    Going to buy a b8 A4 2.0tdi... Things to look out for?

    As the title says really, any specific pointers? It's the 143bhp model. I've done some searching and can't say I've come across any recurring problems or anything major. Also it's an auto - will it be a CVT box? Any specific maintenance interval on those? Cheers

    Stage 2 fuel cuts and loss of boost/power, logs attached..

    Hi guys, Been a couple of weeks since I sold my a3 BKD and picked up a MK5 Golf GTi :meeting:... pics attached :lick: Now the golfgti forums are nowhere near as active (and helpful?) as I found ASN to be, so I thought I'd be cheeky and post my issues here since the platform is the same! I...

    How To Program Keyfob And Cruise Control?

    Hi guys, Mates just picked up an 06 plate 8P2 with just the one key, however the fob doesn't seem to work even after a few battery changes... Will it need programming? Also no response from the cruise control either, doesn't seem set? No light on dash etc. No DIS if that matters. Thanks

    Outer CV boot replaced, knocking noise still there?

    Had both outer CV boots replaced about a month and a half ago. Recently I noticed a knocking type noise whilst driving straight, and then a clicking whilst turning also. Car went on a ramp for ABS sensor and at the same time I realised the drivers side CV boot was leaking, same side where both...

    ESP light on, ABS light on and DSG gear changes erratic!

    Earlier on today, all of a sudden after a refuel the ESP light came on, and the DSG stopped shifting up until it hit redline. Moments later the ABS light also came on! So after a quick search it became apparent that the most likely cause of this would be a rear wheel speed sensor. Just checked...

    How can I repair this?

    Basically about a month ago, my Pioneer DVD player was stolen from my car. The thieves managed to also rip of a plug from the wiring loom and I'm yet to get this repaired. Driving with no stereo is driving me crazy slowly so really need to get this sorted. An auto-electrician had a look and...

    What now? Specialist refuse to carry out work!

    I posted a couple of weeks ago about a friends car on here, along with a list of faults with the car as returned by VCDS. There was a cylinder misfire, overboost along with a couple other niggly bits. Along with this, the car was loosing coolant with no visible signs of leaks anywhere so it may...

    Car in limp mode, temporarily

    Hit the motorway last night, downshifted to 5th using paddleshift and floored it... Now normally the DSG upshifts itself, and returns to auto mode, this time however when it got to the redline (I'm distracted somewhat by what's going on around me) it doesn't upshift, instead just goes into...

    Good or Poor fuel economy?

    Okay so I've had the car (2.0TDI, BKD) serviced, fuel, air filters all changed etc. I'd like some opinions on what to make of my MPG. Now a few days ago (after the service), a trip to Manchester airport was made. That's around 105 miles round trip, and I went through exactly £20 worth of fuel...

    What's the max line for the coolant?

    Got the car serviced yesterday from a local specialist, checked the coolant today and it's just filled to above the halfway seam level. I'd kept it between the 2 lines myself, so the garage will have topped it up right? (can't have come from anywhere else, although it is a hot day?!) Have they...
