Evening girls and boys,
Had a bit of a groan coming from steering for last few weeks which i thought was worn ball joints etc but turns out it's a power steering leak.
Noise was horendous and steering heavy so topped up with mineral oil which fixed it until i took it for a spin and noticed...
My alternator is knackered, battery light flickered on and off for a day and now have solid light and not charging.
Been to the Stealers and friendly parts man has quoted me £242 for a 059 903 015 GX, I'm still unsure if this is the right alternator for mine as he said it was a valeo but this...

Bit of a strange intermitent 1 this, last week I noticed the speedo going nuts then it stopped working all together on way to work, took it back out at lunch time and the speedo was working but it had developed an evil missfire / stutter at approx 2200rpm in 3rd gear under load but would rev...
Recently had big probs getting into gear especially first/reverse and a lot of vibration through clutch pedal at top of travel.
Fairly sure this is a terminal DMF but like to confirm before i have to fork out £400 + £180 for clutch while we're at it!
only query really is that when it's cold...

the central locking on my 2001 C5 A6 has gone ape sh1t, been working fine for a year (how long i've had car) but recently the rear drivers side door has not been working the interior light correctly and then on saturday it really threw all it's toys out of the pram; i unlocked it then it started...
Always had this issue so finally trying to get to the bottom of it;
How do I synchronize the passengers temp to be controlled by the drivers side buttons on digital A/C?
I'm sure i read about holding the auto button or something like that but I've tried all sorts of combos to no avail...
Getting the 00776 fault code showing on VCDS lite - done some interigation and the voltage is showing as only 0.2v for the offending item (should be 1.5-3v as per the rear that works) this means that the sensor is at fault rather than the wiring (according to vcds).
Looked at the sensor and the...
As per title, VCDS (lite sorry can't afford real deal at the moment) struggles to connect to the HVAC controller.
scans for vag number, component, soft coding & shop and eventually finds all 4 at once but then i go into fault codes and it looses comms before i get anywhere.
is there a fiddle...

1 Fault found:
00542 - Needle lift sensor (G80)
30-10 - Open or short to B+ - intermittent

Good morning guys and gals, well as expected with this mild :cold:weather the old girl is struggling to start in the morning, turns over quite slowly and the voltmeter on the dash drops right down to 8v, it does finally catch but not for long I suspect.
Borrowed the old mans flash new CTEK...

On the way down to Swansea this morning and saw a rather tasty looking A6 (C5) followed me off roundabout on the A465 and that's when i noticed that his arches were a bit wider than mine!!! swiftly moved over when i could and watched him dissapear at warp speed...

I downloaded a manual form this site a few weeks ago but it turned out that it only installs on XP, i contacted the site and they sent me out a dvd copy FOC:sm4:
I've taken a couple of weeks to get xp sorted (running in a virtual pc within vista now) and when i installed the...
fiddling with the plastic cover on my 2.5tdi today as it was cracked when i bought it, only gone and made it worse i.e crack is now a hole!! So i've left it off as doesn't seem to do much apart from stop you seeing more engine? Where is best place to get replacement ?
Afternoon folks hope we're enjoying the sun, is it possible to convert a square 10 pin connector on a 6 disc changer to round pin?
