Took the car back to the garage as I am not capable of doing this work on my own. They claim they tested each sensor and ring and can't find anything wrong with them. Any other ideas or should I get a second opinion?

Thanks for the replies! I was hoping it wasn't the ECU and I'm not sure why the garage suggested I change it. They never mentioned the rings at all. I will check out the rings and test. Thanks again

Hi Guys, I need a bit of advice. I have a 1998 Audi A4 (B5) 2.5 TDi Quattro and I have some kind of problem when I am braking. Issues with the car: The brakes are giving feedback at slow speeds but seem to work fine at higher speeds. While breaking the peddle kicks back slightly with a noise...

Hi, I checked last night and the front side lights do go out when I put main beam on as well as the rear lights. I have ordered a new stalk from Audi and I will fit it tomorrow or Thursday and let you know if that fixes everything. Thank you very much for your help!

Well I don't know about everyone else but I definitely live in the middle of nowhere. This morning was -23C and with my studded winter tyres my Quattro thinks its summer, despite the completely snow covered roads. :-) Unfortunately my car is off the road at the moment and I was only driving it...

Hi, Thanks for the reply. I tried to test the lights by unpluging the headlamps as you suggested but I couldn't get the left side undone. I removed the wire clip that holds the plug closed but it was stuck I think. Maybe it was frozen, but I will try again when the weather gets a bit warmer or...

Hi, I had a look, sorry for the delay! The Bosch battery is a Silver S4 12V 574 012 068 680A 74Ah. On my other car I have a battery that was recommended by Audi here in Finland which is a Varta DE 12V 85Ah 450 A DIN 760A. I hope that means something to you. I got that info directly off the...

Hi, I live in Finland and last winter I put a Bosch Silver battery in the car. Even with my thermostat not working and the glow plugs not coming on at all, it still started in -28 C! Very slowly cranked over of course but still started. I have been really happy with the Bosch battery but don't...

Well, I guess it was a long shot. The MOT ran out and so the car is pretty useless to me now. I took it to Audi and they told me the wiring was fine. They kept the car for nearly 7 hours and couldn't find out what was causing the problem. I have no idea how to fix this now though. No auto...

Hi guys, I’d really appreciate some help with my Audi A4 B5 from ‘98. I have a problem with my rear lights. I took the car for an MOT and it failed because the rear lights go out whenever the headlights are switched to main beam. I hadn't noticed this during the summer because I never used...

Wow, I just read through what happened to your mum. I really hope you get justice at the trial. Good luck.

Wow! There must be something wrong with mine! I have a A4 2.5tdi quattro 1998 model and my daily commute is 60 miles of none stop motorway each way, I drive between 60 and 70mph depending on traffic and I still only get 400 miles out of a tank full. I'm seriously thinking that there is something...

When I bought my 2.5tdi with 120,000 on the clock it had a full service history with only the first 3 done by Audi main dealer. It didn't put me off at all. A full service history is a full service history right? I check out the garages that had done the services and they all seemed very good so...

The hard drive in a PS3 is a standard 2.5" sata hard drive. The same type you find in most laptops. If the hard drive isn't faulty there is no reason why you cannot take the hard drive out and switch it into a new PS3. The problem is that switching the hard drive will format it (loosing all the...

I have the same problem with mine. The back two are the worst. Drivers side is already missing while the passenger side is threatening to come loose. I live in Finland and went to the local Audi dealer who told me these are only sold in sets of 4 (2 front 2 back). They want to charge me over...

Hi, you're totally right! I have H rated on the winter tyres and V on the summer ones. Don't know how I confused that one! :-) I had checked the price of the T and H and they were both the same here so I asked for the 210km/h.

My 205 55 R16 winter tyres are T rated but there wasn't a difference in price for me. Is the difference in price very big? T rating was worth it for me as I ended up in Germany at one point and couldn't resist the autobahn. :-) Generally though the speed ratings makes little difference in the...

They aren't the best pictures as it was snowing and dark but I hope they are helpful anyway. Let me know if you cannot see them.

Hi. I have some pics but I can't seem to put them in a post. I have them in an album on this forum on my profile page though.

Wow, -18 in the UK is low. Lowest I've seen so far this winter is -29 but I'm in Finland with studded winter tyres! I couldn't imagine driving round in -18 without winter studs in my tyres! Britain is certainly getting colder.
