    Ghost in the machine

    I posted about the window ghost a month or so ago. I have twice come back to my car to find the passenger window fully open. Once in a busy car park! Sort of glad to know it does happen to others as I thought I was loosing the plot. Couldn't work out how I was opening the window by locking the...

    Symptoms of a blocked cat

    I had a completely blocked cat on my 2.5 and driving gently it seemed ok but put your foot down and nothing would happen. It wouldn't rev over 3k in 3rd, 2 1/2K in 4th and 2K in 5th and 6th. If you can get someone to cut the side of the cat and remove some without doing a load of diagnostic...

    a4 2.5 tdi lack of power

    Cheers for the reply. The MAF is brand new and the turbo was cleaned 200 miles ago. My friend who used to be an audi tech seems to think it may be a timing issue or the cat blocked. Exhaust doesn't make sense as it drove ok prior to cambelt which was done 140 miles ago. His suggestion now is...
