    Brake pads light on

    Hi guys, I have a brake pads light on every now and then. Changed them about 15k mi ago and they're still 75%. So I was wondering if anyone knew why would it come out. It disappears for a week or so and then comes back half way through my drive. Once I switch the car off and on again it's...

    Yep do have them on my b7. Good stopping power and less over heating. Tested in the Italy mountains. Better than stock in my opinion.

    Heating system problem

    I Have hanged my coolant to g13 just the past summer, so I suppose it can be done to the normal coolant used. Thank you for the tip. Will do and see what happens. Do you think poring in some rad flush like this one would help? Maybe pouring in with some water and leaving it for a while...

    Heating system problem

    Many thanks Carl, I hope it's not busted. What I was thinking is the following: The stat was gone for a while, (I know for sure as I was thinking that is normal). Being hot outside and mild weather during the winter I almost didn't use the heater. So I think that over time,being the stat...

    Heating system problem

    Is there an order for the hoses to be inserted or it doesn't matter? The top one is the cold one so I suppose that this is the return...and the bottom one the way in for the coolant.

    Heating system problem

    Cheers for the tip. Don't have anyone to do the vcds scan. Will try with a normal obd scan. Let's see what codes do I get. Will do the flush tomorrow, but just for the matrix (was thinking about a hose circuit- tube in on the top and another one on the bottom with water coming out into a...

    Heating system problem

    Hey Dani, Just had a talk with AUDI Cambridge. The thermostat by itself would be £22+vat, the housing and seal are about £12, so overall about £40. With Eurocarparts I go let a stat for £8 with the seal. It's a little ripoff don't you think?
