    Hello again from Guildford

    Hi all, Having last been on here almost 5 years ago with my '99 A4 1.8T and '98 2.8 Quattro, both of which I loved and still miss, I was dragged into the Bavarian camp for work for some time. Now I'm back helping my mate to find info and service / parts tips for his recent purchase - an 8P 2006...

    1.8T APU idle hunting on load

    Hi all, Basically I think I might know the answer, just wanted to see what you thought? 99 FL 1.8T Tiptronic. I've plugged in the car and have no codes on VCDS. The car is fine on throttle response, but when I get to idle, fine in neutral and park, but when I sit there in gear and foot on the...

    New owner with an auto box problem

    I've a 1.8T Sport auto FL and that has the tiptronic 5 speed. If you don't have tiptronic gate then it'll be a 4 speed. Mine does 2750 rpm in 5th at 70. 80 is just touching 2900. HTH

    My A4 B5 1.8TQS S4/RS4

    Personally, I prefer the OZs but then each to their own.... I think the 3SDMs are "marmite" wheels :indecisiveness:

    Fluctuating temp guage, AFN 1.9tdi......

    +1 with Aragorn and Mike B.... it's the stat. My 1.8T was doing this and changed the stat twice to fix it. ECP sell Circoli and Behr....... avoid Circoli at ALL costs. New stat then stuck open. Replaced it with one from Andrew Page...... 4.99 all in. Gauge is bang on now and heaters hotter than...

    External Lower Door Weather Seal

    Thanks Aragorn, that would be fantastic. Please PM me with them. I'm after both fronts but would take the full set off you. Driver's was rusty and basically fell off!! :( They make or break a good car IMO. Shame Audi didn't just put them on sale! LOL

    External Lower Door Weather Seal

    Kingfisher, Thanks for the update.... mine was bought as a 108k good car and is now still quite good @ 123k so I'd like to sort them. I took one off the driver's door yesterday ready to fit the new one, good luck with yours and well done on the Brownie points........ :)

    Small hose clips - what tool?

    Hi on my 1.8T APU engine A4, I've tried to find a tool for removing the small vacuum hose clips that have like a triangular shape to them and seem to be mostly around the top of the air filter. I've done a small search on here without success. Does anyone know how to remove them without cutting...

    External Lower Door Weather Seal

    Kingfisher, sorry to resurrect but I'm still looking for decent price ones. Audi dealer prices are a joke for some plastic parts on a £800 car! I don't know why Audi don't do historical discounts like BMW and Merc have done in the past. It would make a lot more sense. I've found a guy in Latvia...

    Viscous coupling or air lock?

    OK I have now had the 'stat replaced and all is well with the world. Temp gauge climbs steadily to 90 and sits there. Bottom hose is hot. It was obviously a faulty brand new 'stat. Thanks all for your help.

    Viscous coupling or air lock?

    Hi MikeB, I checked the hot engine this morning. The bottom hose is cold....... My garage rang this morning and can't do the work until Wednesday. luckily I am away and have lost garage space otherwise i'd have a crack at it myself :(

    Viscous coupling or air lock?

    Hi, ok. I get what you're saying. My fault, but I'm not that logical at the best of times HAHA! :) I'm going to change stat and serpentine belt at the same time on Monday and see what happens then. My thought was that even with a hot engine, the coupling should work where fluid inside should get...

    Viscous coupling or air lock?

    I did a viscous fan coupling check this morning.......... COLD: paper stops the fan = good. HOT : paper stops the fan = BAD!! I've ordered another coupling and gonna get the garage to fit that with a new stat just in case it's the stat too. This morning it reached 110 again so I'm hoping it's...
