    Crankshaft Position Sensor location

    Hello all OK, so the next issue on my never-ending trail of engine faults is P0335, a faulty Crankshaft Position Sensor I've now got the replacement part, but for the life of me, I can't find the location under the bonnet. I've had a good root around, and checked Google, but can only find...

    Alternator Change

    I need to swap out my Alternator on an A4 B7 2.0 TDI, but I'm having trouble with the serpentine belt tensioner, which means I can't get it off the alternator. I've tried to put a 17mm spanner on the bolt circled here, but when I rotate clockwise, the bolt just slips, and there's no reduction...

    Fk fk fk fk fk.

    I just bought a new battery for my car, the old one wasn't holding charge (Alternator worked fine, delivered 14v) So I tried to fit the battery today, and for some reason, the battery poles are at the rear of the battery, not the front. Stupid me, I fitted the battery with the poles facing...

    Security Access Code

    Hey all. I'm trying to force a manual regen of the DPF on my car. The DPF light is on the dashboard, the engine control unit says the last time the car did a regen was 890km ago, I took it for a run down the motorway for an hour today, but that didn't force a regen. The car is in permanent limp...

    The dreaded P0299

    Urrgh... I'm generally happy with my car, she's got a lovely interior, but every now and again, the dreaded P0299 (low boost pressure) pops up and the car goes into limp home mode until I clear it. I've got an Android car stereo running "Carscanner" and a Bluetooth OBD2 scanner installed, but...

    EGR/Inlet manifold Replacement

    I've had the EGR and Inlet Manifold off my car to replace the inlet manifold flap actuator. That went fine, but the car is still running lumpy. The inlet manifold flaps were all sooty, I did my best to clean them but it wasn't perfect, along with the EGR, which came up nice and shiny, but...

    New Car issues

    Hi All. I just got a 2007 A4 B7 TDI Quattro 170. A couple of issues have shown themselves since driving it home. Nothing showing on the OBD. I think it was probably wiped. It's a lovely-looking car, dark metallic blue with a bling package, but not S-Line. I've got a few questions: - The cruise...
