Hi all, Does anyone know if it's worth keeping hold of the remote fobs to sell on to someone. My 1999 1.8T is getting handed in as part of the scrappage scheme soon and i'm trying to think of parts that it could be of some use to people. I've got all the original keys, 2 remote fobs, 1...

I'm gutted to say that my old B5 that i've had for 8 years is going to be handed in as part of the scrappage scheme. The other is just too good to miss, especially as the car is loosing water internally somewhere. :-( Does anyone have any ideas on what parts i can remove from the car with...

Evening all, I wrote a post a couple of weeks ago regarding a coolant leak on my 1.8T. I've now noticed that the temp gauge which has always sat at 90 when warm, now sits between 80 and 90. The car is also very spluttery in the morning when cold and is as normal when warmed up. Coudl...

Evening all, I've had a water leak on my A4 which i suspected was the water pump. I booked it into Northampton Audi who preassure tested the system and stripped the front to check the water pump. Although the diagnosis wasn't good and the car is probably beyond economical repair, i just...

Evening all, My A4 has developed a water leak. It's using about an expansion bottle of water every 200 miles. I've had a good look around the pipes and radiator and cannot see a leak. There's also no water in the oil that i can see. I've got a horrible feeling it could be the water pump...

Evening all, I've got an A4 sport that has a problem with the computer display in the dashboard. It's had the faded problem when warm for years and i've just lived with it. I did get a quote to replace it but £600 was a little steep and i didn't think it was worth it. I also considered the...

Afternoon all, I'm hoping you can help me. I've noticed my A4 has started to make a knocking noise when turning right only. I notice it more when making wide right turns such as going round a roundabout. I'm sure i've had the c-links and/or the control arms replaced in the past. (3 yrs...

Evening all, I suspect that my power steering fluid is leaking, don't think it's the engine oil because it's too light and the only fluid that has dropped is the power steering. The fluid seems to be dripping from the middle rear of the engine. After reading some previous posts, it...

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, I stupidly left the interior light on in my car (1999 A4 1.8 T Sport) and i haven't used it for about 5 weeks. You can guess the rest...... I've charged the battery but the alarm is constantly going off. I suspect it's the backup battery/siren because i've been getting the 4...

Hi all, My alarm (99 1.8 t sport) has been acting very strange for some time now. At first the indicators stopped flashing when arming the alarm, now the alarm goes off whenever it feels like it. The only way i can stop this happening seems to be starting the car and resetting the alarm. I've...

Evening all, Just got home and noticed a strong smell of petrol coming from the top of the engine. I've removed the engine cover and had a good look around but cannot find anything. I haven't noticed any drop in fuel consumption. Any ideas guys.? Anyone else had this. I suspect this is the...

Morning all, Does anyone know where the engine number is located.? My 99 A4 T sport has had a replacement engine and i want to check if it's the engine that has the waterpump running off the cambelt. Many thanks

Evening all, I've got a 1999 A4 1.8 T sport that has a little niggle with the alarm/central locking. When i lock the car it locks as normal and the leds on the front doors set themselves as normal but the indicators don't flash when the alarm sets. The indicators work when disarming the alarm...
