coupe4

hi ian,thanks for the advice.ive done most of the things youve mentioned over the last 12 months and its improved slightly but ill check later for the isv and give it a clean.other than this issue its a great car and i love taking it out.ill post an update on how i get on later....cheers greg.

happy christmas to all members on the forum,its a great source of valuable information and interesting topics.long may it continue heres to 2023,best wishes to all.greg.

interesting points stevey thanks,-4 is the coldest its gotten here in southern eire so far,hopefully it will start going the other way soon

there should definitely be a cover on the ecu

i dont know if this is any help but an audi mechanic told me lately to always leave the mirror control switch on the setting pointing to the passenger side mirror.this turns off the heating element which prevents the glue drying out.obviously when you need to heat mirrors just switch to centre setting.greg.

hi george, audibits 2 in scotland has a few of these for breaking and he might have the part,mike is his name.

cotton

dash

run

break

looks a nice car,id definitely be keeping it!

hi antony,maybe try mike ball at audibits2,i think hes in scotland somewhere,its been a while since ive got parts from him but he used to specialise in all parts for audis from around that era.

hi chris, i think theres a thread on here somewhere about replacing this mechanism,im sure i saw it a while back

well done steve,it sounds like an interesting and well planned trip.i might look into doing a similar trip next year.

thanks neil they are good tips,im doing mine soon so ill let ye know how it goes,greg

you could probably buy one in a breakers for 100,fitting it isnt a big job and getting it wired by an autoelectrician would be the cheapest way to go i think.greg

a very clean example of a d2,id love to buy it but by the time i get it back here to ireland and the government hammer me for vrt[vehicle registration tax]it would be near 5k,best of luck with the sale though,greg.

hi,i know the 2.6 rack wont fit the 2.0 coupe and thats 1994,it would probably be easier to get your own one rebuilt as thats what id to do with mine 2 years ago,greg.

very nice car

thanks for the reply steve,ive just changed the 4 glow plugs so we will see if the fault stays cleared,never had any issues with it starting ,even after a few days parked up in cold weather.hopefully this sorts it,thanks again.

hello everyone,im looking for a bit of advice,the eml came on on my 2016 a6 and vcds says glow plug no.2 .i cleared the fault and the car is driving 100 percent but im wondering if changing the glow plug [plugs]will solve the issue or could it be a wiring issue.any advice or comments are welcome.

its a very clean car underneath too!

hi ian,theres a few fore sale here in ireland mostly 2 litre.have a look on donedeal.ie youl find 2 or 3 there.greg.

hi charles, i use liqui moly all the time as im told its a very good oil,i think a good quality oil and regular servicing saves a lot of money in the long run,greg.

thanks roy im brutal with computers but ill get my son [who knows everything!!!] to give it a shot.
