alpha omega

hi,i have an audi a4 avant tdi but mines the b8 and i see your d/i/l's is a b9....hope her thermostat is not in the same place as mine as its a pain to do(see pics)mine is the thermostat(circled pic 1) surrounded by the casing it comes complete.i had to remove the alternator(pic 2 expanded view) to get to the torx screws and to be able to manoeuvre the thermostat and casing out....what a job getting it out,and back in.i had to put a clamp on the pipe to the right of the thermostat(see pic 3) to stop a leak i got after putting it all back together Grrrrrrrrrr.lol.....good luck hope your d/i/ls is easier to do than mine was.i only changed the thermostat as a precaution as i had changed the cambelt aux belt and rollers and because of the high mileage.kind regards stephen

does your dash look anything like this

please try what i suggested above

hello james welcome to the audi forum regards stephen😉

thanks for the advice steve much appreciated i will try the dipetane.no i promise i wont go anywhere near the inlet valves after reading what you've put.thanks also for the advice on the egr my engine is similar cjcb i think.but without the dipstick. kind regards.stephen😉

firstly i dont have any codes or management light on the dash.is it worth the hassle of of removing the egr/cooler to clean it up to improve miles per gallon.is it a big job too getting to the inlet valves to clean them out regards stephen

hi andy, welcome to the forum.thank God nobody was hurt.never heard of this happening to anyone.hope you get sorted soon with a good outcome.kind regards stephen

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
