• Audi A3 - Water pump impeller (?) blades broke off..... 7 Dec 2012 (Forum)
  For the past 12 months or so the heating system in my daughter's Audi (2002) has not been working, basically only cold air blowing out. She recently decided to have this fixed. On removing the thermostat, it was found that it needed replacing, a new one was put in, however the car then began to overheat.
• Audi A4 B7 (2005 - 2008) - 05 2.0 chain drive to oil pump -snapped day after 1 Sep 2011 (Forum)
  Would appreciate any views on this please. Had my 64,000 mile 2.0 tdi Audi serviced and the morning after the service my wife was driving to work and heard a loud bang and car lost power. She limped the 1 mile to the garage and after investigating they have advised that the chain drive to the oil pump has snapped and so they will need to replace.
• Audi A6 1.9 TDi - EGR valve replacement... 29 Jul 2011 (Forum)
  Is there something else that needs to come off to gain access or am I lacking some specialist tool or quite frankly the know how? I have looked up clips on YouTube but most relate to American cars and looks nothing like an Audi's. Many thanks in advance.

• Audi A4 B6 (2001 - 2005) - 03 2.5tdiPetrol in diesel - not started 25 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  Hello all, today my wife filled her 2003 Audi 2.5tdi to the brim in Petrol (62lts worth). she only noticed when she came to put the nozzle back on the pump and found Mr Diesel was still home !. Luckily she did NOT start the car....... however inorder to push the car out of way the ignition had to be put on to free up the steering wheel and put the car in N (it is an automatic) I HOPE and pray that a full tanke drain should do the trick.. because the car had not actually run out of fuel am I right in assuming that techincally no Petrol should have made it to the Injector pump?..
• Audi A4 (1995 - 2000) - 1997 1.8 Fuel Management Problem. I Think! 7 Mar 2009 (Forum)
  I have a 1.8 Audi A4 5v and It has about 143000 miles on it. It won't idle properly. The revs fluctuate and they drop to around 500 rpm and bounce back up to about 1500 rpm. It eventually got worse and the car wouldn't idle at all and while revving the engine at mid range and holding it, it would cut out and then go back up again.
• Audi A4 B6 (2001 - 2005) - 2001 2.0 Central locking and alarm problems 3 Nov 2008 (Forum)

• Audi A3 + S3 (1996 - 2001) - 01 1.9TDI Power loss - Again! 4 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  Audi A3 (2001) 79K 110bhp TDI - Having had a power loss problem about 12 months ago, it was finally solved by replacing the air mass meter. This morning, and with no sign right up to the night before, the car has begun doing the same thing again.
• Audi A3 + S3 (1996 - 2001) - 1999 1.8 - Fuel Additives - Sluggish Acceleration 31 Dec 2007 (Forum)
  The experience is similar to driving an automatic uphill when you try to accelerate and feel the gear shift down before there is acceleration except my car is a manual! The car is an Audi A3 1.8 petrol manual built 1999. Air mass meter was replaced about 18 months ago so I am sure it isn't that (thankfully!). My hope is that maybe there is some crud in the fuel tank which can be blasted out with some fuel cleaner/additive and premium unleaded on a fast stretch of motorway.

  Hi, I have a 1998 audi A4 2.4 V6 117000k which I must say I love but recently it has developed this annoying intermittent fault. Sometimes when starting the car wether it be warm or cold it fires up but stalls straight away.
• Audi TT & Michelin Pilot/Primacy tyres 8 Nov 2006 (Forum)
  Just thought it would be worth making people aware of Audi TT sensitivity to different tyres on the front. In a nutshell 2005, TT 190 fitted originally with Michelin Pilots all round. After about 13,000 miles ( but only nomimal wear), suffered a punture in front offside.

• Audi A6 1.9TDI(115) MAF sensor 4 Apr 2006 (Forum)
  I am obviously no engineering genius but does this require a special tool to deal with?, is it a conspiracy to make me pay extortionate labour charges? ie: is it an audi specific tool? Hopefully I have described the problem and someone can point me to the right shelf in halfords. many thanks and sorry for being a complete numpty.

  I've just bought (2 months ago) a 53 plate Audi A3 2.0 FSI. It's been back to the dealer three times now under warranty to investigate a steering clunk. It happens at low speeds on full left lock - typically during parking. It's quite loud and I can feel it in the steering.

  Hi there, I've just purchased an Audi A4 1.6 on an N, and I can't fill the tank past the 3/4 level with a standard unleaded fuel nozzle from any petrol station. A mate with a BMW 330i said it happens to his, but all he does is wait for a minute and then he can fill it to the brim.
• Driving with defective indicators 17 Oct 2003 (Forum)
  My wife has an Audi S3 which she needs for work every day. On Friday she noticed the indicators were only working intermittently, then latterly not at all. Saturday morning I phone the Audi service department (it's still under warranty), take it in and they announce it needs a new switch which of course isn't in stock.
• Audi A4 wipers - continental fit tip 25 Sep 2003 (Forum)
  Yesterday I bought a set of new front wipers for my 1996 A4 from Euro Car Parts for about £19. They are the genuine Audi part (8D1 998 003) with notes on the box in several European languages. When I tried to fit them I found that they would only latch into place on the wiper arm if turned upside down on the screen.
