Hi I don't know what you are on about, changing the sensor is a joy, the bolt holding it in is nearly always seized and then you have the fabulous prospect of getting the new one in at the right angle without disturbing the reluctor ring on the crank seal, take in to account the swear box bill, buy the mechanic a beer. Steve.

Hi the oil sensor is common I had two on my car the oil is probably coming from the sump seal mine did that too, they also delight in leaking from the front crank seal and the cam shaft seals, they also leak from the oil cooler and the rear crank seal thats why there's a hole where the gearbox meets the engine to let it run out and spray down the under tray and cross member for the gearbox, you will always be playing chase the ace with leaks, rocker cover injector seals are another source of oil buying habits, I swear Audi have shares in Quantum Steve

Was the above response helpful to you Suheel? I know you have seen it and the responses to your other question.

Hey there Kieran, I've got an '85 Quattro B2 and was just looking for a wing mounted arial myself. https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/aerial-10795/audi/80/80-81-85-b2 Entering the reg. on their site and filtering to what you want seems easy enough. Good Luck Dean

Fair enough as long as it was coded.

Thanks, Steve. /Chris

Hey everyone, hunting a bizarre wiring short on a 2015 Audi A4 2.0 tdi 190ps . and wanted to see if anyone has encountered this specific failure point before I strip the entire loom back. The Core Symptoms: The car was doing an excessive amount of DPF regenerations. On vcds calculated soot mass was always quite high measured 90% of the time is in the negatives which is impossible oil ash at 30g Checking live data showed a permanent 5.7V on the 5V sensor reference line. I got new dpf sensor.after unplugging lots of sensors i Swapped in a second-hand ECU, and the constant 5.7V remains, ruling out a blown internal ECU voltage regulator or bad remap / adblue delete If the reference pin at the back of the DPF pressure sensor is physically depinned/isolated, the operations of the pressure sensor return to normal functions (or pretty much normal functions). The Breakthrough: While troubleshooting, I moved/wiggled the main wiring harness inside the static plenum/cowl chamber (roughly 4 to 8 inches away from where it exits the ECU box). Moving this specific section instantly triggers clicking relays, flashes the glow plug light on the dash, and throws "overvoltage to glow plugs Current Conclusion: It appears a constant 12V supply wire (ignition feed or relay trigger) has chafed, melted, or cross-shorted directly into the 5V reference wire inside that wrapped plenum chamber bundle, back-feeding and overpowering the circuit. My Questions for the Forum: Has anyone seen this bundle short out inside the static plenum chamber before? Is there a sharp factory clip or edge inside there known for slicing the tape? Does anyone happen to know which specific 12V feed runs parallel to the 5V reference line in this exact stretch so I know what color wires to hunt for? Any wiring diagrams for a 2.0 tdi a4 190ps or past experiences with this specific bundle would be massively appreciated!

Not having confidence in main dealers is terrible, although I feel I was dealt with ok this time I would avoid main dealer like the plague..😅

To be honest just buy it from the main dealer. Probably less than you think and you know quality is good. You'll need tensioner pulley and water-pump too.

Great pics and trip. I did something similar a few years ago it was great.

So the seats look like they're from an allroad. The wood is darker than mine. Sorry to hear the ECU is missing. Hope it's found soon!

Hi thats better I think a good spray with WD40 and then try twisting it, try left and right gently I have a feeling the end that goes in the filter cover has some sort of locking tabs. Steve.

Zac. It is not advisable to buy secondhand gearboxes for a car of that age, unless direct from a transmission reconditioning company. They will all be worn or damaged no matter what the seller tells you. Before buying any more gearboxes I suggest you get the car onto a diagnostic code reader to find out what is wrong. It may be that repair of the existing box will be cheaper than a reconditioned one or the purchase of another car.

That's remarkably cheap for a garage fitted wiper motor. I suggest you give them the job and save yourself the hassle of broken boot liner clips.

Hi everyone I have this wing which is in immaculate condition I have not got a paint code for it I’d like £40 because I don’t want to scrap it I live in Welshpool SY21 Powys wales not keen on posting had a very bad experience with it Really hope someone wants it

Hi if it stands for a long time the only thing that deteriorates is the pad sensor wires easy enough to replace and cheap enough aftermarket. Steve.

Myself and a friend put it on a lift to try and see if we could get at it but we couldn't. That's when I decided this was a job for a mechanic who had done a couple and he definitely went in from the top. Not sure how much he removed to get at it.

Congratulations Tim on the purchase of your superb new car. Enjoy it ! Also for your entertaining and descriptive post. Pleased it all went well. I too , like Ron, have also used DrivetheDeal once before. I have nothing but praise for them as I bought my first Q8 through them and they pointed me to the way of Audi Bury St.Edmunds where I bought my second Q8 and this present car. So Tim , take it easy for the first 1000 miles or so and then give it a blast somewhere.....and smile ! I was in mine with my Missus this afternoon and quite gently going round a roundabout before I took a turning off which goes up a quite steep incline to the town of Romsey. It was a dual carriageway and quiet so I switched the car into the dynamic setting, the valves opened, steering and suspension firmed up, the exhaust crackled and I gave it a blast and I'm still smiling now ! There's still a little bit of a boy racer in me, even at the age of 78 years and I cannot wait till we depart for Deutschland in October and play with our German brethren on the unrestricted part of the autobahn network. Tim, it looks as though you have specced the car very well as it's almost identical to mine minus the adaptive dampers. And I only specced those as I was coming out of a Q8 with air suspension. Finally, I know you mentioned that the car is in Mythos Black and can be difficult to keep clean. Not sure if you have already gone down that route with previous cars but have you thought about a ceramic coat for yours ? I first had one applied to my first Q8 and was so impressed, had the second Q8 coated and now my S5 Avant. Worth ever penny in my book. So, enjoy the car and keep in touch. Frank

As a new member does anyone know, and have experience of a B5 RS4 Specialist in the north east of England? I'm aware of Unit 20, but they are across near Liverpool and it would be useful if there is someone closer?

Not of any interest to anyone?

VCDS will pinpoint. Generally speaking, usually glovebox out to locate motor. Anyway cross that bridge once you get it scanned.
