Hi Folks,
What's the story with the theromstat / water pump on the EA888 engines?
Was / is there a recall on them ?
If so which variants of S1 with EA 888 are involved?
Thanks
Mike

Try shouting at your local dealer....an audi should not have flakey paint ....
Mine changed the one that was flaking and I bought the other side an upgraded both sides to the euro versions. Much more efficient and also quieter, they seem to sit below the bonnet line.

Thanks Dave
Lets hope the newer designed unit will last a bit better. When I disected my old unit it was exactly as described in the How To write-up. But it might be possible to repace the batteries with different laptop batteries instead....will see..

Well here's a wee update.
Collected new sounder on Friday, Audi have changed the design to a new slim line unit, which has a larger mounting bolt. Drilled out the original bracket to accept this larger bolt and fitted it in the same place as the old unit .
Reset all fault codes and ran the car...
If the sensor was faulty would it not through up errors with vagcom ? or just show a strange temperature display. Sister in law has an earlier A3 with a similar problem.
There is no button on any stalk to switch off this display I think this option was only available on later models with...
Hi Sprocket,
New unit cost £81.36 inc. from audi dealer. Sounder has 3 wires.

I've ordered a new sounder from audi. I decided as it is part of the integral security on the car not to mess with it. Can't really afford the time to mess with it. I will dismantle the old unit when I get it out to see what is going on. I can't believe that there is...
Thanks A44NI
Will have a look in the morning. How do I get at it, do I have to remove the seat or can I get access by just pushing the seat back ?
Would I not expect to see more fault codes with Vagcom ?
Thanks
Mike
