BTW, the Halford's bulbs do not state they are CanBus, BUT they are quite pricey compared to eBay ones, and Halford's don't need the hassle of returns etc, so they are probably CanBus compatible as standard, but they don't make a thing of it. When buying on eBay, they are cheaper, but not all...

Thanks for the input! Nice to get something locked down with a concrete answer Doesn't always happen!! Yes, LED bulbs upgrade is a nice option HOWEVER, make sure that the bulbs you buy are CanBus compatible, otherwise it will throw a warning light on the dash every time you start the car The...

I saw this video online and so thought it should be easy to test?: Skip to 1:55 in. The car seems to drive ok, although it's a new car (to us) and so nothing to compare to. The EGR valve is definitely ok. I've removed that, it was pretty clean to be fair, cleaned it up anyway, tested that...

Good news! Yes, the large bulb is daytime running, the tiny bulb in the top of the same cluster is sidelights. Xenon in the second cluster does both standard and high beam (bi xenon). Or at least that's my set up :-)

Try switching on the daytime running light on the car menu on the MIMI, and report back what happens :-)

Yes, I thought it might be. I'm goigto buy a cheap pressure tester kit from eBay (£12) and use it to see if that arm on the actuator will move whenmanual vacuum pressure s applied.

Hi guys! Hoping you can help as need a little!! Having some rough idling issues, especially noticeable when revving between 1,000 and 2,000 RPM's (stationary for testing). I've had a look at the Turbo, more specifically the actuator that sits on top, and the arm (piston) that pushes downward...

My existing seats are actually heated already, but manual adjustment witb electric lumbar. So the heated side of things should not be an issue.

Thanks guys! Well, inlet manifold also removed and cleaned, again pretty tidy already. Ran a quick check for vacuum leaks and could not find any. I ran some injectors cleaner through the fuel and took readings from the injectors when engine warm a few days later, and getting decent readings...

That's very interesting indeed! I assumed if it were injector it would start playing up straight away. If it were a weeping injector leaking diesel down into the sump overnight, that would smoke immediately though, right??

Yes, I thought maybe injector. But wouldn't it start smoking from when first started? This only starts after around 60 seconds of running perfectly. Which makes me think it's being caused by something that kicks in after around 60 seconds or so. Not sure on fuel economy as just got the car...

Hi guys! I'm having an issues with my 2.0 TDI. I've posted before, and working for a solution, so thanks for sticking by me if you read mypast post. But a very interesting development... Basically, I'm getting a rough idle and lots of smoke when COLD (100% fine when warmed up). Now, the...

Thanks for the input. Wow, 6 new injectors must have cost a pretty penny!!! :-( Yes, mine definitely has bad shuddering. I'm thinking possible vacuum leak as the next thing to test for. I tested the EGR valve using VCDS and that seems to be working fine. I'm going to remove and clean the inlet...

Thank you for that. Quick uestion, if it were the head gasket it would snoke permanently though, not just when cold? Same with the tandem pump? Or would either of these only play up when the engine is cold?

A friend pointed out that ifit were an injector, wouldn't it play up all the time, not only when the engine was cold?

Quick update on this... Today I removed the EGR valve. Yes, dirty and some carbonin there, but nothing ridiculous. All cleaned and ready to refit. I also connected up Vag Com which showed no issues on the auto scan. I did the live data and tested 013 injector quality quickly. Admittedly...

Ok, so I've changed the two 501 bulbs, which are the smaller ones at the top. No warnings on dash now, and they work. The 501 bulbs are the sidelights, and it seems also the DRL as well. The larger bulb did nothing on my tests (headlights on, auto, sidelights only). I'm thinking maybe those...

Yes, that is correct. That was covered earlier in the post actually. It IS an A4, but has the same bulb arrangement as my A6, just a REALLY good and clear image that shows the bulb layout.

Hi guys Hoping you can help me out a bit with this as done a lot of research online and found LOTS of people having the exact same/very similar issues with their 2.0 TDI engines across the Audi range. Mine is the A6 2.0 TDI 2008. However, in all the research I did nobody was providing a single...

Yes, I'm thinking what may have happened is because the smaller bulbs are blown, it is sending them no power, and the larger bulb is being used temporarily as the DRL. This would explain why when I select side lights nothing illuminates as it's swapped the function to DRL. It's going to be...
