leak

So I’ve got a slow coolant leak. Maybe topping up the reservoir an inch or so every 100 miles. Only seems to leak on longer journeys. Can’t see any signs of leakage no puddles or wet patches nor any pink corroded areas. Pressure test seems to hold pressure. No sign of coolant in oil, exhaust...

Hello guys, I recently noticed that I have some wetness in the right boot compartment. There is some insulating foam placed at the bottom there, and it was wet to the touch, not soaked but enough to get me worried. All it could do so far was press some paper towels into the foam there to...

I took my car for service 2 weeks ago and I got the oil fill up light . Then I took it to the garage and they say it is leaking from the top of the engine, not from underneath. What could be the cause? I know where is intermittent misfire on cylinder 3 that comes sometimes. Oil leak on bottom...

Hey guys, I've noticed a small clear puddle that forms under my car after it has sat in the garage for 1/2+ days. I don't believe its from the A/C as it has a somewhat oily feel to it and dries almost crusty white. If this helps; I've been experiencing somewhat rough idling, noticed a slight...

I bought my 2016 S1 early this year, and very soon after noticed dried drip marks on the right headlight, on the inner surface. After a car wash, fresh droplets would run down on the inside, and even a new drip mark appeared on the "floor" of the headlight. There was what appeared to be a very...

Hello all! I've got a BFB 1.8t A4 (B7). I think I need to replace my rocker cover (oil in the coil pack area, slightly lumpy idle). Any jobs that are worth doing while I'm there? Car is a 2007, and almost everything looks to be original - so happy to refresh what I can while I'm there...

Hello, I have Audi A3 8V 2013 1.4 TFSI (122HP) for a year. When I bought it I done "small" service, oil change, all filters and service of air contidion. After 3 months / 3.000KM i got "Check oil level" warning message. I bought and put 1 liter of oil. 2 months after that i get that message...

My 2004 Avant 1.9tdi has gradually needed the coolant topped up more frequently to the point now where every few drives the coolant warning light comes on and the expansion tank is empty so I really need to address the cause. Went for a drive in the hopes to create pressure in the system, I...

Hi, I’ve got a Audi A3 sportback 58 plate. Yesterday when I opened my boot I realised there there was water behind the headrest on the rear drivers side and on the rear right headline(where I’ve taken the pictures). I have a feeling that water is leaking through the door arms(see pictures)...

Hi all, This morning I’ve noticed a fair amount of oil residue from my engine filler cap - on closer inspection I have noticed it isn’t properly closed/sealed tightly allowing a small amount of oil to leak out. I have taken the cap off and replaced several times but no matter what I can’t get...

I'm having a problem with my TT roadster, i wonder if someone else had the same issue and how did you get around it? Water leaks in through the spoiler into the registration plate lights. the leak was not noticeable until the plate lights failed - took about 3+years for this to happen! I've...

I've seen that there is an upgraded replacement for the 2.0TFSI engine but I cant find anything for the 1.8TFSI. My crank seal has failed within a week of a garage fitting a new one. Faulty part, faulty install or faulty PCV etc. I've removed the oil cap whilst the engine was running and the...

Hey guys, back again after getting rid of my last A3 (big misstake) got myself a little 1.6 tdi run about and it's been plugged in and there is a permanent air leak in the system. Is there anywhere that's common to go? Somewhere that's prone to go wrong or come loose etc etc. Any help would...

Hi I have a 2014 tdi 2.0 that intermittently empties its coolant bottle. I can see coolant around the bottle/engine mount area and on the bottom engine cover/splash shield. I removed the pipes and bottle and looked for splits but all good. I filled it back up and monitored and it stayed level...

I have a 2.0 TDI 140 and the car feels slow however its always been like this since i bought it. When I floor the car it it takes awhile for it to climb the revs then after 2600-2800 revs its like its got nothing left to give so I have to change gear. Also while its climbing revs I can hear...

As I’ve just got my girl to pass her MOT (just) it’s time to start on all the little niggles. When she’s warmed up the revs rise while the clutch is released. I’ll pull up to some lights, take it out of gear and come off the clutch the revs rise, or if I’m going along and come off the...

Noticed my coolant level dropped a bit so I decided to investigate and found this part is the problem, I assume its a sensor but that's a guess. If anyone has any information on how to fix this or if I should replace the part that would be fantastic. I have attempted to push it back in with no...

Hi, I have my car at Audi as there was a recall to update ESC control unit, they will be replacing the control module as it crashed during the update. They done a health check and said that there's likely a leak as there is engine oil around the sump and on the gearbox. Where the engine...

I've replaced my master cylinder with one from a breaker yard because the pedal was slowly falling when applying brakes. On to the replacement... Fitted okay, bench bled, seemed okay. Bleeding Calipers front left and back right had pressure on each press. Front right and back left seemed to...
