I'm near Newcastle - don't know of any Audi specialists. Might search the web but if someone can make a recommendation that would be great,

OK - done some tinkering and not sure what the problem is anymore... I removed the cluster unplugged and replugged the loom. That solved the problem - for a short while. So far temp guage works and is totally accurate. Fuel guage is back to old tricks. 2 short journeys and a refuel and...

I have 3 choices... 1. Sell it 2. Fix it & keep it 3. Keep it and stop spending on it. New to me in December, it is a 120,000 mile 2.5 Tdi on a 51 plate. Unremarkable apart from it has been clocked by some plonker a few years ago (shows 60k on clock) and shunted in the back - which seems to...

I've been onto the dealer local to me. They want £612 to supply and fit the part. I asked if they would guarantee the work and to do that they want an additional £75 for a diagnostic that would tell me if everything was working the way it should. I assume that I would be able to drive away with...

Just getting to grips with my 2001 A4 2.5 Tdi. It has exhibited a huge array of odd faults over the short time I've had it. So far I have replaced all the ABS sensors, the battery, temp sensor, thermostat. Most of my gremlins have gone; all save 2. 1. Fuel guage is erratic 2. Temp gauge...

I've just got my hands on a nearly new Audi S4. It looks to be a really nice vehicle but is missing navigation. I am very dependent on my Sat Nav and feel somewhat reluctant to suction-cup a £99 TomTom job to the windscreen of a £30k car. Does anyone know what is involved in getting nav...

My advice would be definately add the quattro... I never looked at Audi until I bought an old A4 a few weeks ago - specifically to keep me moving in the snow. It is a 2.5Tdi 51 plate with quattro. It is astonishingly good in the snow. I have owned two freelanders, a 110 defender double cab and a...

Cheers everyone... the stat is getting changed as I type. I'm more a cheque book owner than a box of tools owner - every five minute job I turn my hand to takes a week due to inexperience. The unfortunate thing here is that the timing belt was changed by a VW dealer just a few days ago... I...

Just tried dipping the temp sensor in a cup of coffee. The sensor and guage are working! I got a reading of 90 deg C from water straight from kettle into a cold cup - so probably about right... So I can assume that the coolant in the vehicle isn't reaching temperature. Why would this be? is...

I've had an issue with the temp guage ever since I got the car. It is the 2.5tdi... I have changed the temp sensor but wondering if there is anything else I should try. Guage typically doesn't move at all (reads a low temp) very occasionally it seems to rise to 50 to 55 deg C. Would it be...

Too quick off the mark... Temp guage still isn't working. It briefly read over 55 deg C which is the highest I've seen it go and I assumed it would carry on all the way to 90 once warm... but no. Stuck at 55. Is there anything else I should look at changing or is there a way of diagnosing what...

Coolant sensor now changed (it really is a five minute job (must be a different engine that has it located behind a belt) that hasn't noticeably altered the running of the engine but guage now reads true. Next will be engine mounts.

I've just put up a post about my car 2.5 Tdi (A4 on 51 plate) I was told something about an engine mount fault but garage advised me not to do anything about it. Engine vibrates the car at idle and I think it is noisy... does this happen with yours and have you been told that changing the...

Yes the car idles nicely... there is a slight ticking noise that I think is rather odd. but there is no lumpyness or revving. The clutch theory doesn't fit with any of my past experieinces with clutches. There is no noise or vibration on depressing the clutch and no effect what-so-ever on the...

Thanks for the information... about the mileage - I would agree - some things seem odd about the car with that mileage! The cambelt has been done. Which is a shame as they should have done the thermostat at the same time! Never mind - will take that up with them. Do you know what is involved...

Hi - I'm new to Audis and new here... hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction. Any help would be hugely appreciated. Car: 2.5 V6 Tdi (180) AKE engine code (I think) 60,000 miles 2001 51 plate has been bumped in the back (chap that repaired it sold it to me) needed new...
