Hello everyone... (or anyone)
I live in South Africa and love Audis/VWs. Now recently got my hands on a A6 2.5TDI Quattro 6sp Man MY1998 , which is very kinda hard to find info on as it seems. I think its from Scotland and the manual had Audi Dundee all over it.
Anyways, bought the car with a faulty CCD which btw wasn't even in the car (had to collect it from the previous owner, which also didnt have the car long). I did bit of research on the CCD box he claims to came out of the car and i doubt it belongs to this car.
If anyone has anyway of checking it against my VIN, it would be appreciated! (PM me for details please)
Secondly. I love this site with all the info and challenges you guys (and girls) do. Iam busy fiddling with the Engine as there is also a problem (not revving pass 3500rpm in gear, 4000rpm neutral) First problem i faced was LOADS of smoke during stops in traffic. People started backing up as soon as i stopped (hiding of embarrassment in my own cloud of smoke). Found this site with wonderful info, just to find out about a blocked oil mist separator I just removed the oil cap seal as a quick fix atm, still must replace it. No smoking what so ever!!! Wow what a pleasure to see cars next to me at the lights again
Another problem i faced when parked on a slope nose up, it refuses to start. Also read about it here that it is air/fuel returning to the tank and needs to be bled to start. Found leaking fuel return pipes on the injectors. Hopefully that fixes it, still to check Next is the thermostat as is seems the car is not warming up fast enough... Will update as i go along. Btw i have vag, no codes.
I know alot of this problems has been disgusted in previous posts, i do loads of reading way in the early mornings to get remedies for problems. I just want to say to everyone it is very much appreciated!
