I'm looking to help a friend out who recently bought a 2003 A4 avant. For piece of mind he wants to replace the cambelt. It's an AWX 1.9tdi engine. Is there any guides or how to's on how to do it? I've heard it's quite a straight forward replacement as far as cambelts go. Need to gather a list...

Ok, my 2002 1.9tdi was overheating, one of the radiator pipes was hot and the other cold which suggested the thermostat. I had this replaced but it's still overheating, the coolant/want is bubbling and the doesn't seem to be any hot air coming through the vents. Can anyone suggest what the issue...

I have a 52 reg A3. It has the digital climate control. However, what with this warm weather there is a bit of an issue! The air con on the coldest setting is blowing out luke warm air. The gas is filled up, fuses fine. Last summer it worked a treat. Anyone had a similar issue?

Looking to help a friend buy a replacement car. He is looking at a 1.8 non turbo A3. It's a facelift one. Just looking for some tips. Here is the link to the one he is looking at: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2001-AUDI-A3-SE-SILVER-/181160063210?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2a2dfb30ea Is 98k miles...

Driving out of a car park today, the dash beeped and the whole display was flashing with a red icon like (O) with an ! in the middle. It stopped flashing then came on again a few seconds later, stopped and hasn't been on since. Any have an idea what this could be?

Went for a drive tonight and went to use the hand brake and it shot up and hit the arm rest. No resistance at all now. Sounds like theres something loose in side of it. How do I go about to check what the issue is?

The normal tyre size is 205/55/r16 for the wheels on my 1.9tdi Quattro. The rears have 225/50/r16 tyres however, The fronts need replacing and I aim to put some Rainsport 2s on there. However I'm just a bit concerned that I won't see much benefit with the decent tyres on because of the big side...

Whilst having a wheel off yesterday I noticed that both front tyres have worn more on the inside than the outside, the fronts are up fro renewal soon anyway. The inside of the tyres, by about an inch i'd say, is almost bare, whereas the rest is about 2mm-ish. I gather this is to do with...

Since I've had my car (2 years) it's been missing it's under tray. With all the recent cold, salty conditions, it made me think about buying one with the new side pieces and attach it. Do you think an under tray is that important?

I'm looking at replacing my front two tyres soon (rears have plenty of tread and can wait for the time being). Having read lots on here about the Falken 452s, I noticed the Falken ZE-914s. Is there much difference between the two? I'm mainly after grip after wanting rid of my nanking tyres!

Looking at possibly changing my haldex controller to a blue one if i can find one. Can somebody please tell me where the controller is located?

My Haldex is coming up for a service soon and just wanted to know the going rate at a garage to replace the fluid and filter. I also hear that Badger 5 does this service too :).

I've noticed this happening often mainly in the wet during normal city driving, pulling away from traffic lights and stops. I can feel a little rumble from the front of the car until the tyres pick up. If I pull away slower it doesn't happen. Now, these tyres have been on the car nearly 2 years...

I had to replace my alternator clutch about a year ago now after it seized and caused some horrible noises and steering feel. The new one seems to of failed again! I have now bought one from GSF (I think the current one was from someone on ebay, new but not sure if it was OEM). I can't seem to...

Had an MOT today and it passed fine. However, when driving home I noticed some odd engine noise. Sure enough when I parked up I got the horrible grinding noise and vibrations through the steering. I had this about a year ago and a new alternator clutch solved the problem. Is it likely that this...

I have had an aftermarket xenon kit fitted in my facelift A33 for over a year now and it passed the last MOT fine but I have one tomorrow and I'm starting to worry a little wether or not it'll pass if there have been changes. They don't dazzle any oncoming drivers. Has anyone experienced the...

Instead of repairing rust on both doors by taking it to a garage, I think/hope it'll better to replace the door skins with some from a scrapped vehicle. Has anyone replaced a door before? I'm thinking of taking it to a garage to get them to do the work. Will it likely cost much?

I need my oil leak fixing but want to take it somewhere that has been recommended to me. Also, my MOT is up soon. Not sure where to take it.

There is an annoying, yet intermittent, rattle coming from I believe the passenger side dash. Likely around the glove box/air vent area. It sounds a bit harsh when I hear it, much like a vibrating metal nut vibrating on plastic. Has anyone else had this before? Or recommend what I should do to...

Recently when setting off in the morning there is clunk from the rear, it feels and sounds like the rear brakes are sticking. First time I noticed it the handbrake had been on. However, the next time I made sure not to put the handbrake on and it still did it... Is there an underlying issue?
