    Sold A4 B6 1.8T Saloon in outstanding condition with 51k miles

    I'll certainly miss this one when it's gone. Personally, I don't have any issues with comfort in the Recaros. They really are excellent seats.

    1.8t bex coil pack part number (urgent!)

    Hi, I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure the part number for a BEX engine is 06B 905 115R. That's not to say that the ones you have won't work, though. Have you tried swapping your number 1 coil with a different cylinder to see if the fault moves? Cheers Rick

    what are the failed coilpack part numbers , ending in j , h r??

    Hi, When I took my car in for coil replacement I was originally told (after about an hour's wait) that they didn't need replacing. Using some of the information here http://12v.org/urs/28E9CoilReplacementCampaign.pdf I complained to the dealer. After an exchange of emails they apologised...

    B6 A4 BEX 1.8T Metallic Rattle

    Hi Nic, Does it still do it when the aircon is switched off (i.e. in Econ mode)? I have a 2011 VW Polo that makes a similar noise when the aircon is on but is quiet when it's off. I haven't done anything about it yet so don't know if it's actually a fault. Just thought it may give you...

    running probs since oil change

    Well it seems I spoke too soon! Mine started misfiring again yesterday on cyls 1 & 2 + a random misfire. Called the AA out (who diagnosed the codes). He swapped the coil pack in cylinder 1 for a new one and the problem appeared to go away. Put the original back in and it had still gone away...

    running probs since oil change

    I had a similar problem after an oil & filter change on my 1.8T about 18 months ago. After driving about 15 miles it started misfiring as though one of the coilpacks or spark plugs had failed (it had just had new coilpacks fitted on the 'recall' and I'd fitted new plugs at the same time). The...

    Mine's still running fine at the moment. if and when it starts playing up again, the O2 sensor could be a good starting point - thanks. Jasdent - please let us know what happens if you change yours.

    1.8T 190 intermittent Missfire on Number 1 cylinder

    Thanks Az. Something else for us to think about and potentially investigate if and when the fault re-appears.

    1.8T 190 intermittent Missfire on Number 1 cylinder

    Mine's running fine this morning *touches wood*. I really don't know what to think. As you say, we can't be the only ones. People have been scaring me with things like sticking valves but if that was the case, wouldn't it be sticking all the time and not intermittently?
