going back to the cold weather enrichment, how does that work? is it all via ecu with info from the coolant temp sensor?
how could i check if this sensor works ok
would that show up on a ecu scan as it went to audi to be checked etc and the scan turned up nothing.
they did decoke it though which made no difference, charge me for the privilege as that was'nt under warranty
my 1.6 is using losing about 50 miles per tank of fuel on a motorway/a road run when the outside temp is quite cold(early morning/late evening). I know about cold air is denser etc but was wondering if the incoming air temp is controlled at all by being directed past exhaust manifold etc as some...
if your 1.8 is same layout etc as my 1.6 a3 1999 then you should be able to get the plugs out by removing the top cover ( a few nuts) then with a narrow extension bar with a bendy universal thing that lets you use sockets at different angles (can't remember name of tool). watch hands when...
pretty sure if you can get it towed to a good local mechanic he should be able to drill out housing and put a TIME insert in if there is one the right size.. Had shocks replaced on previous car and one of the bolts seized and snapped so they did the above in half hour.
Did you really give it...
Have just been reading all of these posts etc. Got a 1.6 manual with 18"RS4 reps on plus 2 amps stereo etc with new air filter, plugs+leads. Even when this car was std with original 15" steels i used to get 300 miles to a tank(filling to shut off etc). I think it used to work out to roughly...

have replaced head unit with front load pioneer/mp3 etc +front speakers so far.
2 amps +sub to follow/rear shelf etc. and the only thing that will look **** is the autoleads surround.

what does it mean if it does not come on at all. handbook does not mention this?
have put new pioneer...
as haynes do not do a maual for my 1.6 1999 a3 does anyone know where/who does one. a genuine audi one would be nice but as a rough guess you can't buy one anywhere.
would i be right in thinking that the a3 1.6 8v sohc is the same(near enough) as the a4 one? cos haynes do do one for that
help...
have just bought an 1.6 a3 99/T reg. would like to change wheels for a set of 16inch audi a4 rims. presume these will fit ok with 205x50 or similar? dont really want to go to 17s
