Does anyone have the part number for the coolant sensor on the 1.8NA engine? I went to the Audi dealer here in Portugal and he was a little confused about what I was asking for. I would like to have the part # so I am sure they are giving me the correct part.

Yesterday morning when I went to start the car the battery was flat. So flat that the starter didn't even turn over once. The evening before everything was fine, the battery was strong and showed no signs of weakness. Any ideas why the battery would suddenly be flat overnight? I am guessing...

I don't think it's the immobiliser as the car always starts second time round (I don't need to remove the key) as long as I give it some gas on the pedal. To me it seems like an electrical problem or maybe fuel. It might be floding as there is a strong smell of fuel after it starts. I'll...

My car has started having problems starting. The engine just turns over but it doesn't fire. I have to release the key and turn it again and give it a little gas on the pedal for it to start afterwhich I get a strong fuel smell. I guess it's unburnt fuel in the exhaust. Can't be good for the...

OK. I'll ignore it. Got another 8K to before a service then.

How accurate is the service indicator and what makes it 'guesstimate' how many miles to the next service. Last week mine was showing 1300 miles till next service. I travelled 200 miles and suddenly it's showing 500 miles to next service. The 200 miles I did were mostly motorway miles at 80mph...

Hi can anyone give me a part number for the coolant sensor on a 1.8 NA engine. I just t be sure I am armed with it when I go to the dealer here in Portugal. 2000 model A4. Also, if anyone can paste a quick How-To for changing it the sensor that would be great. I assume it is fairly easy, but...

JonC, where did you get your Osrams from and what did you pay? I live in Portugal and have not been able to find them here. I've also searched the net and found prices vary wildly. So far the best I have found is £27.90 for a pair. Is this about right? I am also a little confused and want to...

Great JonC. I'll try a pair of the Osrams and see how they are. I'll also carry out a headlight alignment on the weekend if I get time. I wasn't aware that the high beams could be adjusted independantly of the low beam. when I looked under the bonnet I only saw two adjustment screws - for...

Since getting my 2000 A4 in December I have been dissappointed with the performance of the headlights. After reading the forum it seems that the general perception is that the A4 H7 lights suck. I am thinkng of installing Xenons but am wondering if it will make that much difference. Are the...

I just had two new front tires put on and had the alignment checked. They set the toe but didn't do any camber adjustment. When I questioned them about the camber I was told that it is not adjustable on the A4. Is this true?

Thanks. I'll get one next week and see if it fixes my problem.

Just had the car for 2 months, it's a 2000 A4 1.8 SE. A couple of weeks ago the orange break warning indicator (O) started coming on every now and again after I start the car. It happens about once every 10-13 starts. If I turn the engine off and restart it then the warning goes out. I've...

OK. My fronts still have about 60% left in them and the rears have about 90%. It seems a waste to get rid of them with this much life left in them. I'll have a shop around anyway. Maybe I'll replace the tires and keep them to put back on the car when I come to sell it.

I guess it's a case of getting used to it then. I am not trying to do any rapid pull offs. The problem is worst when turning into a junction. Even my wife spun the wheels last time we were together in the car. Yes AndyMac the tires are Dunlops (SP2000 if I remember correctly). Will definitely...

Hi, I recently bought a 2000 A4 1.8 SE and experience bad traction at the front wheels when pulling away from a light or even worse turning into a junction. Anything more than half throttle will start to induce wheel spin. My tires are good and its dry before anyone asks. Up until this car I...

Thanks Snail. Have you any experience of which bulbs may be better? Anyone else here tried different bulbs with success?

Minor things really... 1. I don't have Xenons and find that the standard headlights seem very dim compared to the lights I had on my 2.8 80Q which had great lights. I was expecting the lighting to be even better. I have checked and the dipped beems do come on but they just don't seem to light...

OK. I called another dealer and got the same thing. First said 80000 miles then when I questioned this saying there ahve been conflicting opinions on this he went and checked and came back saying 120000 moles. Called Audi CS and they said 120000. I checked in the service log book and it...

I am about to make an offer on an A4 2000 X reg with 76000 miles - just had second AVS service but no belt replaced yet. I am confused about when the cambelt should be changed. I thought it should be every 60000-80000 miles. However when I called Audi to ask why the belt wasn't replaced they...
