    Engine Overheating - Water Pump?

    Thanks to everyone that replied. I can reveal that IT WAS the water pump. I replaced the thermostat switch first and that made no difference. Took it to Red Oak Garage in Maidstone and they replaced the pump which cured the fault. Cost £140 parts and £235 labour. They also replaced the cab...

    First coil pack failure

    Man i feel bad. My A4 1.8T 2003 was juddering under load 2 weeks ago. I shelled out £219 for the stealer to change coil pack 3. Man i was robbed. Diagnosis was what i needed, wish i'd called the AA out now to diagnose the fault then i could have done the job myself.

    Lots of Questions - Upgrading A4 (B6) Stereo

    Thanks Andy. Just to confirm your setup. You run your Alpine Amp powering stealth sub and front speakers from your FRONT pre amp out. And your rear speakers are powered by the head unit amp using the standard rear line out? If so then the original Audi sub is now redundant yes? Also if...
