    Fuel filter replacment

    Thanks. Looks like 8/14 to me. Also has a date stamp on the base 1.10.14. Would be consistent with when the car had its last service - Jan 2015.

    Fuel filter replacment

    Thanks, really helpful. Another garage claim to have changed this filter 3 weeks ago! They say this is expected discolouration after 3 weeks. In that time it has only had Texaco Supreme diesel flowing through it. The area in the engine bay beneath the filter was pristine and dry: as your video...

    Fuel filter replacment

    I've had some intermittent starting problems. Battery OK, so garage suggested replacing the fuel filter. Not sure if this was changed recently. How old does this filter look? 3 weeks? 3 months? 3 years??

    Anyone else with this problem on 2006 2.0 TDi? Injectors...

    No part numbers on my invoice. Sorry. Will ask when I return the call from 'Audi Customer Service'.

    Anyone else with this problem on 2006 2.0 TDi? Injectors...

    Sounds a lot, but that's only one per English county per quarter - which is why garages may be saying they're unaware. I suspect the actual incidence is considerably higher, having spent a few hours with the RAC guys, but only a minority actually report to VOSA.

    Anyone else with this problem on 2006 2.0 TDi? Injectors...

    Nottingham Audi have replaced all four injectors + wiring loom without charge. Excellent service. Spoke with VOSA chap following my report and he confirmed 90 cases in past 3 months. The problem is electrical integrity as the wiring loom passes through the manifold. The old injectors have only...

    Anyone else with this problem on 2006 2.0 TDi? Injectors...

    Audi are offering to replace single faulty injector and wiring loom FOC as goodwill gesture. Apparently they can't tell whether the injectors are from good or bad stock. They are quite happy for us to play Russian Roulette with the remainder, apparently. Can anyone techy out there tell me...

    170 PD Injector Horror Stories

    I've got a 56-plate 170PD. Had problems with the DPF in the early days, but seems to have been resolved with an engine remap at its first service. Have also stuck with low sulphur fuel, which other forum members were sceptical about. Injector went today -> sudden engine failure, while in fast...

    Glow plug lamp flashing + loss of power

    See this thread: 'Anyone else with this problem on 2006 2.0 TDi? injectors..." And threads on other fora too: A3 TDI PD injector loom issues - Audi Mag | VAGOC.co.uk Piezo Injector Failure, and subsequent detection and repair..

    Anyone else with this problem on 2006 2.0 TDi? Injectors...

    It is the safety aspect which worries me too. And it should be worrying Audi's insurers, because there will be fatalities. I was heading to Leeds in the outside lane of the M1 this morning when, without warning, I lost all power, and saw the glowplug light flicker briefly. I miraculously...

    DPF is a sack of sh*t

    Had some DPF problems to begin with - see earlier threads. However, the engine was reprogrammed when the car was in to have the steering rack sorted under warranty and I have since stuck to low-sulphur diesel: BP Ultimate, Sainsury's City diesel, etc. No problems with DPF since then, but...

    An observation on ESP

    I'd be grateful for an answer to this one. I have noticed the car being unsettled in some corners. However, I have no pedigree as a kart racer, so thought it was just my very average driving. Feel nervous about switching ESP off for the same reason. Perhaps I could switch off most of the time...

    A Triumph for Audi Engineering!!!!

    Had a similar experience in my old A4. I parked up briefly in narrow street: as I rang the doorbell I heard a loud smash, and turned round to see a car (Astra I think) drive up the street with its mirror hanging off. Went to inspect my mirror and there was just a slight scuff on it. I assumed I...

    Got the new S3 - Bluetooth Problem

    I recently had a problem with the Audi Bluetooth system: the module had to be replaced under warranty. It doesn't sound as if that is the problem here though, since the module is brand new and is working with another phone. I also have a Nokia 6300, and this pairs just fine. I've upgraded the...

    Bluetooth problems

    Good news. The new Bluetooth module fitted today appears to work fine with my Nokia 6300. :) Hopefully a new module will fix your problem too GeoffT?

    Bluetooth problems

    They told me it had to come from Germany, hence the 3 week delay in booking the car in. Hope its there on Monday . . . .
