    Rubbing noise on idle - BiTdi

    I know, I’m not going to win any awards for my sound recording skills. The noise is coming from the front left side and it sounds weirdly like a potters wheel or something. It speeds up slightly and then stops altogether after 1200 rpm or so. I’ve not been able to get under the bonnet as it...

    Rubbing noise on idle - BiTdi

    Hi all, I’ve got a strange noise coming from the car when in drive at low speeds and standing still. It’s a sound like something metallic is catching/rubbing. It only happens once the car is warmed up. The noise stops when I put the car in neutral. It drives fine otherwise and all changes...

    Another 2.0TDI EGR Valve Cleaning Thread - with before and after pics.

    I did this job today on our 170 BRD. It really was simple and the parts were easily sourced from Audi, I just gave them the vehicle reg and told them I was going to clean the EGR valve, they confirmed the parts I needed which came to £13. The car seems to be driving smoother with a bit more...

    A4 Horror stories? please advise

    Check your handbook but I think the BLB engine was an early revision so you should be ok?

    170 TDI hesitation under partial throttle

    Cheers for that matey, think I will start saving for a new turbo now lol. Have read a few posts mentioning cleaning the turbo vanes - anyone know if there is a how-to and if it is recommended?

    170 TDI hesitation under partial throttle

    Well, after being fine since the pressure sensor was changed, today the A4 did the old limp mode thing again. Really thought we had it cracked but seems not, went to pull away and no boost then limp mode. After turning off and on again the limp mode went away but car was still very stilted on...

    2.0TDI consumption

    That sounds about right for the A4 mate, no idea on the A3 but the MkIV Golf GTTDI we had before was 55L

    A4 s line coolant problems

    I would just keep an eye on the level of the coolant first off to be sure. As Av4nt said - exhaust vapour can be quite visible in the cold weather, especially so if the engine is cold too.

    2.0TDI consumption

    170 Quattro B7 A4 avant, just shy of 97K on the clock and we get 400-450 miles from a full tank of v-power (always v-power). This is with a fairly spirited driving style when conditions allow on a daily mixture of everything from country B roads to motorways to city traffic.

    Screen wash level sensor

    Well I topped up the screen wash today and found a wire going to a grommet on the top of the washer bottle. Would this be for the level sensor as I can't imagine what else it is for?

    Screen wash level sensor

    No, doesn't come up mate. Just coolant, oil and brakes I think. Can it be easily enabled if the sensor is retro-fitted?

    Screen wash level sensor

    Hmmm thanks guys. I would have expected it to have one tbh but perhaps not then? The car has some form of DIS but not the full thing maybe as it only provides basic stuff. Think I will have a look behind the wheel arch and will let you know if I find anything.

    Screen wash level sensor

    Should our B7 have a sensor for the screen wash level? Ran out today with no warning.

    Help

    It was about 50 for the part plus fitting I think. If the problem persists after restarting then possibly not the same fault though. Hopefully the pipe is just split and should be a very easy fix. Our golf GTTDI had a similar problem but it was the retaining clips that hold the pipe in place -...

    170 TDI hesitation under partial throttle

    Update - still not got round to doing the egr but on a recent trip up the M1 the car went in to limp mode. Switched off and back on and all was back to normal so finished the journey. Got a scan of the ecu a few days later and found the following fault code: 00065 - boost pressure regulation...
