    In need of an ABS controller

    Eik, I've just ordered one from this place: http://www.thomsonlocal.com/A1-Auto-Dismantlers/0014616909801345000/map/companyinfo.html Found them through breakeryard.com - £75+VAT+delivery (£96 in total)... figured that was less than BBA-Reman were charging. It says it's brand-new too, so if it's...

    In need of an ABS controller

    Ok, so getting sick of the flashing (!) and three beeps on start-up (oh, and my MOT coming round) I decided to whip off my ABS controller and send off to BBA-Reman (who I only ever hear good reports of). Having heard nothing for over a week (though to be fair their engineers were stuck due to...

    Fixed my HID light now wont start! help!

    It is odd, but it's been running fine since. I always start it with throttle half depressed since if I don't it just stalls as soon as it's started (don't even have time to boot throttle after starting). This normally works perfectly, but obviously didn't on that one day. I wonder if I had a...

    Fixed my HID light now wont start! help!

    Called RAC out in the end. He started it by using his battery pack and jump leads after 30sec of turning. Reckons it was undoubtedly flooded. Rather puzzling... but I'll see how it goes today and post back if I experience more problems. Otherwise, thanks Aragorn for all your help.

    Fixed my HID light now wont start! help!

    Just taken the relay into the house and tested across the switched outputs and it clicks and changes voltage... so I'm guessing the relay is fine.

    Fixed my HID light now wont start! help!

    Just got home and bridged the relay contacts (relay 4 has a diagram on the bottom with T, 30, 86, 87 and 87a). I bridged 30, 87 and 87a with ignition on and whilst turning, nothing, no sparks and no whir from the pump. I put the relay back in and tried again and with a friend's help there is a...

    ... also checked some of the other neighbouring fuses... stereo is live, rear heater is live, engine control unit is dead! Or would it be until it starts? Or is the circuit fried...

    Mmm, sounds plausible. I don't have a manual, can you tell me the relay number?

    Fixed my HID light now wont start! help!

    Hmm, no sound coming from the pump (even took the cover off). Also no voltage across the connector going to the pump. ... Also, no voltage across the pins for fuse 28 - Fuel Pump! Neither on ignition nor whilst turning over. Hmm, what would cause that? Key battery was one thought I had (though...

    Fixed my HID light now wont start! help!

    OK, just managed to get the wife to nip out to help me test for a spark. The plug I tested smelled of petrol, and sparked fine when engine turned. How do I know if the fuel pump is running while cranking?

    Fixed my HID light now wont start! help!

    Ok, home now. Just run a test at starting with vagcom logging. Here's the result. (NB. reads better if you open with Excel, as opposed to using a non-Microsoft browser like FireFox which decides to open in the browser) Anything look strange there? Thanks,

    Fixed my HID light now wont start! help!

    Thanks for the advice. I'll try what you suggest this afternoon when I get home. I have the 2.8v6 engine. The other thing is that I have the non-registered version of vagcom, so lots of features are disabled by default. I'll try checking for engine RPM though and post back later.

    Fixed my HID light now wont start! help!

    Hmm, not sure what's buzzing. I'll try and find out, but it could well be the door-open warning that just isn't working properly because the circuit isn't complete. I don't mean the full air intake - just the plastic that goes from above the radiator and into the air filter, and the plastic...

    Fixed my HID light now wont start! help!

    So, here's the saga: My A4 1999 Quattro driver's headlight failed about a fortnight ago. Initially I thought it was the bulb so bought a new one (at £60+VAT!). Took it to Audi as I didnt' want to touch the thing, they fitted it and said it wasn't that; they didn't charge though, which I was...
