alpha omega

hi steven.my battery is in the boot is yours ? as my negative lead is attached to the lowest part in the boot right were the water has been gathering.as gareth has mentioned have the battery efficiency checked(as one of the culprits) once any wiring has been dried out

this is what this forum is all about to try and help with good advice well done clifford and gareth.and to all others who contribute too.

i booked in for a gear box oil change online for my audi a4 tdi 2011.they came back to me as not needed.but at 196k my 1st & 2nd gears are notchy sometimes.(have to double clutch).so ive checked with a garage. £150-£180.not booked in yet.

great stuff david.thank you.i just need a guide now and pictures lol😁

well done david.....though no eml light has come on i know with having high mileage i need to do my inlet maifold and is it possible to clean the egr valve on my audi a4 tdi 2011 avant rather than buy new. and does anyone have a guide to do this with pictures all the best everyone

why are thermostats hard to do on some of our cars like my audi a4 2011 2.0 tdi.they used to be so easy to do in days gone by

mine was a pig of a job to do too on the audi a4 tdi maybe try what cliffcoggin thinks first regards stephen

had to do similar. bumper off, service mode.while doing the cambelt changed the water pump aux belt and all the pulleys.are you mentioning the lights and adjusters because it was a learning curve darryl.or just a good tip lol

translated into english......Good evening,i have a 2009 Audi A4 B8 automatic transmission.it happens that when i start to understeer or go uphill the car jumps noticeably.some advice thank you

welcome to the forum AB regards stephen😁

hi and welcome.....would you think having a diagnostic check for codes may help.....good luck if you need to change the thermostat.i had a right job getting the thermostat out in such a tight space.(thermostat sealed in a plastic casing)....i ended up taking the alternator off to get to it.then you try getting the pipe back on that runs to the right of the thermostat for the coolant to run through.check for leaks in that area once its all back together best wishes stephen

lol simplicity first

my old auid a4 2011 parcel shelf was not sitting right in place and making a knocking noise. so a few squirts of the smelly WD40 and massaging the mechanism on the parcel shelf for 15 minutes or so sorted itsorry i have no idea about an a5 2018 but this could be the problem...now sits in place and no knocking

it performs its function but audi says charge it up the stop start is not performimg like it should and when i put the snap on to check things it says please ensure that the battery of the vehicle is kept above 12.75 volts.... so i am losing communication with the car when trying to check for any codes/faults.not tried an audi independent gareth.regards stephen

no gareth

i bought a brand new(supposedly), halfords stop/start battery from eBay i took it to audi but they could not code it to the car.so i went to halfords and said it would cost a £100 to code it to the car.so i left it.

check fuses do you have a owners manual

would unplugging the radio and waiting a few hours(inconvenient)then trying it.regards

it seems a common fault...is this the video to do this.

....it says make sure you have an 8m spline bit read the rest of the first comment too.i have read also that the fault can be caused by the main door lock too.but dont quote me on this.

well done, so pleased for you.i have had a lot of help on here too. great forum. i like your car🙂

hi,did you end up taking the egr out in the end and cleaning it.if yes what cleaning agent did you use. any pictures as i was going to have a go myself at some point as i know the holes can get blocked even though nothing has appeared on the dash.just a precaution thanks

apologies for a late reply had 4 deaths in the past few months, one recently.i bought the oil/air/fuel filter and sump plug from audi and mobil 1 from eBay....not impressed with mobil compared to the shell helix ultra.so will try the quantom long life 3 thanks gareth regards stephen(no fuel filter showing)

thanks gareth.its not due for a change yet i only went to audi to buy some anti freeze and they showed me that oil. but will look at that oil from eBay as i dont want to sign up to amazon.cheers stephen
