Hi, it is possible to do this without removing the frame, I did mine last year, its not easy though. You need to do this by feel really.
First take the internal door card off. There is a threaded rod that come down from the internal latch with a black plastic clip that holds it in place. You...
I had a similar issue with mine, turned out to be the lower bent arm. Went through about 2 MOT's without a problem, no obvious sign of movement on close inspection. Only obvious on uneven surfaces...
Hi, I had the same problem with mine, its the secondary fan (smaller one) that is probably at fault. You can check this yourself, basically when your aircon is on this should also be on. Its a very common failure on many VAG cars.
I have a document I can send you on how I diagnosed mine if...
If the fan doesn't work with 12v directly to the terminals, its certainly the problem. I had the same issue with mine. There are is a fan output test on VAG COM which you can also use. I have a write up on how to change\repair the fan which I can email you if you PM me your email.
I would have to disagree with you on that, without the secondary fan your air con will not work efficiently when stationary. If you are short on funds its worthwhile stripping the motor and cleaning out the dust. The most common cause of failure of this motor is the carbon brushes either wearing...
I think you may have 2 separate problems here. Common causes of overheating with no other obvious signs is waterpump, well documented on here. Basically the plastic impeller comes adrift internally so could well be the cause if it hasn't been changed, perhaps more noticable when in traffic, no...
Thats correct the "710" would be fine and a lot cheaper!
If funds are limited I would concentrate on making sure there are no problems with what you've got. Invest in a Vag Com lead and check there are no underlying problems (e.g.like n75 valve not working etc making it flat) and what's...
The normal fix for this is to have the abs ecu repaired. There are a number of people who do this (e.g. BBS Reman). Basically you can take the ecu off the pump and send it off for testing\repair. There are lots of threads on this and a guide on the audiworld tech articles. I had mine repaired...
Ok, just a quick update. Stripped my old fan down tonight using the guide below:-

my fan was a different to the one in the pictures but similar enough to follow. The brushes were worn but a bit sticky in their guides. I cleaned out...
I did think of a s\h one but they seem to be a common failure. I was quoted £170 by the garage for a genuine new one. There were a couple on ebay going for around £50 then I saw this new one for £45 :-

This would have fitted my...
Hi, had exactly the same issue on my A6 this week! Garage wanted £450 to replace the fan\labour\regas. Got a fan from GPC for £60 and changed it myself one evening in about 1 hour.
The garage said they would need to strip the entire front end off, but after a few minutes searching the forums I...
