaution.

I've posted many times about my coilpack troubles - now it seems I keep getting the engine management light on with "warm up catalyst below threshold", "Misfire detected cylinder 1(or 3)" and "random/multiple missfire detected". I'm hoping someone far more techie than I could confirm that bad...

Just found a PDF here, I know it'f for a TT, but the principal is most likely the same: http://www.wak-tt.com/guides/sec_air.pdf This links my Secondary Air Injection issue with the Warm Up Catalyst. I'm going to check all my vacuum hoses at first as the car has just had a sevice at a...

Thanks icenutter - i've updated my post as I'd made some important mistakes in the post, maybe this might help diagnosis. I've added VAG-COM output too.

Well, with a usb aftermarket cable and VAG-COM I've established the gearbox is NOT the problem. I cleared some faults which I know are old (because I replaced the ignition coils - all six of them) However, there was a warm up catalyst error. I saved it and cleared it. If I look in...

I have two "failed/incomplete" items listed under engine readiness: Oxygen Sensor Secondary Air Injection What on earth is the second item?? ******Updated****** This is the VAG-COM FAult Code output, note I have resolved the last three items (replaced all 6 ignition coils)...

Anyone got an opinion on this little gizmo? http://www.ecufix.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=69&products_id=205 Seems a bit of a bargain - pity I didn't see this before ordering my VAG-COM cable....

I have a '51 plate car with roughly 78K on the clock. Had all six coil packs replaced under warranty in Jan 2004. Had a further three go about 8 weeks ago..... Had a further one go as we were approaching the ferry after a week on the Isle of Wight at half term........decided to replace the...

I second the coil pack theory as a 3.0L V6 Quattro owner having had this problem many times.

Just ordered the cable and I have the freeware vag-com software primed and ready to go on my lappy for when the cable arrives........let's hope the light doesn't extinguish before the cable turns up ;-)

Thanks dualmono21 - am looking into the cable/shareware vagcom thing as I type this ;-)
