Folks.
I have a 1999 1.8T A6(APU engine). The viscous fan works perfectly but the electric cooling fan doesn't work. I think it may be the relay but having a problem finding the right one as the diagram in elsawin doesn't quite match the car. I tried to get a spare relay (using part number on...
IIRC there is a little panel just in front of the handbrake. behind this is a screw that holds bottom bit in place. I changed mine for a leather one I made out of an old leather jacket. Looked very smart
Mines is on 125K on a 99 plate and never had to replace anything so far but just had it though the NCT (Irish equivalent of the MOT) though it had a problem on the suspension and was dreading the time/cost of new arms but it tuned out to be only the Anti roll Bar links that needed replacing. The...
I tried a better earth for the amp and it was no better. I didn't have time this weekend to take the centre console of to run a better earth for the head unit so I treid the ground loop isolators alijames suggested and it solved the problem without any discernible change to the sound quality so...
Bryzan I conneted the the RCA and powered up last of all so this shouldn't be the problem, also the sound is crystal clear with the engine off.
Alijames. if nothing else works i'll give these a try. I assume you install at the amp end of the RCA and not the head unit end

I'm not that familiar with the fuel systems on these engines. Is the filter in the engine bay or back at the tank. if the filter is at a higher level than the tank and is emptying it would suggest that air is getting in somewhere and this causes the diesel to drank back into the tank overnight...

This might do. I'm not sure if the coupe quattro they refer to is the ur-quattro though
Is it that it is air or just that there isn't enough fuel getting through and what you are seeing is vacuum bubbles (not enough fuel to fill the pipe entirely). Then this would suggest a blockage in the fuel lines or in the tank soemwhere
I have elsawin the factory repair manuals. On my 1.8T when I changed the water pump I had to refill the coolant. The procedure says you have to unscrew the expansion tank and raise it about 10cm above normal level. Then pull back the coolant pipe going through bulkhead ( to the heater) until you...
If you change the rear pads you'll know if they are sticking if the dont wind back in. The other thing is the brake hoses are they expanding under pressure. This is usually an MOT failure and would be spotted there but something to look out for.
Some copperslip on the back of the pad will help...
bba reman repaired mine after the same communication problems. It seems to be a known problem with these cars when they get older. I'd go for that first as if the pump is knackered you would still get communication with the controller. Do you know or trust the garage or are they just trying it on.
