    A4 b7 2.0t bul engine heater only blowing red hot or a/c

    when does it do this?On auto or manual or both?Could be related to the flap controlling the air from the heater which is only fully open or closed and not reacting to the temp setting.The motors can stick but this one maybe has lost its sensitivity to the setting.Not easy to get at though

    Urgent advice please! 3.0Tdi viewing tomorrow

    Very low mileage for the age.This is a lot to take on as a runabout but great V6 to drive and Quattro is solid gearbox

    Battery drain...

    Perhaps it might be relevant to say that we spent a long time wondering where the battery charge was draining on a TT Roadster until noticing a leak in the rear window just over the convenience module .Had to get a replacement

    Multitronic gearbox advice needed please

    Never heard of a sealed box on an Audi although the Tiptronic is not supposed to need servicing.Still got mine done though its not a lot to pay and I couldn't see how the ATF would last forever.I think most would look for regular changes on a multitronic as a must

    Brake Pad Warning Light

    The false warning is a nuisance .Just bridged the sockets on the pads with a piece of a paperclip and taped over.You get a lot more wear out of the pads and its simple to look at them through the wheel and check the wear .I think the light is now a MOT failure now which is daft if the pads have...

    A4 Avant 2.0TDI CVT 2005

    Audi should have records for when they did it but unless you have evidence of up to date gearbox service I would be careful and give it a good test.Even if it checks out It should have an ATF change.You cant be too careful with these . repairs are expensive

    Heater matrix deep clean

    That seems to be a good idea.I put some in my central heating a few years ago and its kept the old boiler quiet since

    Heater matrix removal

    I have read that its tricky to remove but don't know details.Also heard that some have cleared it with reverse hot flushing

    Heater matrix removal

    The stat seems to be the priority.Sounds like its failed and I would leave the matrix to last and only change that if the new stat doesn't fix it.I think cleaning it is not an option cos its the fine pipes that can block and I assume it wont be easy to remove being buried in the bulkhead

    Different engine warm up times

    Something is wrong my guess would be the stat.My 2.5tdi is as quick as any to warm up and as good as the 1.9 which preceeded it

    TDI tuning box advice

    Don't bother.I tried 2 on my 2.5tdi and maybe made a slight difference but both failed causing loss of power on the move

    Oil Question

    I would only add longlife to longlife and prefer not to use it anyway.TPS Quantum good enough for me and top up with like for like

    New to Audi A4 life (but know the pain of classic Audi ownership)

    Welcome.The pad light is a wire best overcome by disconnecting plug on hub and shorting circuit.I used a paper clip pushed in the holes and then taping over.There maybe one on both sides.My TT hood has staining but I have given up cleaning them cos it doesn't seem to work. Sorry no ideas about...

    Previous TT owners now B7.

    I got a Roadster 2 years ago so was great in the sun last year and this so far.They don't seem to date and are well made.The 1.8 can suffer pick up pipe problems so best to get one not on longlife and maybe even do a clean up with the sump off if its going to stay.They are holding their value...

    2.5 tdi V6 who should I get to do the belt?

    No doubt Audi would do a proper job but £925 is prohibitive so it would be interesting if you find a subsidised quote.Cant see why they would want to give a lot away though

    2.5 tdi V6 who should I get to do the belt?

    This is becoming a bit of a dilemma.My 04 was done over 5 years ago by a clever man in London and has run well ever since.He charged about £500 and included new pump and stat and all belts.We drove up from Southampton cos he had such a good reputation and it was hard to find a capable man at a...
