Hi, I've recently bought a manual 2.0 diesel 2016 S-Line, it was actually a cat N write off, however only very minor front damage, it was just plastic bits that were broken, plus one parking sensor. So something I could fix! It's one owner and been looked after. However I've noticed that after only relatively hard acceleration then clutch is going to the floor and its hard to put into gear, it does slowly recover. It's fine when driving shall we say economically! Has anyone experienced this, could it just be some sort of air lock or am I looking at replacing expensive parts!

Thanks Frank, Have you worked out the economics of buying different size wheels and then appropriate tyres vs. having your current wheels refurbished?

I got same issue had water dried it up now seat not working do u spray contact cleaner on swich side of seat to?

It's the intercooler pump. A member had a similar issue the other day: https://www.vwaudiforum.co.uk/forum/showthread.php/198777-P-190-d

You need a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. Also what engine has the car got? Does it happen in certain weather or temperature conditions? Any warning lights on? Any recent other work done to the car?

You're welcome 🙂 That I'm not sure.

Hello Steve, thanks for the link. I remember coming across this before and even spent about a week trying to find it again, but I couldn’t find it. Really appreciate it. Is this something I can diagnose with computer maybe before removing EGR?

so if i get audi a1 wheels with same p c d of 5x100, what tyre size that you can recommend that i can fit to maintain correct speedo reading thank you for any help cheers

This link might help: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/432653/%3famp=1 But looks like it could be an egr being stuck open.

Hi guy can anyone help my a3 losing power I have noticed there is a pipe to the left of air box (connected) that is not connected to anything it is sucking air in I have tested to put sock over it to see if it changes but no change can anyone advise thank you in advance

Please keep us posted on how you get on 🙂

Hi Riflo, What a diamond. Thanks Paul

Does that mean the bean counters have been working at at SKF and Timken? I've not heard of F. A. G.

My concern was did the bearing fail over working on the cv joint , or did they damage it doing the cv , is this a common, should the bearing and cv be done together

There's a SKF bearing going in , one was put in on other side 55k ago and still perfect.

Hello, this is the part number for rear left tail light: 4G9945095B

It's booked for an MOT Saturday, then I'll be doing a driveway service and trying to trace the alarm sounder and module. Will update if that fixes the battery drain.

HI I HAVE A 2018 A4 2.0TDI I HAVE AN ERROR CODE OF P190D COOLENT PUMP FOR CHARGE PRESSURE COOLER . DOES ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ON THIS PLEASE

I'll be watching this thread with interest as I have a Cobra alarm fitted to my 1988 Coupe GT. I want to remove/replace it but the car works at the moment........

Make sure the fit a F.A.G. Bearing. Basically fit and forget. Car parts are not what they used to be, so cheap parts reveal themselves prematurely with normal wear and tear.

But unfortunately the wheel bearing on the side has gone bad in the 2 weeks since the cv joint was changed, coincidence or was damaged during the cv joint saga , either way its going in for a new wheel bearing tomorrow. The joys of a 10 year old A6 !!! Regards

Hi riflo, The VIN is WAUZZZ4G2EN077159. Many Thanks, Paul

Yes its resolved, they replaced the outer cv joint again , they think the 1st one was faulty out of the box . Regards

I have exact the same issue but only when out in reverse after a long drive. Single clank noise from wheel and that's all. Can this be the arm/wishbone ? Has yours been resolved now? If so what was it ? Thanks.

If I may expand upon Magnet's reply, he means that if you change to 1 inch smaller wheels you need to fit 1 inch larger tyres in order to leave the overall gear ratios unchanged. But that is not all. The amount that the wheels are offset from the hub (or dished) also needs to be unchanged in order to avoid the tyres hitting the suspension and bodywork. That's why I can not be certain Ibiza wheels will fit. Probably they will, but I'd want certainty before spending money on them.
