hi all,i am looking for what i call some foam to reduce the noise from round the base of the gearstick(please see pic) its for an audi a4 b8 2011 estate car.or any suggestions as an alternative.its causing a wooshing noise continously.thanks all.

i had a problem with my cluster it turned out to be the electrical plug/connector.try a bit of electrical spray and make sure it pushes home ok

welcome "M" i love norfolk😁 nice to be able to get hold of a car of that age with such low mileage enjoy

Hi everyone,As I had to take the bumper off anyway I have now the headlights removed!Can now see how the headlights can be changed without bumper removal!😁

a lot of removals 

the reason i never replied to your topic is because on the internet some were saying you can remove the headlights and some were saying you can't without removing the bumper🤔

funny enough just recently and typical my m.o.t was due for renewal and i got a warning on the dash to say my rear left reverse light had failed.i thought it was a bulb(none led) so i replaced it,but still no joy.so i fiddled with the connector and it came on.their maybe a slight fault with my wiring will just see how it goes.oh and yes now 12 months m.o.t

i tapped this in on youtube.audi coupe 1990 b3 fusebox location.theres a few diagrams etc can you look there steve

glad its on ramps and level.when refilling the gearbox(depending which one you have.there are certain procedures you may have to go through to avoid air locks etc leave it to the garage as they will pump the gearbox oil in best regards steve

hi all, ever since removing and putting back the centre console i have a noise coming through both the middle air vents while driving, as if i have the air con on.anyone else experienced this thanks

when you get multiple faults our friend steveQ has mentioned possible battery thats causing these issues

as steve Q has mentioned many times on here sounds like the battery as this can cause a few issues have it checked out regards stephen

• just to let others know my relatives porsche has arrived hope yours gets delivered very soon stuart

hi gary welcome to the forum. i find servicing my car every 6 months is suffice.as for how long an engine and turbo will last all depends on many factors.difficult to answer that one regards

this is one of the reasons why i am hanging on to my old 2.0 diesel as long as i can when i read threads like this as mine is only £30 a year road tax

while waiting i took the middle console out and sprayed some silicone around the base of the gear knob.no different.i could see though that the gear movement link on this looks quite long looking from above but could not see the end of the gear linkage itself to see if there was wear.may have to travel a few miles to a garage to have it checked.shame all these back street boys have gone.

thanks steve. a lot of garages in my area say they are busy i will get it checked out at some point regards stephen

i appreciate that steve i am curious why its only first gear only.how is it going with the car that needs an engine best wishes stephen

now and again when i try and put the car in first gear it feels a bit notchy so i have to double down on the clutch pedal and sometimes have to set off in 2nd gear especially when the engine is warm and stuck in traffic.(all other gears work fine).....i thought i wonder if i need to change the transmission oil in the gearbox or possible clutch as audi mentioned the clutch was heavy and worn.so i rang audi and asked them to change the gearbox oil(cheapest option) but they said it was not on their books to do this.been quoted by a local garage £100-£150 depending how much transmission oil is needed.i cannot find in the owners manual how much oil the gearbox holds.as far as i am aware neither the clutch or the transmission oil have been changed, and the mileage is nearly 190k anyone else had this experience with their audi a4 b8 2.0 tdi thanks all

glad you found the culprit, but what a pain.plenty of soaking beforehand to get those nuts and bolts off

its worth a check i had a pulsating winker once and it turned out that another winker bulb was at fault.you never know.hope you get it sorted soon regards

are you sure its the ecu at fault ?
