Thanks for response guys.
Turns out that the gearbox cooler has a leak and is leaking some oil into the coolant as well.
Anyone had issues with this.
They said they will replace the cooler and do an engine flush as well
So I’ve developed a issue on my S3 where after coolant bubbling out the expansion tank I took it back to garage who did a recent water pump change.
They said after a pressure test no leaks found but a lot of pressure was building up causing it to overflow from the expansion tank and said it’s...
Update: I put my old fuel pressure regulator switch in see picture below (old one and new second hand one I bought) and car started straight away but still have the judder on idle.
The part numbers are same at top but just the bottom numbers are different.
Am I right that the new fuel pressure...
As the title says - steps I’ve done in mean time:
- changed pressure sensor (on hpfp) as fault code suspected this (common rail already changed previously and car started after this)
- changed fuel filter
This is where I have an issue now.
Steps done so far:
- primed fuel filter via Carista...
I need help please to problem solve this issue I’m having.
Firstly after rough idling to the point engine is juddering frantically on idle - after a scan, it shows fuel regulation
A mechanic did a injector re collaboration and that solved it for a month and it’s back.
I’ve changed the common...
Need some advice as yesterday I got a flashing glow plug light, eml light and limp mode.
A scan shows the following:
I’ve changed the low pressure fuel pump and fuel relay last week as it broke down on motorway and AA advised it was this. Drove fine for few days and now this.
Any help or...
Thank you for your reply.
You was right, I took the bulb out and it was like this (notice the cloudy yellow part at the top)
Fitted some new Osram night breakers and switched on fine thank God. I’ll test them properly in the dark
So my bulb warning light came on for main dipped beam right.
I ordered a ballast from Amazon (realised not original) and it worked and the bulb came on. However it was a very pink colour compared to other side.
I managed to source an original ballast and swapped it over and now the bulb...
Well took it for a drive today and couldn’t hear a single creak when turning or the normal creaks it started to do all of a sudden.
There is a small creak when going over a speed bump very slowly but that’s been there for a while.
Wonder if the silicone spray kwik fit did and what I did...
I decided to spray some silicone spray on the steering column behind the brake pedal turning the steering while doing this.
Not sure if I’m being too optimistic and without going for a test drive tomorrow but the creek when turning the steering right to left especially the left has gone or very...
So this weekend, my rs4 b8 started to develop a right creak when turning the steering more notcieable mainly towards the left at slow speeds; braking slowly I.e going over a speed bump.
At faster speeds, it’s not as noticeable but is there but during slow speeds, it’s like opening a rusty door...
I’m going to try another actuator to rule out a fault with the previous one.
Even though the window switches and door switch works from inside, could it still be wiring. I’ll have a look as well anyways?
Update: okay so I’ve managed to get key to lock doors remotely but the one I bought (used) isn’t working either. Is it my luck that this doesn’t work either or am I missing something totally?
So I’ve had an issue with the driver door not locking with remote key fob.
I’ve purchased a new door lock actuator and just in process of switching them over.
I’m a little confused because when I plug the new one in or even just plug in the old one, the key won’t lock the car. However when it...
Hi all, so my rear tail gate boot struts seem to be failing - when I open the boot (automatic) after a few seconds, it starts to slowly just close on itself on its own. Some days it’s okay but now recently doing it all the time.
so the question is how do I replace the struts with it being...
So this is a first…
when starting the car this morning and driving off, I had this message appear do not exceed 6000rpm. I was driving fine not reving as I always let the car warm up etc.

a scan read A camshaft position slow response bank 1.
I reset the codes and went for a...
