    cannot open bonnet lid- help!!!

    got my "check oil" light flash up, and when I tried to pop the bonnet to check the oil I couldn't get the lid to budge. I was able to pull the lever inside the footwell which popped up the bonnet and released the small catch at the front of the grill, but no amount of pulling would release the...

    Hi, I've just come back from a road trip down to Venice and back- I must have covered 3000 miles in a few weeks. Since I've been back I've noticed a strong smell of diesel in the car when ever I've pulled to a stop, and also outside the car towards the rear. I'm a bit concerned to say the...

    does anyone else's Climate fan speed sit at one bar???

    A couple of mornings now I've noticed that the climate fan speed when on Auto stays at one bar for a number of minutes before eventually getting up to a faster speed. Could this indicate a need to recharge?

    question to those who have had MAF issues....

    I'm at 78000 miles, and I've about to embark on a three week holiday down to Italy and Croatia. I'm getting paranoid about the MAF going, as I've heard it goes at about this mileage. Is it something worth worring about- ie: is it gonna be worth getting it changed before it fails?

    anyone know the location of the relay for....

    the climate control? To cut a long story short I had an issue where the relay for the fuel pump got drowned in water and fried and needed to be replaced. I experienced an "issue" with the climate blowing out cold then warm humid air in an alternating pattern, and I was just wandering if that...

    Hi, I'm new to the B6, and one of my tail lights has gone- I've already bought replacement bulbs. I've only had a quick look, but can't see how to get access to the tail light assembly.

    technical details of PD engines

    Hi, I am a recent addition to the Audi clan, having come from a very revvy Civic Type R. I have moved to an A4 TDI 130. I've seen some nice posts on other forums re: the Type R, and have a fairly good understanding of what's happening under the bonnet as the engine is performing, and I'm...

    Hi, merry xmas to all, and apologies if this has been covered before. The brake pad wear indicator has popped up on the display and I have a few questions: 1: how much do the dealership charge for this? 2: how much does the average independant charge for this? 3: is it easy for...

    MPG accuracy and playing fuel light bingo

    Hi, just wondering how accurate the mpg counter is, and also what is the lowest you've got to on your "miles remaining" counter. I'm sitting here at my desk waiting to go home on a 50mile trip, and the "miles" remaining is at 50 miles. Is it worth risking? Bearing in mind I'm a stubborn SOB...

    HELP!! Heated rear window and wing mirror problem

    I picked up my '51 A4 TDi 130 SE yesterday, and I'm less than please to find that the rear window demister and wing mirror heaters don't work. I know that they're operated from the same switch, so it's unlikely that the individual components have gone wrong. I thought about the fuse, which I...
