Last update got all the usual errors abs esp and the flashing coil not to mention the continuous brake lights. So bought another brake sensor but this time didn't depress brake pedal when fitting switched on ignition, brake lights as normal again... but flashing coil. Gave the brake pedal 2 good...
Update, managed to replace the brake sensor plug and extract each of the glow plugs without any breakages. All four had major resistance on the multi meter and look like they'd been there since jesus dog left Glasgow....
New ones back in but car needed jump started, she shot into life and has...
I actually wonder if the flashing glow plug error and the non starting could just be down to glow plug failure, and not something obscure like a brake bulb..
Hi guys I'm hoping for a couple of suggestions. The past couple days car has taken a little longer to get running. But was generally fine fettle for its age and milage. (A4 avant b7 184,000), anyway yesterday it just wouldn't start I have my flashing coil light on and eml on. After reading a few...
Well after forking over a large lump of cash to get my timing belt etc done on my avant - some hit and run t?@t has drove into my rear bumper - I’ve saw a similar one on eBay same colour but from a saloon and also has twin exhaust exits on the valance (although I think I can swap my old one into...

Could it be your aircon pulley? I’ve an 05 bke with knocking and rattling and when I stopped engine got my arm underneath auxiliary belt side and felt for play on the pulley wheel I was able to move it an inch or so like a dj scratching . What causes this is the rubber blocks were break up...
