I have also posted this over in the a4 section as the clocks are the same. Hi all, I have my A6 (I know this is a4 section) and i have rebuilt the 1.8t and only remaining problem is the clocks don't work. They are the later type with no dis and no analogue clock. The warning lights all works...

Just a wee update. As suggested by many i had blocked oil pick-up strainer. It was blocked solid with little bits of what seemed like hard carbon and slime. Cleaned it out and changed the oil pump just in-case and she runs great now- very lucky that no permanent damage was done. Thanks to all...

Hi all, I have my A6 (I know this is a4 section) and i have rebuilt the 1.8t and only remaining problem is the clocks don't work. They are the later type with no dis and no analogue clock. The warning lights all works but none of the other lights or gauges do?? I borrowed a set of clocks from...

My 2001 a6 has a faulty instrument pod- none of the analogue sensors work so i'm guessing it is fecked. I have picked up a set of pre face-lift (analogue clock as opposed to digital unit on old clocks) clocks with a different part number but from a 1.8t all the same. My question is will they...

Thanks lads. The new tensioned is fitted, the old guides were heavily grooved but not broken and the gauze was not blocked. After fitting ran it for all of 5 seconds and still low oil pressure, the sump will be coming off this weekend and new oil pump going in and strainer cleaned fingers...

I had the dreaded oil light come on along with bad noise form the cam chain, fearing the worst i removed the cam cover and all is looking ok, no scoring on the cams that god. I have a replacement tensioner on the way and intend to drop the sump to check the pick up pipe. The breather thing was...

Cheers Mark. Would my ecu freak out if the vvt wasn't used? Does the awt defo have vvt? Does £600 sound good for a ajl with turbo and ancillaries attached under 90k? Would be a nice 30brake increase on standard

Hi guys, i've just bought my first a6. Previously owning multiple vag cars. It is a 1.8T AWT code but the oil pump has failed so i am investigating replacing the unit as opposed to repairing. Is it possible to swap the unit for AJL version without wiring troubles?? The AWT is drive by wire but...

Hi all, my a4 has recently started to suffer from turbo surging, my boost gauge is bouncing from 1bar to 1.5bar and the car does not feel happy. I have a forge splitter in recirculating mode, and am wondering if it has now settled in and perhaps the spring needs adjusting, from my sympton...

Dip stick only has oil on it, it doesn't seem to be overheating at all, no excess pressure..... I'm going out to collect a oil cooler this morning from euro, fingers crossed

Well looks light head gasket is fecked, french mustard in expansion tank- no water in the oil/ engine but waterways are bunged up stinking mess. I have played about with the plug gaps and the car is smoother but still not boosting well- could the head gasket be effecting this- (bet that is a...

Whilst problem shooting my failing boost i changed the temp sender, when i removed the old one i found what looks like french mustard. Expansion tank was the same. I have flushed it through with a bit of soap powder and loads of **** came out. Have refilled the system with a bars leaks shot...

Hi, yup i have closed the gap to 0.028- ****** tiny gap but no difference............... :confused:

Plugs look spot on, not wet or burnt. I have vag com but am not to hot at using the advanced functions. What am i looking for

Ok update time. Have swapped MAF= no change between new and old one, swapped n75 =no change, swapped coil packs =no change. Will change plugs today- have bought NGK bkr6e's. I noted today that when the turbo spools the boost gauge is going mad- bouncing up and down, if i keep my foot in it and...

Hey Aragorn, do you run those plugs with a smaller gap? :icon_thumright:

Thanks guys. It has iridium plugs that all look to be in good nick. Any preferred makes or types. Has anybody tried non bosch MAF's

1.8T chipped. Under wot it is stuttering badly, boost gauge is bouncing up and down violently- I have swapped over coilpacks for known good ones, swapped ignition amp for good one, all boost pipes are good. I recently swapped out my n75 j back to standard n75 c, but it was fines for 4days...

Sounds valid Aragorn as the oil was reasonably clean before and now is dark and thin. Maybe my crap hose clip has saved me a future job- fingers crossed

Hose that goes from DV down to the big pipe which come from the inter-cooler side- yeah I'm a chef so tech descriptions may not be strictly accurate..... :motz:
