    Fan Control Relay - Help please

    Thanks for that, i will go back and double check the fans low and high speed work when linking across the fan switch plug to rule out the resistors in the motors. It does seem like the "K" version of the fan controller is correct but would be good if someone could confirm. If there is no...

    Fan Control Relay - Help please

    Hi Guys, I don't know what my original part number was for the Fan Control Relay under the battery as I stupidly threw it out when i replaced it with what I believe is the incorrect part. I have an early 1999 S3 8l with APY engine. Websites all say different things and I've tried a few. Audi...

    My new Lemon S3! Gurgling coolant system….

    I've chased a similar problem in the past and have found anything but genuine audi thermostats to cause issues. Using the hidden display in the climate control is really helpful for diagnosing. (Press bottom right and top right buttons together, then use temp control to go up to channel 49, then...

    Unusual rear tyre wear

    I've recently noticed my rear tyres have worn much quicker than the front and wondering what to look for. Normally I replace all four tyres together but the rear tyres still have more tread remaining than the front. This time the rears are down to the limit after 16k but the fronts still have 4...

    Alternator pulley - dodgy new part?

    Hi all, Just got a new alternator pulley I'm about to fit. When I rotate the pulley (whilst holding the centre) it seems quite hard to turn by hand, but it does turn. It locks as normal when I rotate the other way. Is this resistance normal as I was expecting it to freewheel much better...

    Alternator pulley replacement help

    Tufty, thanks. What is the tool that goes through the centre of the multi point adapter? Is it a second part of the 'special tool' or just an allen/torq do you know. Isn't very clear....

    F1 autocentre just put my s3 through a 2wd brake tester

    Guys, thoughts and advice please. F1 autocentre just MOT'd my car and started the 2 wheel drive powered brake tester rollers on the back end of the car. I was watching because I don't have much faith in garages and ran out to stop him, back wheels were rotating for about 30 seconds with the...

    Clutch change advice....leaking fluid.

    Oh yes they look dodgy, thanks. Purchased from ECP for £366 with a £65 saving, thanks again. If you split the transfer box from the gearbox do you need to drain the oil first...the guide skips this bit...

    A4 2.0 TDI B8 - wont start when hot (??!)

    I'd put money on your egr valve sticking or failed. I would take it off and clean it. I think you can test using VCDS.

    haldex question

    I always fill through the level check plug hole on the front of the unit. Just enough space to lie the tube of new oil alongside the exhaust. Works a treat and you can take your time and do it on your own.

    mpg question??

    You have an MPG issue and an intermittent steering issue - I would jack up the front wheels and check they both spin freely. You could easily have a sticking front brake caliper....

    B8.5 143 TDI Engine Temperature

    As thermostats get old they can fail by not fully closing, which allows water through the radiator before the car is up to temperature. What is the age and mileage of the car? Also if the car has ever overheated for some reason (such as a waterpump failure) it can ruin the spring in the...
