I know what you mean, it is satisfying to do it yourself and worth it afterwards, even with the swearing. Mine is at 251k miles now so little victories mean a lot as it doesn't make much sense throwing too much money at it, garage labour costs being the worst. The Bosch sensor was £30 (numbers...

Actually I think you can just prise the shroud off that screw No2 once the bolt No1 is removed. Just be careful not to snap the plastic.

I can't remember struggling with the plastic wire shroud fittings, I think I used a torx bit and socket/ratchet handle on it. I also can't remember if lowering/raising the hub with a jack gives more room for that screw? A helper is advisable for feeding in the new sensor wiring (one person from...

This is the cheapy basic scanner I have and it definitely turns the warning light out when you delete the codes : https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VAG-Car-Fault-Code-Reader-Engine-Diagnostic-Scanner-Reset-Tool-OBD2-CAN/293817876095?hash=item4468e8fe7f:g:eMcAAOSwIotfSWI9&redirect=mobile

Well the light went out after two short journeys once the egr pipe was reconnected. I do have a cheap <£20 scanner to turn the light off if needed but it seems to sort itself out where this code is concerned.

I'm pretty sure it will go out on its own when egr tube reconnected. The light occasionally goes out on its own even with egr disabled. I'll try it tomorrow and let you know.

I've been running with the egr disabled for ages now thanks to good advice on here and have had no ill effects - it does reduce the oily mess a lot, and nice to know the engine is not breathing in its own farts and clogging up turbo vanes etc. Just need to put up with the dash light. I know you...

My "not particularly cherished" in the past 2004 TDI 100 AVB engine just hit 250,000 miles today! Proud of the old girl. I've not actually had it long but I know the previous 2 owners. I know there are many out there with 300k but I'm very pleased with this for now! I've spent a fair bit of time...

10 years+ later and this thread helped me too! Photos great, thanks Markyzs180 and co. Just moved the green linkage manually to allow windscreen demisting all winter - not up for spending any more on 250,000 mile the old beast now, unless strictly necessary!

Interesting, I've just put an undertray back on mine which thankfully hasn't been missing long - if nothing else to protect the parts in the engine bay, but it will keep the dirt, worst of the heavy rain, salt in winter etc off the underside! Are you reinstating the trays now to keep it in good...

Too BMW-esque? Haha

Nice car! Wheels don't look quite right in my opinion but what do I know. Maybe I'm used to seeing the standard more boring alloys.

Great news! Maybe the bottle level sensor is caked up and temperamental? See how it goes eh!

I would change the suspect sensor (relatively low cost if it doesn't solve the issue). It's a pain but as you don't need the car you can do it a bit at a time to spread it out and involve less swear words. Manic put a nice guide up here...

I just did a rear sensor on mine, a pain to do but do-able even if you can't get your brake disk off. I got a decent Bosch one for £37 and my dash lights went out. That was my only symptom though! And my cheap scanner came up with the code and told me which one was duff. So yours isn't giving a...

Spot-on, Manics! Could've done with this guide recently. It is a pig of a job, just done it but without removing caliper/disc/backing plate on mine. As above, I destroyed the knackered bolt head to shear it off (I cut a slot in and chiselled it off, was attempting to get it to screw out at that...

This other thread might shed light? https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/audi-a4-avant-front-subframe-compatibility.379231/

In case it helps anyone, I solved this by chance. The passenger seat base was raised up to the highest setting by the previous owner and when a passenger of mine lowered it right down for the first time to be more comfortable the airbag dash light has gone out and has never came back on! It...
