    Occasional high rever when starting from warm

    My A4 TDi has started to rev at about 3000 rpm for a second or so after restarting from warm. It doesn't do it all the time probably once a week. There are no other symptoms. The car has done 152,000 miles since new 2002 so I'm thinking maybe leaking injector(s). Any idea what else may...

    roller parcel shelf thingy!

    Happens to me a lot. Bit peed off as the amount of times it has happened the locating pegs have marked the carpet and plastic now. What I have found is that the end part of the shelf is quite heavy and out of balance, it seems to tip down near the rear door. When you hit a bump it tilts that...

    Ideas on suspension replacement

    Due to a possible house purchase I've decided that I may have to keep my current A4 Avant 1.9TDi for a couple of years more. The car has done a hassle free 150K since I bought it new in 2003 and is tidy enough for me to hang on to. The problem is that the suspension has gone very wallowy...

    Need a new clutch, advise on doing it myself

    The clutch on my 2002 A4 109TDi Avant feels like it is on its way out. Pedal operates quite high and I'm sure I can here the engine revs raising quicker than normal during hard acceleration. I'm planning to do this myself and with the lack of a Haynes manual for this year/model I'm looking...

    particulate filter on 02 A4 TDi

    I have an 02 Audi A4 100 TDi and been doing all my own servicing. It's just dawned on me that I've done nothing with the particulate filter on this car and at 140K maybe it needs doing. But, does it have a prticulate filter? If so, how do I service it....is it a fluid top up? thanks

I'm going to do the job myself so looking for any advice on the job such as the need for specialist tools etc. I use the car constantly so can't afford to have it sitting in my workshop due...

    Warm air from Air Con

    Got it booked in with a aircon specialist. He's going to vacuum the system @ £35 and then if there are no leaks regas it with a total cost of £75. I'm doing 45k per year in the car with the aircon always on so I'm hoping this just needs a regas. Thanks

    Electric windows/mirrors stop working

    I've posted regarding this question before but can't find the original message so apologies for opening a new thread. I have a 2002 A4 Avant TDi which originally has had its electric windows and wing mirrors fail. I have been reading up on the Internet and have discovered that the control box...

    TDi more responsive after battery disconnect and reconnect

    While trying to sort out a electric window/mirrors and interior light problem I decided to see if reseting the ECUs on the car by disconnecting the battery would help solve the problem. After reconnecting and driving the car I found it quite a lot more responsive. Any reason for this? Thanks
