Chris, The car will need go to the auction end at ebay. If it doesn't make reserve then I can do a deal or strip and scrap. Quite a few people asking about it. Postcode is KA2 0JN for your future information. The dog guard will go in our new car. Cloth interior is correct- grey. It does have DIS...

Hi Chris, Had a few questions on it already. 6 speed manual. Reserve is set at £400 so you dont waste your time if it's too much. This is based on Scrap value at the moment being around 200 for a car and 200 for the pumps which are obviously worth a lot more. The engine also has the newer type...

Hi Guys, Thanks for info. Car is on ebay. It would be an awfull distance for you to come up for it Chris as it would need trailored away. Regards. John.

Hi J, I wonder.... If the followers can be replaced without taking the head off then it might be worth considering doing. The engine rotates fine by hand and on the starter. The metallic tapping is only when it's trying to fire. That may point to followers. Although at the end of the day...

Yep the specified was 80,000 miles but I dont remember it specifying an "or time" as well although it is now advised to be 5 years. I would've done the belt at the time of the pump if the front end was off but my mechanic mate managed to change it supporting the belt at top and withdrawing the...

My wife was driving our car home last week when it stopped. Discovered that the timing belt was split long ways so half of it was still on the pulleys. Stripped it down rotated egnie by hand and the timing marks etc lined up OK. Rather than rush out and by full set of belts and tensioners etc we...

Yep. I understand what you are saying but I got it started after the "fix". Then it died after about a minute. The transistor that I replaced was overheating. I think this drives the fuel quantity spooling solenoid on the side which might mean the solenoid is faulty as well. I've messed about...

I found a fix for this on another forum. Turns out most of the failures on this pump are down to failure of a transistor inside the EDC unit attached to the pump. There is an online video that shows you how to remove the EDC with the pump still on the car to send it away for testing and repair...

Thanks. Have just sent them an email. Not looking good is it? Ouch. Think the pumps are over £1,000. Going to do some more digging. I will let you know if I get it going or scrap the whole ****** thing.

Thanks guys, My worry here is you may be right. The fuel pump hose goes into the return piping connectors within the tank. I will try a suction pump to prime the system and as you say put a new filter on and hopefully that might work. My fear here is that when the feed hose was dry I...

I replaced the in tank fuel pump on my 1998 A4 2.5TDi avant quattro as it wasn't feeding fuel up to the filter. Now when false feeding the pump on the plug at the tank end I cant get the new pump to even throw some diesel out. Starting to think the old pump was OK as I could hear it running but...

Nicknick - Good to hear you got yours fixed as well. Mine has been fine since replacing with the newer oil mist seperator part. IMO audi should not be selling the older one as the problem comes around again too quickly. But in a lot of cases the dealers dont even know that this is a problem and...

A friend of mine has just bought a petrol 1.6 A4. It was stuttering at lower speeds and going up hills. I put the computer on it and it had a few faults. Lambda/engine speed sensor and cam position sensor. I had a quick look under the bonnet and noted a new lambda sensor fitted and air flow...

Haven't been on here myself for a time. But I have run with the EGR disconnected and this did work for a short period of time and then problem returned. I have not yet put the new oil mist seperator in although I plan to do this over the xmas holidays. I will also do the EGR valve as you have...

Thought I would follow up on this. Did the recode this morning with my freeware VAGCOM version. Using instructions as supplied by replies with no problems. Selected scan tool / radio and the code that came up was 00117.(Stereo unit had DIAG) Changed this to 00017 but it was just the same. When I...

Thanks for the info guys. john.

Well I will try the VAGCOM as you have both said the HU needs to be told to turn on the internal amp for the front speaklers as that is my problem. Andy which pin is the bose/gamma pin then and can it be connected or disconnected to make it work or sound better? Or Am I better just leaving it...

Thanks guys, A bit of good news then. I just have to find out if my freeware version allows me this facility. Probably not. It's a pity that you buy it from ebay thinking it is the same but then discover 2 different types. Is the other Blaupunkt? John.

Will check but all looked OK in comparison. Read that it may need some adjustment using the VAGCOM software-can anyone confirm? (I have the freeware version so it probably wont let me do it in there) Or has anyone replaced the facias on these? If so I could maybe just swap them if it's an...

Mine are worn. Are the bushes dealer only? Or does anyone have polybush info and prices for this. Dealer prices for rear(of car) bottom wishbone are as follows: This is one side. Rear bush inner(to chassis) £17.44 inc. vat Front bush inner(to chassis) £10.43each need 2 so £20.86 Outer (bushes...
