What made you go for Apec? I would much rather stick to something German, or were they much cheaper?

I had to do one before where the alternator tensioner had practially fallen off, it pivots on a big pin that goes through some top hat shaped bushes. The bushes had worn, and the pin had come out of place, which put the tensioner at a funny angle and threw the belt off. So is best to try and...

I couldnt see it in the post, but have you actually tried pushing the 'ECON' button to see if the light goes out? As it may just be turned off, as the light just shows its in 'ECONOMY' mode. Are you sure this is not just totally unrelated, and just a dodgy coolant temp sender, which is very...

I have seen rear facing seats the back of A6 avants, all trimmed in the same material as the rest of the seats, so must have been an optional extra.

Is this the one that just plugs in the fuel temp sender? If so we had a 1.9 TDi in work today that had a lumpy idle, a quick checked with VCDS had a fault for fuel temp sender logged, but hadnt put on the MIL Had a quick look on the wiring, and the original bit of loom with the 2-Pin plug that...

The Parrot should just plug in between those two 8-Pin ISO plugs and the new stereo.

The first pic apears to be a 'Mini ISO' used as a line out for feeding an amp, like on cars with Bose. They are normally in three bits that pull apart, yellow, green and blue... one bit for changer, one for phone, and one for line out, but looks like its all in one, but only one end is used...

Not many B6 that I have worked on even have a clutch on the aircon pump anymore! The pumps are always driven, mainly to stop them siezing up when people dont use it over the winter like cars of old, but with modern climate control they needed more than just off and on with the pump.... The...

It will often throw that code if its cranking but not starting, doesnt always mean its the sensor itself. If it starts with easy start then its either lack of fuel, or some/all glow plugs arent getting hot enough. If you have Vag-Com (VCDS) what does it say for coolant temperature in measuring...

I had a quick look in your other thread, but has anyone ever checked in the injector deviations using VCDS? In measuring blocks you can view the injection deviations for each injector, which usually gives you some idea if one is blocked as it will show how much the ECU is trying to compensate...

What service interval are you going to run it on? If your going to have it on a fixed 10K service then I would run 5w40 Quantum Platinum, and no matter what oil you will need exactly 5 Litres. Is this going to be some cheap no named thing of a well known auction site? If so I would say your...

I have a S4 with heated front seats, and am sure both were working when I first got the car, but now the passenger seat refuses to heat up. I thought it might be something I did, as I took the passenger seat out recently when trying to find somewhere to stick the bluetooth module, but gave up...

I have a S4 with a RNS-E and have just done the VIM hack as would like to be able to add a DVD player... Do I really need to buy one of those £100-£130 multimedia interfaces to be able to feed video into it? I have already bought the empty plug for the multimedia socket on the back of the...

From the mention of sludge my first guess would be 1.8T, but from the user name maybe its a TDi

Is it definately a inner CV that is knackered, as they dont tend to go that often, unless you have been driving with a split boot for a while. If it has the newer tripodic type inner joint you cant usually take them of the shaft, so a whole shaft is the only way to go on these. If its an older...
