    Could this be a fueling issue?
  5. Steve Q
    You're welcome. It should be there as my A6 is of a similar age and design. Definitely not!

    Hello Marc, As Cliff says. That indeed was my motive for asking what brand the new thermostat was. In quite recent times I regret to say the reliability of new-out-of-box components has become very, very questionable, and not helped by the increasing use of the term OE which might encourage buyer confidence. Again, the use of once trusted brand names - now owned by licensing companies - adds kudos to products no longer manufactured to anything like the quality of the original brand. Dad/granddad then says ‘that’s a quality brand’ and it aids sales. So don’t take for granted that once respected brand name components will be serviceable, simply because they are new. Thermostats are a key component, and are sometimes difficult to access, so for me, it’s the exception to the rule, and I spend a bit more on one bought at the main dealer. Regards, Gareth.

    D. Please do us a favour and change to a more human sensible name. DaveF perhaps? The diesel problems you mentioned are not unique to Audi or Mazda. Every modern diesel suffers from attempts to comply with emissions regulations. Some are more successful than others, but all eventually have to contend with DPF faults. See this topic for information about Audi mild hybrid. It is specifically about the A7 but the technology is apparently the same on other models as you will see from other members's contributions. Personally I would not touch one with a barge pole. https://www.audiownersclub.com/forums/topic/24906-alternator-failure-related-to-mild-hybrid-system/#comment-93343

    Is it noisy? There's cases of humming or ticking noises from the pump:

    These are now sold.

    Very nice. Think I've been past it.

    Thanks Naresh, I would suggest restricted use and very frequent level checking when you do have to use it. Don’t depend on the ‘low coolant ‘ message popping up to remind you to do that. Regards, Gareth.

    Hello David, Seems like you have your mA in a twist. Power consumption when the car has fully shut down (possibly in excess of 30 mins after being locked) should be around 50 ish mA, so 1.6 ma must be wrong. My guess is you are talking amp figures here rather than mA. Try disconnecting the alternator output plug - might be discharging through a faulty diode. Regards, Gareth.

    Any particular reason why your Sign On has now changed to Guest, Paul?

    thanks -for the welcome

    Welcome Mark, I fear you are about to throw your money away by engaging in this ‘carbon clean’ - a bit like putting on your best designer gear, when you haven’t changed your underpants for a week! If it were mine:- Check how much fuel is in it - hopefully not much - and add 2 gallons of E5 to which you have added a fair dose of Redex. (See this morning’s response to a similar issue with an aging convertible). Get it plugged in and find what codes are showing. It seems you have been told it has service history, but you have not seen the evidence before committing to buy. Bit of a chance taken there, but…. I would certainly keep my ‘carbon clean’ funds as far down in my pocket to render it inaccessible. Please let us know how you get on Mark. Regards, Gareth.

    Many thanks Gregg. Now understandable in knowledge of stale fuel. I would suggest you only use E5, and add a fair slosh of Redex to every gallon. Well worth treating it to an oil and filter change using respected branded filters and oil. Kind regards, Gareth.

    You're welcome 🙂 Yes. I believe a crank sensor can.

    Still shows as two broken play symbols on mine so just did two screen shots to show what it looked like.

    I assume the large wheels will have very low profile tyres, an arrangement that is known to produce a much harsher ride than normal, so it's reasonable to believe that is what has knocked out springs and bearings. Not sure about the drive shafts.

    Hello all Sorry to ask but my head is spinning with so many different answers regarding which GB oil is the correct 😓 I have a 2017 A6 C7 2.0 Tdi Ultra, DDDA engine with a manual RYS gearbox...I need some help finding the right spec oil please 🙏🙏🙏🙏 Thank you all and sorry for the trouble. Regards
  24. Mr G
    Offers welcome on these. Need them gone to buy something else. 😁

    And back
  26. Steve Q
    I'd get this into a garage asap. Let's hope it's a chain and not the crankshaft etc.
  27. Steve Q
    This link might help with the sloshing https://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/624964-Water-sound-behind-dash

    I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up or get an auto electrician to take a look.
