Well...it is half-term down 'ere in Cornwall so the roads are full of folk that would be dangerous on a 6 lane super highway. Needless to say, in passing one of these clowns on a road that two combine harvesters could normally pass, some twonk in a jap super mini decided that to avoid touching...

Gerty is back from the paint-shop! (coz her reg is A6 GTY) and looks fantastic - Thanks to PAINTWORX near Liskeard!! Only problem is that the boot lock doesn't work from the remote. I stripped everything off inside and found that the strange looking solenoid thingy with the odd clip (the white...

Has just decided to jam open on my 99 a6 tdi. I dont want to force it in but can't work out how I get to the guts of it.....Any ideas? I have managed to get the facia off but this does not reveal much. Any help greatly appreciated.

I have replaced every suspension component including the shox on the front of my 99tdi apart from the lower track control arms and the anti roll bar rubbers. I have checked and double checked for any play and yet can't find the reason why the car hops on the front over rough ground. It also...

Along with all the "central locking/comfort windows with a mind of their own" problems I notice that the boot light has stopped working. I have tested the bulb and it is ok so I was wondering how the light is operated.......I think it may be connected to the other issue. Once again your...

Hello Chaps.....Its been a while (Shows how reliable the old girl has been!) but recently while driving along, the central locking has been trying to operate itself. I don't think it is a problem when it is in the locked position. I noticed a few weeks ago that the boot light doesn't always...

Hello Chaps.....Long time no post! My A6 1.9tdi (110 but "Van Aarken chipped") has developed a fault that I presume is the temperature sender; It rises to 90 as it always did but then for no apparent reason it drops off to zero. I have checked oil - no sludge, connections seem tight, no obvious...

I won it on ebay thinking mine had gone.....It hadn't. The one I am selling was in a 1.9tdi that was back-ended shortly after fitting. It looks perfect. Should I just stick it back on ebay under Audi?

Hello chaps. Was going to ask why my drivers window goes down but not up but I have sorted that one thanks to this forum (I replace clips etc though it wil have to bearaldite/cable ties fo now). My other problem is that the As has developed aclonk that appears to be coming from the top of the...

hello all just picked up an A4 77 auto estate and it sounds like both front whel bearings are hanging out. It also could do with a cam belt change. Can anyone tell me 1. The name of a trustable specialist as near to Liskeard as possible 2. where I can buy the bearings from and roughly how...

I need help here chaps. My A6 has a Concert unit that is only controllable (volume-wise) when it has warmed up. Otherwise moving the centre knob produces nothing or deafening. Any ideas? It sometimes goes to loud even when it HAS warmed up.

Hello All Ages since I posted coz we have moved to Cornwall. Just bought the above and wondered how easy it is to DIY? Alternatively can anyone reccomend someone around Liskeard area. We are now Liskeard Classic Cars BTW. Anyone fancy an MGB?

Hello All Having had both the battery and the alternator replaced under warranty my A4 (2002)1.8T Auto continues to flatten the battery every 36-48 hours. Last night the RAC were called out as I really needed the car and the patrolman found it was "leaking" at least .5 of an amp but should be...

Hello All Have a look at this if you own a car over 2/3 years old. Looks too good to be true but came highly reccommended via the Daily Express motoring page. www.motoreasy.com

Hello Everybody I decided that after the free trial I couldn't live without it. After the first hour or two, once the thing had a chance to fully "adapt", I am totally delighted. Everything is better including, believe it or not, the fuel economy.....which I really don't understand. I had it...

Hello Everybody I have now got used to the power (or rather the lack of it!) of the A4 and have started to drive a little more enthusiastically (like a c*nt) However this has shown up a wierd "slackness" on pull away that, if it were an old Mini, I would have said was the top engine stabiliser...

Hello Everyone Like all newbies I am going to be a pain in the ar*e for a couple of weks but does anyone know if there are any mechanical differences between the 2 engines or is it all ECU and cam variations? My last car was an Alfa 156 2.0litre selespeed and the audi feels gutless by comparison...

Hello Everyone Just bought another A4 after 3 years away. Its a 2002 1.8T Multitronic and 10 minutes after picking it up some woman that couldn't control her 4x4 school run bus put a crack in the door mirror. I have purchased and sprayed a new one but believe it or not I can't get the old one...
