    A4 Avant rear wiper stopped working due to bike rack!

    Unfortunately i must have left the rear wiper on after fitting our bike rack. The wiper is stuck halfway up the rear screen and doesn't move when i use the stalk to turn the wiper on/off. I've tried looking for a blown 15A fuse in both the rear luggage fuse area to the RHS as you open the boot...

    James, cheers for this. Is it possible to easily take the turbo to bits and give it a clean up? As for the fuel injection pump. How can i check if its faulty? cheers.

    low power 2.5tdi

    I have an a4 2.5 tdi quattro which has never seemed very fast considering its supposed to be a 150bhp model (AFB engine). I had it vag com'd by a mate last night and the MAF was reashing a maximum of 550/stroke when the engine really needed aroun 800/stroke according to vag.com. I've...

    Replacing crankcase breather on 2.5 V6 TDI - photos and description

    When i did the breather filter change i removed the section between the turbo and the exhaust. This helped create space to undo the pipe from near the turbo to the egr valve. It was fairly easy from there on. Bl**dy Audi sold me a new part but its exactly the same as the OE not the new part that...

    Knackered Engine mount!!

    Hmmm....... i have vibration in my car (around 70-80mph) and an oil leak that drips from the gearbox but don't where its leaking from exactly. I have a 2.5 tdi v6 (a4 1998). Is it likely that the same mount could have gone on mine and where is the oil leak likely to be coming from? ANY...

    Anyone got Vag.com in the South West?

    Exclamation mark on the dash so its brake related. I don't think its the ecu as i have DIY repaired it (soldered) and the light came on 3 months after repair and from stand still as opposed to after going over a bump or something. Someone said its prob a wheel sensor but i'd like to check if...
