    Warning Chime speaker inside speedo binnacle...Replacement update

    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...

    2005 A4 3.0TDi Avant quattro Rear Wiper fault.

    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...

    How bizarre.....centre brakelight intermittent problem

    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...

    Battery question

    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...

    A4 B7 3.0tdi misterious warm startup problem

    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...

    Tyre Pressures

    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 set them all to that pressure and...
