coupe4

try driving some of the roads over here in ireland! some potholes have fish swimming in them!!!

thanks turlough,i hadnt even heard of woolies before but ive just been on their website and it looks promising,ill ring them tomorrow and let ye knowthe outcome.greg.

hi gareth,thanks for the advice,ill check it out as id say this could be a solution because they seem in good condition but water is getting in in certain areas and they are robust enough to take some type of tubing.thanks again.

hi all.im looking for the rubber door seals for my 95 coupe as mine are perished,ive tried all the usual places eBay etc,audi tradition have them but at nearly 2k i cant justify buying them.im wondering if theres any procedure worth doing that would renew my own ones,second hand rubbers would probably be in the same state as my own,any suggestions welcome!thanks greg.

thats a great tip,its a place you wouldnt normally check for leaks

hi ian,id say you need to replace the motor and check for leaks before fitting the new one.water has gotten into it and theyre the symptons your getting

its very odd,it would definitely be worth getting checked out

i know in my 95 coupe it happens after about 20 mins if its just sitting ticking over but i know these cars run hot anyway and its a lot older!

i had a 2004 model steve and mine went the same way,it was the hazard switch that had failed.an easy fix.

Hi ian,have you had a diagnostic check done to see what the airbag issue is?i find on these models that the airbag light is slow to go out if theyve been parked up for a while,maybe get it plugged in and see can fault be cleared.

the seat belt probably need to be fully extended and the cleaned with warm soapy water,also some lubricant on the runners will help.its worth a try anyway.greg

getting it rebuilt is a great idea if you could find someone to take it on.if youve no joy theres a lad in scotland who still breaks a lot of these coupes as far as i know.mike ball is his name and audibits2 is the eBay sellers name.greg

no problem gareth,it amazes me when people come on here looking for help and then dont have the courtesy to reply or let us know if the advice was helpful or not.

maybe the coil is the problem,let us know if youve solved it.

i had the same issue with my coupe and it was the alarm too thatwas the culprit,i disconnected the alarm completely and it never happened since...greg

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!
