I’ve just changed the timing belt on my 1.8T Audi TT MK1. I got the engine to TDC, marked the belt and refitted in reverse. When rotating the crank by hand, both TDC lines match after two rotations of the engine so all good there, but the crank sounds squeaky/creaky when rotating by hand. It’s...

I have an A3 2007 2.0 TFSI Quattro I’ve got a slight oil leak but can’t work out where from. There is wet oil on the heat shield around the cat (directly above the propshaft), there is oil on the subframe, electric steering rack, and some oil on the banjo bolt of the turbo. I’ve laid...

when the engine is warm, with the windows down or heaters on I can smell what I believe is oil vapour. I can also smell the same smell from under the bonnet. I’ve checked all breather hoses etc and can’t see/smell any leaks. No signs of oil and no leaks on the floor. It’s had a new genuine...

how do you see the whole thread of messages you have exchanged with someone? I’m looking back through a conversation but I can only go back a few messages

I did my front brakes today (not helped by a two hour downpour). After I did the passenger side I got in the car to press the brake pedal but when the ignition was turned on it beeped and I got a warning saying "PASSENGER AIRBAG ON" This stays on and won't go away and there's the orange...

ive used alldatadiy to try and diagnose fault P2196. It suggests it's either a faulty o2 sensor, faulty wiring harness or faulty Engine Control Module (ECM). Since I've changed the sensor I'm looking at testing the wiring harness. Question, is there anywhere I can find a layout of the...

I am trying to get my head around short and long term fuel trim (STFT / LTFT) information to help diagnose a fault. I have code P2196 which is Bank 1 Sensor 1 Rich. LTFT for Bank 1 is +22% (Bank 2 is normal, around the zero mark) I understand that the engine is compensating for a LEAN...

Ok, so in June I had a new exhaust and sports cat fitted to my 2007 A3 3.2 Quattro. Immediately afterwards I got a load of different fault codes, including cat below efficiency, too lean post cat, too rich pre cat etc etc. I understood the post cat faults given I had a sports cat fitted, but...

I have a V6 and two post cat lambda sensors. I know the connector colours are black and brown for bank 1 and bank 2, but are the sensors themselves sided? I have two new black connector lambda sensors, can I use a black one to replace the old brown one?

So today I had a full stainless exhaust fitted including some stainless sport cats at Tony Banks in Leeds. Very pleased with their work and it sounds superb. However... on my way home, as I gave it some beans I got an engine management light. I assumed this would be to do with the emissions...

Today when winding the window down I heard a horrible crack sound when the window got near to fully open. I wound it back up to closed and now it won't go down at all. The noise sounded like glass cracking but the window is fine. Any ideas? I think I still have power to the switch as I can...

I'm trying to activate the CH and LH lights on my car. I have a 2007 A3 8P without auto headlights or auto wipers but with Xenons. I visited forum member ShaunS3 to activate it with VCDS but unfortunately it didn't work. I've ordered a repair wire to connect from pin 12 to earth, but I've...
