Hi folks, has anyone experienced premature failure on a water pump? I did timing belt & tensioner a etc, aux belt, water pump and coolant change 9k miles ago and just today noticed a coolant leak dripping from the bottom of the engine snub mount at the front. Above that is the crank pulls which...

Are the in-dash and rear cupholders interchangeable?, also can you replace a cupholder with a coin tray front or rear? one of my rear cupholders sprang into bits but they're pricey and I'd happily replace it with a front one or coin tray just to tidy up the remaining hole...

Hi folks quick question (2001 1.9tdi 130 awx)- The change over flap no longer operates due to the membrane in this little vacuum unit being gubbed- It attaches to the change over flap/egr valve housing. Question is, does anywhere sell new ones (even audi?), I know I can buy an entire new...

Hi folks, I've had a coolant leak for a few months now. It's emerging from drivers side, dripping down over starter motor onto the ground but I'm having trouble finding the source. It seems to leak about 1litre per 300 miles but if I'm parked facing down the drive (very very steep) it can leak...

Few quick questions for the knowledgeable- I have a 2001 avant 1.9tdi 130 (awx)- 1-are all awx's 130's? 2-is the inlet manifold for this engine unique or will other manifolds fit/be suitable? At 172k miles my egr and associated inlet pipework could likely do with a good clean and de-coke...

just wandering what is a 'normal' time span for these engines to reach operating temp (90deg coolant)? On mine at the moment the coolant temp gauge (if it's to be believed) doesn't move at all until 15 mins driving, it then rises rapidly to 90 and stays there for the rest of the journey. Seem...

Car: 2001 a6 1.9tdi se avant Hi folks, I've recently replaced both track rod ends and had tracking done. For the drivers side tre I gave it to a mechanic having run out of time to persuade the damn pinch bolt to move. I got the car back with the front wheels pointing in very different...

Hi folks, I'm due to change the thermostat on my high mileage 2001 avant (awx engine), and think draining/flushing coolant may be a good idea. However having looked at the coolant (i se-ringed some out of the header tank), i'm a bit confused as it's completely clear as water, it does smell and...
