Some of the 8V engines still had belt driven water pumps which are cheap to replace. For the electric driven pumps they are just over £200 on there own. I'm all for preventive maintenance, but as it's eternal and does not need the cambelt removed to change it. That job can be done when it...

Timing belts can be funny things. My farther was was told his A3 8P was chain driven, however when I did some work on the car a couple of years back I found the cambelt. The car had done 183K miles at that point. The belt still looked OK, but I changed it regardless. My 8V 1.5TFSI has no change...

Disconnect the plug going to the pump and apply 12v to the terminals on the pump. That will tell you if it's working or not.

The system needs to be pressurised, otherwise once up to temperature it's going to boil over. If the tester you have is not working well then try a different tester. You should also be able to bleed the system before the car is fully up to temperature, there is usually a couple of bleed points...

There are various reasons why people choose or stick with OEM parts, first you know it will fit first time, I've just received a water pump for my S2 which is listed by Valeo to fit my car but it don't fit. There is also warranty to consider for servicing parts if your car is still under...

It's most likely due to the new one series being front wheel drive the dealer must have got confused...

If it's tell you it's due then it will be due. Take a look at the online service schedule if it was done by an Audi dealership it will show you the service history. If it's been done by a third party then you will never know unless you have any paperwork or they had access to erwin.

Can I ask where you got the part number from, as it does not appear to be listed in etka. Never mind found it the third letter should be a zero not the letter O. So that part number is obsolete and and the replacement is 8V0 941 774 D (May give you more scope on an ebay search. The price from...

Actually it's a god idea to put the dryer inside the condenser, as if your condenser is holed then you should replace the dryer as well, as the dryer get's exposure to the atmosphere which can have plenty of moisture in it. Vacuuming the system will not remove moisture from the dryer so they...

Someone has fitted that kit to an A3 https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/automatic-tailgate.304215/ looks OK.

Etka is Audi's parts software. You need ODIS to remove component protection. Also hacked versions of ODIS like you see on ebay won't remove CP. only licensed version that have access to VW servers.

All service work required is listed on the my Audi site

On the A6 there used to be a common fault where the drivers side vent were hot and the passenger side vents were cold, it was not caused by the distribution housing inside the car, it was a fault with a coolant valve inside the engine bay. The fault happened on my C6 and after replacing the...

There is no right or wrong answer to this. You either remove the bag and then replace the coolant every 2-3 year to replace the silica that is lost over time (not a bad thing as you also flush the crap out of the system) or you replace the tank every few years. The decision is yours!

Think you have just been lucky, it's going on all models pre 2018. From what I have read 1st Jan 2021 google overlay will just stop working regards if you have a license or not, you may find your local area is still cached but it will no longer download any mapping images.

Sound like you have an issue with the haldex unit. When was it lasted serviced?

No digital display for the standard air con setup.

No it's not a straight swap, there are differences in sensors, main housing, wiring etc etc. It would a lot of work to swap over.

That page is talking about longitudinal engine cars (A4, A6, A7, A8, Q7 etc), which in the past have always been torsen based quattro. Cars like the A1, A3 & TT have always been haldex so it's not permanent quattro, it's managed by the ECU/hydraulics/clutch system of the haldex unit.
