My engine doesn't tick over very smoothly, with the rev's rising and falling by about 200 rpm. Also under hard acceleration it miss's slightly. Do you think a set of plugs/leads a distributor cap and new rotor arm would sort it. The cars a 95 1.6 saloon with 85k on the clock Thanks

I think I have a poltergeist in my car When I first got the car I found that if I sat in the car without the engine running I would hear a noise from the rear of the car that sounded like either the fuel flap solenoid or the boot lock trying to close/open (this may have been happening with the...

Are B5 brakes all terrible in the wet and if so is there an easy fix?

Snake Pass:thumbsup:

I've read somewhere on this forum that some A4's have sockets built in to the wiring loom for foot well lights Anybody know if the 95 B5 1.6 has this facility? If not, would someone tell me where the control unit for the interior light is please? Would it be safe to switch a relay via the...

I know how the spring and damper works but what do all the control arms etc do? Are they there just to keep the hub level or do they also alter the shock characteristics like a rising rate system found on motorcycles? A link to an article would be great Thanks Jarvis

Which parts should I grease regularly On my bikes I've always removed bolts and copper slipped them to prevent them seizing, are there any bolts prone to seizing that I should consider lubricating? I read somewhere on this forum that the suspension arm ball joints can have their service life...

I'm replacing the tatty gear change boot, removing the old one was easy enough, remove gear knob and pull. I assumed that the plasic retainer would be held in by clips but I guess that would be to easy I've uncovered the two rear 8mm headed screws holding the rear of the console in place...

I've noticed my A4 had its cam belt changed at 75k but there's no mention of the water pump on the receipt From what I've read on the forum this should have been changed at the same time, and considering the extra cost of replacing it later, I don't know why it wasn't The cars a 95 1.6 B5 Now I...

I've been looking through the receipts the previous owner gave me with the car and I've come to the conclusion that A4's seem to go through suspension components, brakes etc at an alarming rate with the previous owners spending a fortune keeping the car in a road worthy condition. Question is...
