    Door problems?

    Hi, it is possible to do this without removing the frame, I did mine last year, its not easy though. You need to do this by feel really. First take the internal door card off. There is a threaded rod that come down from the internal latch with a black plastic clip that holds it in place. You...

    Suspension niggle

    I had a similar issue with mine, turned out to be the lower bent arm. Went through about 2 MOT's without a problem, no obvious sign of movement on close inspection. Only obvious on uneven surfaces...

    A6 1.8t air con blowing warm when stationary, cold when moving

    Hi, I had the same problem with mine, its the secondary fan (smaller one) that is probably at fault. You can check this yourself, basically when your aircon is on this should also be on. Its a very common failure on many VAG cars. I have a document I can send you on how I diagnosed mine if...

    Air con not working - advise needed

    If the fan doesn't work with 12v directly to the terminals, its certainly the problem. I had the same issue with mine. There are is a fan output test on VAG COM which you can also use. I have a write up on how to change\repair the fan which I can email you if you PM me your email.

    Overheating when stationary (aircon/fan problem)

    I would have to disagree with you on that, without the secondary fan your air con will not work efficiently when stationary. If you are short on funds its worthwhile stripping the motor and cleaning out the dust. The most common cause of failure of this motor is the carbon brushes either wearing...

    Overheating when stationary (aircon/fan problem)

    I think you may have 2 separate problems here. Common causes of overheating with no other obvious signs is waterpump, well documented on here. Basically the plastic impeller comes adrift internally so could well be the cause if it hasn't been changed, perhaps more noticable when in traffic, no...

    My new daily, A4 TQS

    Thats correct the "710" would be fine and a lot cheaper! If funds are limited I would concentrate on making sure there are no problems with what you've got. Invest in a Vag Com lead and check there are no underlying problems (e.g.like n75 valve not working etc making it flat) and what's...

    vagcom/tacho and getting in to the ecu. as i cant?

    The normal fix for this is to have the abs ecu repaired. There are a number of people who do this (e.g. BBS Reman). Basically you can take the ecu off the pump and send it off for testing\repair. There are lots of threads on this and a guide on the audiworld tech articles. I had mine repaired...

    Removing Secondary Radiator Fan

    Ok, just a quick update. Stripped my old fan down tonight using the guide below:- A4 radiator fan removal and replacement - TDIClub Forums my fan was a different to the one in the pictures but similar enough to follow. The brushes were worn but a bit sticky in their guides. I cleaned out...

    Removing Secondary Radiator Fan

    I did think of a s\h one but they seem to be a common failure. I was quoted £170 by the garage for a genuine new one. There were a couple on ebay going for around £50 then I saw this new one for £45 :- AUDI A4 VW PASSAT AUDI A6 AUDI A8 RAD FAN 8D0959455C | eBay This would have fitted my...

    Removing Secondary Radiator Fan

    Hi, had exactly the same issue on my A6 this week! Garage wanted £450 to replace the fan\labour\regas. Got a fan from GPC for £60 and changed it myself one evening in about 1 hour. The garage said they would need to strip the entire front end off, but after a few minutes searching the forums I...

    Knock knock knock.

    Hi, I had a very similar issue, changed the c-links etc, tried checking for play in the arms, even went through 2 MOT's with nothing identified. In the end I asked at my local Audi dealers and after a short drive they pointed to the lower bent arm. Changed this and it fixed the problem. Couldn't...

    C5 Avant rear washer issue

    Hi, there are 2 screws you need to remove as well. One is behind the flap that holds the warning triangle and the other is in the recess for the grab handle. Mine doesn't have a blind so not sure if there are any additional screws for this. I had a similar issue with mine, someone had...

    Blown engine......HELP!!!

    Oil cooler leaking into coolant system is a common problem. Straight forward to replace, flushing all the old coolant out is probably more difficult. Quite a few years since I changed one but approx £60 for the part. Would think that a garage would charge around 1-2 hour labour to do including...

    No indicators, lights, wipers or heating when car is running? But fine on ignition!

    +1 to that, happened to me. The ignition switch is pretty straight forward to change, its a simple change over no coding or key cutting required. There is a good write up on audiworld tech articles. Its not too expensive either (by Audi standards anyway!)
