The clicking noise usually comes from the starter solenoid which you have not mentioned yet. Has it been checked?
-
Please do. In the meantime I shall release your other query that I hid pending a reply here.
-
Jack, was the above reply of any use to you? I know you have seen it.
-
Having just watched a few videos on the matter I now appreciate the problem of the foam detaching from the lining. The orange foam looks very like the stuff used in upholstery that crumbles and degrades as it ages.
-
Fair enough. I wondered at the possibilty of staining. Can't say I like the the use of staples either. They look !Removed! awful.
-
If the headlinings are normally glued in place as Richard says, I wonder if it is possible to inject glue through the lining at selected spots using a syringe with a wide bore needle. It would need a non staining low viscosity glue and one would have to find the right points at which to inject, but if it works it would save the effort of removing the lining. I have no idea if it would work as I have only just dreamed up the idea. Any opinions Richard?

Tony. There is a fellow associated with this forum who pops up ocassionally and offers insurance. Adrian Flux or something similar is the name. I know nothing of him.

Looking S6 C7 Brake Discs
cliffcoggin replied to Box Junction's topic in Audi Parts and Accessories For Sale & Wanted
If it is secondhand parts you want go to a car breaker. Why the clause about upgrading? -
Any comments on the above responses Mandy? I know you have seen them.

The stink may be unrelated to the DPF. For example paint or oil or underseal spilt onto the exhaust will slowly be burning off. There may even be a dead animal decomposing.
-
Probably, but there would be no point if the battery is damaged, so get it tested first.
-
If the EGR leaks, the coolant is lost into the engine and out of the exhaust. I believe it is possible to blank it off but your car will then fail the emissions test of the MOT.
-
A common culprit for invisible coolant losses is the EGR cooler, They have been known to leak internally yet still pass a pressure test.

It's hardly surprising a different model has different suspension. The spring will likely also differ.

Denise. I have merged your identical topics. Please do not create duplicates.

1.4 tfsi Clutch high and occasional squeal
cliffcoggin replied to Redred's topic in Audi A4 (B9) Forum
Any comment on the last three replies Dm? I know you have seen them. -
It's likely to be a worn rubber bush in one of the suspension or steering links.

Air Con not working properly in the front vents
cliffcoggin replied to M Kelly's topic in New Members Introductions
Possibly one or more of the flaps in the ducts are not working. It's a common problem that the garage should be able to diagnose. -
A wise choice.
-
A new screw is a much less painful solution than cutting your foot off.
-
Does it really need to be spelled out?
-
As you said, the housing is loose so it's likely the fans are hitting it or something else in the vicinity. The solution I would say is obvious.
-
Good. Your mechanic should have warned you of the potential for failure. Perhaps consider going elsewhere next time.
-
If the joint your mechanic moved was the universal joint that I mentioned and if it is still loose, then your car is in danger of suddenly losing its steering. Please get it repaired immediately.
-
Maybe, but lack of coding can lead to the new battery being damaged by the charging circuits so I still suggest you get it tested.
