    2.0TDI Glow plugs

    Connecting them to a 12Volt supply is a good way of testing. They should glow orange after about 1 second. The technical way will be to check the resistance across them with a ohm meter. Should read less than 1 ohm. Strange that all 4 have gone though? Jim.

    Bulb blown warning light

    What bulb had blown? I know that my old 1998 A4 only flashes the Glow Plug light to indicate a brake light buld has blown. It does not detect any other bulbs. I don't have DIS. Maybe someone with DIS can post what bulbs the system monitors.

    Electric Cooling fan

    Sound like a silly question, but are you sure the garage that replaced the cam belt has plugged the fan back in? The could have removed the rad to get easier access to the cam belt. Trace the cable from the fan back to the wiring loom. Hope this helps Jim.

    Central locking un-locks! ?

    As far as I can remember on my old A80, the central locking pump was quite a simple unit. Not like the A4 units that look after the alarm etc... The unit operates by monitoring the voltage on one of the cables, when you operate the key lock it sends either a +12 Volt signal or Ground signal to...

    Car won't start - A6, 2001, 2.7T, tiptronic

    Call Audi Customer Service and complain. The fact that the roadside assistance had to tow you to a dealer implies that the fault was not easy to fix. Explain to them that you have small children and wouldn't like to be stranded for hours waiting for the tow truck, see what they say. Jim.
