what engine do you have mate, petrol or diesel..... You can check the vac pipes to the solenoids, and plugs connections to any other sensors, but you may need the codes scanned anyway to know for sure, and there may not even be a code if you have no cel. Limp mode is triggered by a variety of...

supply B+ too low doesnt necessarily indicate a drain or short, rather an intermittent break in the power to the wire or circuit common to the parts that show an error code. A fuse in the ECU compartment may have blown, or power to the central convenience module (fuse again or relay) may be...

May not be relevent mate, but the N108 commencement of injection valve, is a preinjection unit that seriously quells combustion clatter, you may have knocked the plug off or have a wrong plug on it as several are 2 pin jobs that fit each other like the EGR solenoid and the IMTS sensor, have you...

Use surgical spirit from boots (IPA alcohol) - buff with a cloth to remove the bloom left behind after, but its very good at dissolving glue. Dab it on with a paintbrush and use a cloth at the bottom just to catch the run off, the stickers should just slide off after a bit. Its harmless, but...

yep definately bent valves there fella. the 20v unit only has to jump 2 teeth to bend the valves. mine jumped and didnt break, exactly the same symptoms, but for a different reason, sludge had blocked the oil pump, the tensioner on the VVT dropped down, the VVT chain boxed up and the engine...

you can disco the aap and see if it stops, i never got round to it before the motor went from sludge. sounded like a small piece of plastic touching a fan blade...? or like those things outa the frosties you put on yer bike spokes when you were 8...

mine is exactly the same, and a blip to 1k rpms smooths it out, but mines a Bosch VP37 distro pump unit, TDi 110.....it is in my case, I think, a small fuel leak from one of my injector pipes. Holding 1k instead of 850 idle makes the fuel pressure rise, and picks up the dragging cylinder thats...

if its a distributor pump it can be worn pump seals, sticky anti-shudder valve or fuel cut valve, or a leak somewhere on the fuel system, allowing air to enter overnight and unbleed a line, or if its a common rail system the rail may not be holding pressure overnight, try priming with a couple...

mine was the same, decided it was either the alternator, or the aux air pump but seemed to come from the rear of the cam cover sometimes, the colder the weather the longer it buzzed.....never got to the bottom of it tho.

hehe yeah, what bothered me is some folk posted higher bhp/ton figures than mine - with heavier motors too....mine is the 163 and the only higher powered one (standard) is the 190....which comes out at a different figure again so everyone was either not using the correct weight or over...

good one james :laugh:

hiya and welcome! if you mean the throttle, the 1.8T is DBW yeah. Most cars are now, hydraulic... never used on a throttle, and if you originally meant the clutch then thats hydraulic but drive by wire means nothing there - can you clarify a bit mate? DBW refers to the throttle control only...

Here is a list of the proper kerb weights....not sure everyone is entering the right value there? http://www.cuddles.abelgratis.net/audi.htm Mine: (1.8T 163 2002) is 1491Kg Power to Weight: 111 bhp/ton 0-60...

for those who havent seen the car as it was / is, here are a couple of pics: What I have bought / had since it broke: Mazzer: VR6 2.5RS Scoob there was also a nissan 200SX turbo, a honda legend 3.2 V6, and the pug 406 oilburner I have now.....been a busy year!

I had sludge issues. standard 163 engine (no remap) went bang at about 50k miles and was very baby'd, never ever over 4k rpm and most time was only up to 3k rpm, and when it went there was no warning noises whasoever, right up till it went "yellow oil light - red oil light - tried to pull over...

hi crazy88, thanks for the welcome back mate! 1wheel!! Still jealous of your ****** gorgeous convertible mate! lol. Yep, I need to hit mine up with some serious modding, gonna be different I hope. Since im probly gonna spend the best part of £1500 just getting it running again, then it'll need...

hi mark, james, simon, j7uss! Good to hear from you lads again :) Yep, im glad I kept it cos nothing ive had (and theres been about 10 motors) has been a patch on the A4. I should know by thursday what it needs, but hey ho, if its an engine then so be it. The guys at the garage just finished a...

Eyup lads! My 1.8T had gone bang a year ago, and has been languishing in my inlaws driveway until today....its gone into the garage to get fixed at last! When it broke, new engines cost 2 kidneys and a lung - but they are a bit cheaper now and I cant wait to get her back. The garage is...

that looks perfect mate, might get one o those meself! £24, does all vag and fits in the glovebox. And the oil pressure can only be checked by connecting a screw-in gauge designed to measure OP, and read off the results, or use the code reader if it can read the oil pressure sensor data, like...

sorry its not m6, its a heating system thread size, 1/4" gas thread, ask in a plumbing wholesaler like the plumb centre or william wilsons etc, I made up an airline fitting for bleeding it and the adaptor that screws into it is definately 1/4". Its way smaller than m10, I just got a 1/4"...
