I have a 2002 a4 with 122k on the clock. How do I know when the clutch is on the way out. I mean the biting point is so far near the top of that I'm afraid some day that it wont bite at all. I have read on previous posts that a new clutch is not unheard of at this mileage. What sort of...

1.9TDI sport 2002 B6 My suspension is knackered I think at 105k, there is a vibration from left front and it is very wallowy etc. I want o upgrade the suspension to get rid of these symptoms and was wondering if I get the "A4 35mm H&R Kit" from DPM would that replace the parts that are more...

That might explain why my local guys are reluctant to do it....maybe its a work guarantee reason, too much hassle for them....might have to price at stealers...which will be around the €800 mark or more, which is robbery for a 7 year old car!

Take the guard under the windscreen off and it is in the top right hand corner. Simple remove and replace job

Rear ended some lady, corner of front bumper torn, bent, passenger headlamp smash and some of back fron underbody bending, snapped clasps etc. Where can I get replacement parts, in the right color (silver) for reasonable price? Car is 2000 A3 1.6 Ambiente Cheers

Leak has ceased, mechanic mate checked it out, refitted the engine pan with ties and drove it 90 miles to work today...all seems OK...needs service next week so will get a better look when up on jacks, whatever. Next question, where is the best place to source 2 new underbody pans with clips...

Two pans from what I could see, one directly under the engine, the other attached to it heading back towards the centre of the underbelly. Couldn't see much with just a jack, no way I was getting under it! The leak is coming through the plastic covering on the passenger side underbelly...

I have run over a wooden plank on the way home. It tore off the underbody attached to the underbody of the engine bay (about 1/3 way down the underside) There is also a leak now dripping a clear, odourless liquid and I don't know whether I should commute my 180 mile round trip in it tomorrow...

I realise this might be a more UK based forum, but is there any Irish guys here that would have any suggestions for an Independant Audi mechanic. Dublin/Wicklow/Wexford locations Just priced a timing belt kit and service for the wifeys '00 A3 1.6 and nearly fell off the chair!

Perfectly understandable...I'll have a good root for it this evening

A quick search on ElsaWin seems to show it is a tough nut to get your hands on? Any ideas on where to source it for my model?

I want to do the routine maintenance of my 2002 A4 tdi 130 myself. Is there anywhere that I can get procedure/instruction from? Are Haynes, Bentley manuals relevant for UK/Ireland models. Also, would it be worth my while in getting the VAG software and cable for my laptop to diagnose...

It's one thing to add the spoilers, intakes, exhausts etc...hugely bad taste but the fact that people think that they can 'trick' someone into thinking that their car is an 'S4', to which I see a lot of here in Ireland lately (prob modded 1.6L :-) ) or even and rs4 is just nuts......absolutely...

Decided to move house, have had to shelve my S4 plans and need to keep my 02 TDI Sport on the road. The only trouble is that its at 75K and things seem to be going awry. The handling is starting to feel a bit 'boaty', has anyone replaced stock A4 sport suspension before? Parts needed &...

Any indication...have a choice to make, sell up or drive until it (may or may not) go on me...have a lot of miles to do this year so need to decide and cost or changing vs cost of fixing anything is the factor Also, was in multi-storey last night and by the third level, she seemed to be...
