mine does the exact same, same noise on the passanger side seat and the seat does not lock in place fully after you adjust it on some occasions. scared the sh1t out of me once when the seat started to slide forward under heavy breaking, it slid a bit before the locking mechanism clicked in.

Dont be be so sure that Audi will spot a cracked head, they did not in my case, it took two further visits and and my insistance that they pressure test the head, also, add the the list above an erg valve and new fans before they replaced the head. When they did send the head for testing it had...

I have had the same problem with my 2.0FSI. I have it two years now and its been in the dealers 6 times over that period with coolant loss. They have replaced the head which was cracked and is an issue on early 2.0FSI, the rad and all piping and most recently (im not too mechanically minded)...

thanks for the reply lads. as you can see i am based in ireland so the availability of the Jag XJ running gear is very limited hence the Ford option. I know i could source the jag in the UK but that leads into a mine field with local customs & excise re the VRT valuation of the car, they will...

Hi All I was wondering if anyone had any experience or know someone who has built a Kit Car. I have just finished renovating our house and I'm looking for my next project. I have been doing some research on the subject and have browsed the forums but the answers that i'm getting to some of my...

my 2.0FSi has done the exact same thing. They had to replace the head after they replaced the thermo housing and other bits over the last 4 months. I got the car back two weeks ago but had to leave it back yesterday as i started to use coolant again. there does not appear to be any leakages or...

I havent been a member of this site for very long but i think my 6 month relationship with Audi and this site will be coming to an abrupt end. after a long list of problems with my 2003 A3 2.0FSi the straw that finally broke the camels back came this morning. Audi have been 8 weeks trying to...

I have a 2003 2.0FSI and have noticed that it requires a top up of coolant every other month. do you know if the same problem applies to the peetrol model as well as the diesel?

cheers, its a great forum. Its my first Audi after a long line of VW Golfs. I have to say the Golf's never gave me this much trouble this early on. I'm stunned at the amount of oil the car is consuming, but reading other comments this seems like a regular problem with the petrol engines. i have...
