Hi, trying to fit new crank sensor, but I don’t have the type of socket needed to remove the holding blot! Does anyone know the size and type of bolt! It’s not Allen key or standard bolt head? 

This is the one I mean!! I can’t find its name anywhere!!

It’s dirty smoke, usually black and mainly when accelerating, I’ve cleaned the egr, it was medium sort of build up. The little warning light is a new issue 😂 only came on today, the smoke and limp mode been happening for a while. Need to find someone to fault check car really 

So to add to a very long list of issues, today the glow plug light started flashing, turn car over, starts fine and light goes off, drive for a minute or two and light starts to flash, car seems to drive ok

had issues with car dropping into a limp mode every now and again and is quite smoky of late not sure if these are all related!!

a4 b6 avant 2003

any experience of this anyone🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

After seeing them I think both callipers could do with a rebuild, think the one that was making noise is sticking a little bit, not as much after I’ve cleaned them but I fear it will again

Yep brake pads where shot, good clean of callipers and new pads seem to have fixed the issue

strange though as the side making the sound were In slightly better condition 🤷🏻‍♂️

i did find that someone had cut off the wear indicator wire on the worst side!! And stuck a bit of wire in plug. And now I’ve re connected the new pads I’ve got a brake service light on so guessing past owner had an issue with this 🤦

So usually when not accelerating, there is a weird intermittent sort of rubbing sound from drivers side down by wheel, kinds of sound like something spinning and rubbing its like cha cha cha cha (excuse the cha cha Chas don’t know how to explain it lol) does not always do it and it lasts for about 10 seconds so don’t even have time to brake test, pressing clutch does nothing to stop it

also have abs/traction control light on every now and then, and just as I was driving in the wet the wheel on the driver side seemed to jump a little

ive had a look underneath and nothing seems loose or broken!! Any ideas!!!  Audi a4 b6 avant diesel 1.9t

Hey people

have an 2004 avant, the issue I have is the rear window heater does not work and as it’s getting to that time of year this good become a bit of a pain

I push the button and the light comes on but then goes straight off, and with no difference to the rear window 

I’ve checked the fuses and can’t see any issues

there seems to be a few lines on the rear window elements that look a bit worse for wear but when it comes to electrical issues I’m lost

am I missing something simple here?
