Thanks for that, I'm happy enough with my car as is to be honest, only tempted as it was a bargain.

I've spotted a tuning box at a decent price and wondered if anybody could answer my question. I've got a 2004 b6 2.5 Tdi, non Quattro so it's the 163 ps engine. The tuning box I've seen is for the 180ps model, and wondered whether they are interchangeable? I've searched and a lot of them seem to...

It's probably your coolant temp sensor. Mine was the same, up to 90 degrees no bother, but would drop when sat in traffic. Warranty claim for the thermostat, which was a bonus having the 2.5tdi as the belts need to come off. After all of that, symptoms still the same, changed the sensor and job...

And it sorted my erratic temp gauge.

My new CTS from Audi was only £24 including the new O ring.

*Update* I had the thermostat replaced under warranty (the 5* AA warranty has paid for itself this week). While the thermostat was being replaced I thought it would be a convenient time to have the water pump, timing belt & tensioners done seeing as the labour was covered through the warranty...

I'm in Liverpool Chris, I've just checked my warranty and the thermostat is covered, which is a result. How much would it normally cost for it to be done?

Thanks Paul. I'll get everything done while the belts are off if that's the case.

No sooner has the cold weather arrived and my thermostat appears to be wide open. It's taking a while for the car to get warm, and even after a couple of hours motorway driving tonight, as soon as I got stuck in traffic the temperature gauge dropped to mid way between the 90 and the line to the...

Just to let you know (as some people don't when they've fixed their cars) the ESP light was caused by the steering wheel being off centre by one notch. Steering wheel re-centred, problem has now gone away.

I've done a how to on here with the pictures showing what is where, using that template which I've also put in the how to. Let me know how you get on, measure twice cut once ;-)

We did all of that as part of the cruise fit. I had to replace the steering control module to get the cruise stalk to work (previous module was an F variant so incompatible). Followed all of the guides, cruise works, modules correctly coded, all lights cleared once installed etc, but as I say...

Is that where you drive in a straight line, stop sharply and drive in a circle until it all resets?

Having had the cruise control retrofit finished on my 2004 A4 2.5tdi, when driving on the motorway I get the ESP light on after 120 miles of driving. Happened on my last 4 journeys since it was fitted, and it resets every time. Any ideas? Haven't had chance to get somebody with VAG com to look...
