2005 A4 B7 3.0 TDi quattro
once the car is hot, under certain conditions, a light application of the brakes causes a pronounced groaning noise from the servo area (centre dash, engine compartment). Further harder deppesion of the pedal and the noise goes. Is there a check/non return...
Hi Joinerman
I have a 3.0tdi too and have gone through a similar process as you.
My observations are........In my case....
When started from cold no noises.
When hot if turned off and started within 5-10 minutes no noise
When hot if turned off and left for over 20 mins, noise was there.
Park up...
My chime stopped working a couple of weeks ago!
Whilst annoying when working, not to hear it is even more so. Especially when the pads are low or the washers are running out or you left the lights on.
There is a good proceedure post on her which was very helpful. Thankyou...
I have owned a quattro 3.0TDI tiptronic 2006 from 60000 to now 95000 2.5 years
I have serviced it twice
Replaced rear pads
Replaced rear wiper motor
Replaced top timing right chain tensioner
Replaced front pads
Replaced 1 set of tyres
Replaced the "chime" speaker in speedo binnacle (yesterday)...
3.0TDi quattro avant
The warning chime for all of the above has ceased to chime! Whilst it is now peacefull, I miss its monotony :D
Firstly, where is the "chime" and secondly, is it possible to test/replace/repair it?
Thanks chaps ;)
Rear wiper has been working fine, then I noticed it stopped a couple of times mid-wipe. Then sometimes it wouldn't work and then it did. Now it doesn't work. Washer works fine. It works when reversing which I understand is powered seperately, so I assume motor is okay and the wiring is at fault...
Most likely where the cables transfer from the boot lid to the car via tubes that go in and out the wires wear and crack from flexing. Problem will be worse in the summer when it's very dry and better in the winter with moisture making the connection better. If all the L E D 's don't work it's a...
Any amperage of 90 or above will be fine. What is more important is the CCA (cold cranking amps) which is the power delivered at cold start. I have recently fitted a Duracell battery and it has been perfectly okay and cost me £58 inc Trade from TPS. Cheaper batteries with names you've never...
I fitted a new battery to my 3.0TDi quattro avant recently and it was a ....................................................................Duracell believe it not:laugh:
If you leave the issue to its own devices, evetually it will fail all together and then you'll be able to find it easy but...
A while back I posted a thread asking about H1D lamps flickering. It was suggested that I replace the bulbs I purchased 2 new bulbs at a very reasonable price from T8ups on the site here. Thanks very much:)
**Be careful if you attempt to replace these bulbs that you dissconnect the battery...
Desert storm is on the right track. It is definately is NOT THE TIMING CHAINS! (See thread "3.0 TDi death rattle on start up")
The fact that the issue has changed since you replaced the battery is a clue as you have obviously disturbed part of the problem creating the change.
I would suggest...
Please can anyone pinpoint where the main 4 pin engine relay is on a 2006 T3 1.9TDi?
They are not under passenger seat where they can be or under the battery. I have had lower dash off and can't see them.
Any ideas?
Cheers

2t I assume means 2 ltr petrol?
Makes sure the oil level is correct.Take out the air filter and check the intake system isn't blocked. Then rev up without the air filter in and filter box open.If all this is clear then check the waste-gate is opening on the turbo, otherwise the turbo may be...
To quote jjmurphy21187
"I've run a range of pressures from 44 to 36, at the moment I'm running 38 but each time the car is parked the tyre look slightly flat? I'm going to go up to 40-42 next time I fill up where there is free air..."
I bet they're only flat at the bottom :wtf:
I very unluckily split the side-wall of my O/S/F tyre on Monday (235 x 40 18 - A4 Avant 3.0TDi Tip quattro)
I spent a while checking various sites and established a pressure of 2.5 bar (36.25 psi) was recommended for the make and size with the load use I have.
I set them all to that pressure and...
Thanks Dodsie
Top man
Just to clarify. You remove and then leave out the amber indicator lens but then do you fit a clear one or just put orange bulbs in?
The rear housing which is currently grey, after removal of all the chrome bits etc, you paint that black? is that matt or satin? and...
