Hi all, I have an Audi A4 avant b7 2.0 tdi So my aorcon is playing up, i have trawled the net and found loads of suggestions most I have tried and I have still drawn a blank. I have some basic questions and would love to know if anyone has any ideas what else i can try before writing off the...

Also i'm assuming the injector change is something I couldn't do myself

great thanks, i'll have a look, if anyone has any VAG specific advice it would be much appreciated Cheers

Hi, I have a bit of an issue with my 2005 2.0tdi Avant. I have had power and uneven driving problems. I took the car to my independent dealer who changed the flywheel and clutch and also said that injector 4 was misfiring and not within specification. The fly wheel change did nothing really...

I had the similar airbag light, Audi fixed the problem and said it was a faulty connector under the passenger seat, they knew about it and there was a standard modification to fix it, to my knowledge this involved changing a badly designed connector for a more update one. as for VAGcom, I...

Great, thanks, i'll call Audi a call tomorrow, I'm assuming that if the actuator is only slightly faulty it will operate ok on idle when the turbo isn't under load but might not have enough pull to keep the veins in position when its working hard?

I have been having some problems with my car B7 a4 2.0tdi 140 for a while, it is not running smoothly and is underpowered, almost like you really have to boot it to get the turbo to kick in, have tried a number of things to sort this but I still haven't really solved the problem. Today it was...

Hi, I have just had my MAF sensor out with the thought of cleaning/replacing it and when I looked down the air hose going to the turbo I can see an oily residue/build-up in the pipe coming from where the crankcase breather hose enters it. Is this normal? should I be worried? Also the is a...

Hi, I have just changed the Gasket at the back of the EGR cooler on my B7 A4 2.0 tdi, its the one on the end of the main pipe, does anyone know the torque wrench setting for the 2 bolts? I have done them up to 10nm so far is this correct? Cheers

Hi, I have posted before on here regarding the rough running of my 2.0 TDI B7 A4 Its still running rough and I am just working through the solutions I have been to my local Garage who has plugged it in and said it is not giving any error codes, They also said It could be the MAF sensor, I...

Hi, I've finally got around to having it plugged in, nothing came up at all on the diagnostic, the following came out of it though. They think there is a small leak in the gasket at the bottom of the EGR Pipe, it can be heard with a stethoscope and there is a dark residue there which...

Skip the last bit, found one, I was on the American site, Halfords seem to do them online but not in my local store...

Hi, I posted a couple of weeks ago regarding the potential over filling of my oil, It sounds like it wasn't by much and it shouldn't have caused any problems. The car however is definitely running rough since although this could be a coincidence. The car starts ok but seems (unless i'm...

Hi, I have made the mistake of topping up my oil in the dark and overfilled it (the dipstick isn't the best even in daylight), i'm not sure exactly by how much but I think I have removed about 500ml with a syphon pump and it is now about 2/3 between the min and max, I drove about 100-150...

Ok, Job finally done, as suspected the numberplate was stuck onto the plastic housing (of the style alfie155 bought off of ebay), this was then screwed onto the car with plastic screws, there were no nuts on the back, the threaded fixing holes were incorporated into the car. Job wasn't too...
