    Whatever spring you settle on, ensure you do the same on the other side. Springs should always be replaced with matched pairs.
  2. cliffcoggin
    Thats up to you, but you would need to cut back to a straight section because sealing the new hose on a bend will be difficult.
  3. cliffcoggin
    A3 clusters of that era are known to fail, so don't discount a similar problem with your A4. They can be repaired by several companies for less than £300. ECU Testing have a good reputation in that respect but there are others if you care to search.

    Gary. Am I right in thinking you to get rid of the car in one piece, rather than break it yourself? You are welcome to advertise it on this forum's Sale section. You should include a good description, an asking price, and what you propose regarding collection/delivery. I have to add that I think it unlikely you will get more than the scrap value, but you have nothing to lose by trying.

    I am not familiar with the A4 so I can not be more specific. A large radius bend will put less strain on the hose than a small radius, but don't go to extremes. You don't want such a large radius that it flops around or rubs against other components.

    Stephen. I have moved this topic to an A4 forum as it does not belong in introductions. I can't answer your questions, but I do ask what makes you think you need all those modules. Are you certain they are all defective?
  7. cliffcoggin
    Mark. If that is the return line, not the delivery line, then it will not need to be bled. The outside diameter is unimportant; it's the internal diameter that needs to match your existing hose to ensure a snug fit on the metal pipe. Ensure the hose is suited to the fuel. Not all grades of hose can be used on both diesel and petrol.

    Amelia. You had marked the wrong post as the solution. I have changed it to the correct one.

    I have no recommendations, but this came up in an internet search: https://www.autosiliconehoses.com/rubber-hose-steel-overbraided-fuel-oil-nbr-automotive-hoses.html

    I don't know about ready made hoses, but there are companies which will fabricate hoses to order.
  11. cliffcoggin
    My guess is the ignition switch or one of the relays is defective, causing the contacts to not open. I suggest you get it tested by an auto electrician.
  12. cliffcoggin
    What was the result of the latest investigation?
  13. cliffcoggin
    Surely Nextbase would be in the best position to answer that question?

    Cold weather always reveals the weaknesses in batteries of all types: lead-acid, ni-cad, lithium, zinc-carbon.
  15. cliffcoggin
    I'd agree with Steve that the cheapest long distance motoring will be provided by a diesel, but bear in mind when you choose a car the big changes to Vehicle Excise Duty that are coming in April. I would go further and say that hybrids are an awful compromise between liquid fuel and electric. Choose one or the other.
  16. cliffcoggin
    That's probably why the cost was so reasonable. I doubt a main dealer would have been so cheap.
  17. cliffcoggin
    Mark. I have moved it to C7.
  18. cliffcoggin
    John. Were the forum answers of use to you?
  19. cliffcoggin
    I think you are probably right Mike, but we'll never know as Gareth has not returned to the forum since 16th December.
  20. cliffcoggin
    I am clearly wasting my time trying to convince that your battery is clapped out, so I'll leave you to it. Good luck.
  21. cliffcoggin
    Ask ECU Testing. I know they can do modern instrument clusters, so maybe they can repair yours.
  22. cliffcoggin
    Yet you said it needed to be recharged five times in three months. That is not the sign of a battery in good condition. I suggest you get it professionally tested.
  23. cliffcoggin
    Are you now saying it does hold a charge? That is not the impression I got from your earlier comments.
  24. cliffcoggin
    In that case it would be wise to wait until the garage have issued a new MOT certificate, and then re-assess the car.
  25. cliffcoggin
    Allowing the battery to flatten will have damaged it, which is why it will no longer hold a charge. That damage will also interfere with the cars electronics and may explain many of the faults you experienced. I suggest you buy a new decent quality battery of the right capacity as a first step, and then get any remaining error codes checked on a code reader such as OBD11. Let us know how you get on.
