2,8 quattro For sale but can't find the advert section? any one interested

Thanks mate, But my battery is still going flat. So it is not the control unit. I have noticed that the audi navigation unit in boot pocket by cd changer always has the red light on maybe it is this thats draining the battery?? Might pull out the fuse to see if this helps. I am out of ideas as...

Had to unplug my central locking/siren/vacume pump unit in the boot as it was faulty draining the battery & siren not working etc. But now my windows, inside light dont work now. Could i reconnect it and just unplug a fuse to stop the central locking working?. Does any one know where to get and...

Thanks aragorn, do you recommend the weld in ones or the clamp ones? Clamp ones will be easy to fit but are the weld ones better, (they will have to be the correct length but there can be some play with the clamp ones) is that right

Thanks guys, I went to my local exhaust place the guy said he would be happy to give it a go only if I get the two flexi joints with the end bits/sleeves. Can anyone tell me where to get them I am struggling to find them on the internet

Thanks Jonny, anyone know if this can be done in situ ? there is about 25mm clearence at the tightest spot.

Got a 2,8 V6 Q it has full miltech system, but the blowing is from the flexi joints from the down pipes to the CAT. Can you get just these flexi joints replaced? The rest of the down pipe/cat section is fine, no problems. Just the flexi join on one side, but the other side looks like it is about...

Hi guys, my car sometimes has a flat battery. The battery is new, the alternator is charging at 14 + volts. So i have something draining the battery. Any ideas? Do not think it is boot light as it goes off after a while when open anyway. Could it be alarm/central locking related? Could it be...

I changed my battery three months ago got a new Excide one from car parts for less (more amp hours than standard unit) been fine until two days ago when it went flat. When my cars is at idle or above the amp/volt meter is showing above 14 volts so alternator must be fine. Took out the battery &...

Thanks guys for the info, where is the best place to get replacments for the pump unit and siren?

If i change the central locking unit/pump , the whole unit (black box with grey cover-with pump inside) will every thing else work fine, inside lights, alarm code, windows etc? Does it have to be from a 2,8Q. Will i have to get it recoded. Also my alarm siren is not working, i hear the battery...

ok so here we go again, took out the pump, the bottom of the foam housing it sits in is wet/damp. but took pump out and it is dry inside. When taking pump out with vacuum hoses off i turned the key in boot lid the pump started to spin i had to open the boot lid and put my hands over the inlet...

Thanks guys, OK so if the pump is the problem can it be fixed or is it a replacement? I guess you do not try second hand ones as they could be about to go pop. What sort of wallet damage is a replacement? Also about two years ago when my alarm went off the lights would flash but the siren had...

OK will check fuses, thanks. (which ones) But why is interior lights only working when you switch them on with the over head buttons. Also no lights flash when you press remote buttons. (would they not still flash if pump had failed?) Also is it worth me disconnecting the car battery for a few...
