Thanks

Been trying to order the above from Camberley Audi, quoted the part number "8D099339E" which I found in this thread : http://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/poly-snub-mount-options.117031/ But Audi say "the part number doesn't make sense" they say I'm missing a number or letter from the part...

I've been getting excessive front/back movement on the gear-lever, even after changing both engine & transmission mounts... I'm about to have the timing belt etc changed and while the car is in service position was wondering about having the "snub mount" replaced at the same time. Apparently...

Don't worry Aragorn, I've managed to find the correct readings to compare the two outputs from the CTS and as you suggested it's fine, the two temps are constantly within a couple of degrees of each other. So guess it's the hardboard shield over the rad until I can build up strength to open the...

Thanks Aragorn, that's brilliant, I'll get myself some hardboard then - well worth it for the fuel saving for even a few weeks! Should I align the board to the left or right of the rad (facing it from the front), or centre it, thought maybe I should avoid covering the area the aircon/overheat...

I'm fine with that, and agree the thermostat is clearly stuck open. I just wanted to rule out the CTS as a contributory factor in the car running rich. I'd rather follow through the diagnostics process and rule the CTS in or out based on a comparison of its two outputs in VCDS, but as I've said...

Thanks to you both for the replies. In my VCDS it just says "temperature" doesn't seem to specify the temperature of what! Do you know the exact group/block in 17 I should be monitoring, I went through all of controller 17 readings and this was the only reading labelled temperature I could...

Thanks Aragorn, that's useful info. Well I've been out and monitored CH49 on the CC and re-run VCDS and have the following to report: On this test set the figure CC CH49 reports seems reasonable and coincides more or less with : [VCDS CON1, GRP4, BLOCK3] = 63c Where as [VCDS CON17, GRP2...

I have a 2.4 V6 and it's been drinking fuel like mad, seems to be running very rich all the time. Also the MPG display is very erratic when driving, keeps displaying 0 and also seems to be just flashing up random numbers, seems to have little to do with the way I'm driving, have seen it flash...

Thanks for the info. Take it there's nothing worth lubricating in the column or rack then? I suppose I should have added resistant and just generally weird to my description of the steering, and handling feels sloppy - disappointing after all the new parts it's had. Hoping it's just something...

I had thought this might be due to some kind of geometry issue but from my other post the general view was that my settings are pretty much as good as it gets. So the steering issue is bugging me now, and thought I'd see if anyone had any ideas... Some background, I bought the car dirt cheap...

Thanks to all who have replied. I guess I'll have to put it down to experience as far as price is concerned, I was in a hurry to get out of there and didn't realise at the time that he'd only done the toe adjustment.

Thanks Chris, point taken! I'd just expected better of them - based on this: http://www.msautos.co.uk/Home/Tracking/ Sadly, Birmingham's a bit of a trek, and want to keep driving to a minimum with the car like it is...

Thanks to you all for the replies. Leegsi - No, the car is not lowered as far as I know, I replaced shocks and springs at front based on original suspension code 1BA, the rear shocks are badly worn so guess original setup. ChrisH370 - Yes, he did mention moving the subframe, and like you say...

I took my car to a specialist alignment service, I have a printout that I've attached, I don't know much about these things but even I can see things are not right, and the car still doesn't feel right. Can someone explain to me what the different settings on the printout mean, and what they...

I feel a right muppet now, no it wasn't. At least I've got the excuse of being new to Audi's... Thanks for the help, just wish all my car troubles were as easily solved!

I've got a year 2000 Audi A4 V6 petrol, I recently did a rad flush and noticed that when I was running the climate control on its hottest setting in the car to try to fully circulate the water that the auxiliary cooling fan was running the whole time - even when I'd just refilled with cold water...

Thanks for the links. The page on oil leaks was very useful, I also followed a link from it to the page on the breather system, they sell a kit to replace the lot by the look of it - but it's a US site. I found a kit available on ebay UK which seems to have most of the parts: AUDI A4 B5 A6 C5...

That would make sense, will give it a try. One last thing, is there a Haynes or similar manual that would cover this engine?, the manual I have doesn't cover the V6.

Thanks for that. Just wondered why the oil cap?
