    B6 Useful Ebay finds

    This Ad is a scam. I was in contact with him and he claims he is a Flight Sergeant for the RAF named David Barow. He replies in broken English and tries to make you complete a extremely long winded transaction through PayPoint. Unfortunately for him I work for the MOD and have checked his name...

    Electrical Problem?

    Ok so I've checked under the carpet and around the black box under there and bone dry. I checked in the ecu box under the bonnet and nothing there either. My mate with vag-com has mis placed the cable at the mo so still not scanned but will be asap. I will keep you posted on any progress. Any...

    Electrical Problem?

    Thanks for the replies guys. I checked the carpet in passenger footwell last night and bone dry. Could it get wet underneath with no signs on the carpet? I have a saloon (sorry should have said) so no rear washer to leak! I can't see this affecting the electrics but i've just fitted new RS4...

    Electrical Problem?

    Hi all, I try not to post looking for advice on forums too much as I can usually find what i'm looking for through a search but this issue has me stumped. I was driving home last night and my hazard warning button started flashing (just the button, not the indicator bulbs) then my instrument...

    1.8T BEX 190 - sludge in vacuum system.

    Thanks for the replies chaps! I'm now beginning to see yellowy gunk on the oil cap, very thin but its there and this suggests coolant mixing with the oil. So, Mark - I was thinking crack in the head as well (but very uncommon on all 1.8t's from what I can gather) or head gasket. Getting it...

    1.8T BEX 190 - sludge in vacuum system.

    another update:- So, cleaned the pipes again, nothing really obvious that could have been a blockage, took the car for a drive and still smoking!! not a long drive but a hard one to see if could blow some crud away but still smokes when left idling. Maybe it needs a longer drive? but I...

    ESP Light On Temp Guage Falling to Min

    Strange that you don't have any other syptoms!? When my ESP light came on the car would shut off briefly and then come back to life with the light on, if i was moving when this happened the revs dropped as if engine was off and came back to life with ESP on, if i was stationary, then the car...

    ESP Light On Temp Guage Falling to Min

    I really can't remember what fault codes came up. Probably misfires amongst others . . . Yeah its the same thing, that's just what they called it on my bill statement. Does it ever cut out and struggle to start when still warm?

    1.8T BEX 190 - sludge in vacuum system.

    Thanks Andi, Thing is though I replaced my pressure reg valve and crankcase breather valve 2 weeks ago along with cleaneing ALL the pipes from TIP through PRV to the crank breather valve, so i'm hoping they haven't gone bad again. Car runs smooth as silk though and idling is perfect so i'm...

    1.8T BEX 190 - sludge in vacuum system.

    Anyone? Update though just incase someone is keeping an eye on this with the same problem: After further researching it is possible i've found for such symptoms to be caused by a blocked breather. Basically smoke can be caused by increase in crank case pressure because of blockage in...

    ESP Light On Temp Guage Falling to Min

    No probs, left mine for prob 2 months before i finally figured out what was causing it and get round to fitting the sensor. It did get progressively worse and eventually would stall/cut out and not restart until it had cooled down . . . This was when i thought enough is enough as got me into a...

    ESP Light On Temp Guage Falling to Min

    Temp sensor. Had the same symptoms on my old b6 1.8t and no problems after I changed it. Part number is 071 957 147 - impulse sender. Cost me about £60 but that was with a mates discount.

    1.8T BEX 190 - sludge in vacuum system.

    1.8T BEX 190 I'm having a problem with sludge in the vacuum system. Already cleaned pipes and replaced PRV & crankcase breather valve 2 weeks ago but sludge has come back - this time it seems to be thinner (more watered down) than last time and if I were honest it looks like what you would...

    Anybody running Jom coilovers??

    Thank & no problem mate. Me & my mate fitted them and tbh they were a f*****g nightmare . . . . . he's a lot more mechanically sound than i am so i pretty much left him to it though. If i were you though (hindsights a ******) i would set everything as close as possible to the height you...

    Anybody running Jom coilovers??

    Hi, i'm currently running JOM's Blueline set up on my A4 b6 1.8T Quattro as they were cheap & due to a sheared rear spring and leaking shocks they needed replacing quick (but sooner than i was hoping). Anyway, I wasn't planning on keeping them too long mainly because i thought they were TOO...

    A couple of quickies

    Thought i'd chip in . . . . . . . Fitted HID's about 8 months ago and the difference was quite staggering. If you have the projector lights (correct me if i'm wrong but i believe all b6's do) then the HID on dipped will, assuming you've fitted the headlight back in near enough staright n level...
