Morning all, for a few weeks I have been hearing a noise which I'm presuming is coming from the gearbox. I can hear it through all the gears, it's a whining noise. Not loud and I can still get all the gears. However would I be right in presuming I need to get the box swapped out or looked at...

I'm still having issues with this. Main issue I have at the moment is I need the metal coolant pipe with the bleed nipple. This is now starting to leak. So I'm losing coolant. ****** car is starting to annoy me now.

Hi Mike, Thank you for the reply. Firstly apologies for missing the temp side of things, it gets to 90 relatively quickly and stays there, doesn't go above and no boiling over or anything. Stat wasn't OEM. But it was new on Saturday, if I have to replace it with OEM after I have resolved the...

Hi Mike, Thanks for the reply. The lower pipe is warm but the upper pipe is cold, this is one of the reasons why we changed the Thermostat. Cause we thought that coolant was getting round the engine, but not enough to get to the matrix. Another reason why we thought the pump may be at fault...

Afternoon guys and gals I've got an issue with the Audi's heating. Now with help of a Mechanic friend we have flushed and bled the whole system. Replaced the thermostat and it doesn't look like the pump is at fault, however it's not been completely ruled out at the moment. The strange thing...

I've got an Audi A4, been out today and checked to see what the garage did, they bled the matrix. Left a pool of water in recess below where the pipes go from the engine bay to the matrix. I had the engine running and pulled the pipe a little too far and it peed out the coolant at quite a high...

Hi, Thanks for the replies, it doesn't take long to get to 90, so that would rule the stat out. I'm not shy of getting my hands dirty, I just have to find the time to sort it out. I was pretty certain it was the heater matrix so I'm going to try and back flush it out first and if that...

I know this has been asked already, however trawling through countless threads is something I've done but doesn't really answer the questions I have. So the cars heating isn't working very well. Travelling around town it doesn't get warm let alone hot, we have spent £54 in a garage attempting...

Hey everyone. I'm Chris, I live in Chesterfield and have just bought my first Audi. Well I've bought my wife her first Audi. I'm a big VAG fan, previously owned a mk4 Golf GTI 1.8t and loved every minute of the time I had with it, Brother-In-Law now owns the car so still see it. So anyway...
