    What's Causing Excessive Fuel Consumption Following Repairs ?

    It's just one damn thing after another. :mad: Last week, I got the cracked ATF cooler fixed - The rad was replaced, fluids replaced gearbox flushed etc etc. I put 4 new tyres on it and then filled up with diesel - to give it a treat I added some Miller's Diesel Ecomax. Now it's drinking...

    Rear Wiper Blade - What's Fitted

    In a previous thread, I asked for your help identifying what had been fitted to the rear of my A4 Avant. I can't find the thread but here is a picture of it hoping you can help - I suspect it's a 'mod' and from an A3 or later model.

    Part number help

    I need to order a new bit for my Audi (on top of all the other expense I've just spent on it) but I don't know the part number. I'm after the 'catch' that holds the cover to the warning triangle 'cubby hole' that's in the tailgate on my A4 - the current one has broken. Can someone provide a...

    Getting it back up to standard - Help and Advice please.

    As detailed in another thread, I have just forked out a (to me) shed-load of money on sorting out the radiator / ATF cooler and that means that any plans to u/grade have to be put on hold for while. Although, having a Quattro for the winter is no bad thing. What that means is that a few things...

    Urgent advice requried - Oil Contamination in Coolant. Big bill?

    I took the car out today to sell. When the buyer started checking it over, apart from a droopy rear spring, he identified a much more serious problem. The expansion tank, rather than being opaque plastic was black and lifting the cap off, it was covered inside with a foul-smelling orange...

    Oh well, the honeymoon's over.

    I've just got back from a 300 mile round trip, most;y motorways and a-roads. 32mpg. Mrs Seeker's 2.4 petrol does better than that. And then last night, my 'quattro' lost grip at 30mph on a wet roundabout and nearly put me on the verge. Not very happy with it. I wish I'd spent half the money...

    Paint Question

    Just a quickie. I've had the wheel arch tidied on my car (thanks to Central Garage in Raunds, he did a great job) and part of the job was to have the whole arch re-lacquered. How long should I leave it before I can get the car cleaned by the local hand car wash? Cheers

    2.5TDI - Correct Running Temperature?

    I picked up my 2.5TDI Quattro Avant Tip yesterday and took it out for a long run yesterday. I noticed that the temp gauge never rose above ~70 degrees. Is this correct or is there a problem? It's going in for a service next week so I can ask them to sort it but a few pointers would be useful...

    A Short Hello

    Hello all. After 2 months away from Audi ownership, I couldn't take it any more and next Saturday will be picking up my new car, an A4 2.5TDI Sport Quattro Avant Tip. It's a 2002, 2 owner car with 102k on the clock but doesn't look it. :happy: A few people have told me I'm making a mistake by...
