OK, not fixed, going back into limp mode after doing some hard acceleration on a climb on the motorway. Maybe the low pressure fuel pump? The trouble with this A4 is it sat for 3 years in a barn (really, in Oxfordshire countryside after the previous owner divorced her husband), so I wonder...

So I continued to have hesitation in my wife's A4, if I accelerated hard, after about 70mph. This has now definitely been fixed by changing the fuel filter, and it is once again a bit of a demon sleeper. I'd recommend anyone experiencing a drop in power at high RPM/heavy acceleration to look...

In my car, the cam follower was worn through, which was then causing insufficient fuel to be pumped to the engine. I have had both the pump and the cam follower replaced, and the car is running better. They said that it was the worst cam follower they have seen (top of it is missing) and is...

I've experienced a loss of power, as if the turbo is not firing up, whilst away on holiday in Snowdonia. The annoying thing is its intermittent, so driving back home it was a problem for the second half of the journey, but having just popped out to the petrol station, its back to full power...

Got a replacement for the module. All fixed by T&H in Leamington. Working like new again. The old one was toast.

I am just going to the Haldex work done, makes sense to not second guess the Ross Tech output. Its just bad luck that both the ABS and Haldex have had problems at a similar time.

I've had to have this ABS kit put into my car, the 1K0698517B unit, back in November 2020, due to the pressure sensor error. With Covid lockdown, I have barely been driving, I've literally driven 300 miles in the last 4 months. The ESP light came back on as soon as the ABS had been fixed. Only...

All fixed, less painful and costly than feared, took it to APS based on advice in this forum. They got it done in 4 hours and replaced all the control arms with Lemforder stuff. Spent the day working remotely in Costa in Brackley. Great.

What would be a sensible price for getting a garage to do the replacement of control arms for Meyle HD, please? I guess its less than a day's work, but I have been given an initial quote of GBP 2k! It looks like an entire Meyle HD control arm kit for an Audi A4 B7 costs about GBP 420 at the...
