Hi guys/gals Trying to get my son out of the mire!! Where is the jack and wheelbrace normally housed, he claims he hasn't got one! Flat tyre car going nowhere, any sensible suggestions as to where to buy suitable new or second hand ones. Where are the jacking points on this car for a trolley...

Please bear with me. I'm sorry if this is long. 2000 A4---1.8T---77K miles: Note, I am trying to fix an A/C system so I can sell my car. $1400 to replace the evaporator is just nuts at this point. There is a leak in the A/C system that both my mechanic and dealership have concluded must be...

I assume, perhaps incorrectly, a 110v alternator. What is the easiest way to measure current & voltage output from the alternator, please ? Thank you, Courtney

I'm wondering if anyone has had this problem. My new (to me) 2004 allroad with 52000 miles just stalled. As I stopped at a stop light I heard a thunk. When the light turned green I realized the car had stalled. The car wouldn't start back up until I finally removed the key from the ignition in...

I am not familiar with Audi's and I stumbled on this car by an individual who doesn't have the space for it anymore. Here's the problem: Although extremely cheap, the car has been sitting for 4 years. He thought it might be a problem with the ECU but when I put a new ECU in (I bought same model #...

I wonder if someone can help me, i have an Audi A6 avant, 2002 1.9 tdi 130. Whilst towing our caravan today, after 2 hours the aircon stopped. After this happend i turned off the fan.When we got back home i left the car for a few hours, hoping that something might reset itself, but however i was...

Hi, I'm in the UK and have changed my car insurance company and the new insurer is insisting I have a Thatcham Category 2 immobiliser on my car. I have a 2003 A4 - can anyone advise what Thatcham category the standard immobiliser is on the A4? I think it is at least a category 2 but need to be...

In my 97 A6Q, the power door lock pump has failed. Does anybody know where it is located in my car? I would like to try pulling it and see if I can get it going. Thanks.

Hi, Just had a very weird thing happen with my A4 1.8T - just coming off a roundabout into a garage and braking for the car in front of me and all of a sudden the engine isn't running, no warning or any lurch etc just the steering wheel losing power and the lights on the dash lit up. I have...

I only notice this when the CD player is off - but the climate control section of the dash seems to be emitting a buzzing sound sometimes. Is there perchance a fan in there drawing air over the temperature sensor or something? I'm thinking that maybe this probably-mythical fan has worn bearings and...

How many miles can be on a car for it still to sold as "new"? (I live in California, if that makes a difference.) I am looking at a new A3 with 55 miles already on the odometer. This is at a big dealership, and so I assume new cars are delivered directly to their doorstep. So is the 55 miles...

Hello All. This is the first time I have posted here, and I do so disapointed. I recently went for a test drive in a new A3, 2 litre TDI, DSG (only 443 miles on the clock). We were 3 up, and found that the ride very poor. On the straight on a motorway standard road it was fine but on town roads...

Do you ever wonder what all that oil money buys? Check out this link about Dubai. http://www.skyscraperpicture.com/dubai.htm In 2008, the Burj Dubai will be opening, making it the tallest building in the world. I must admit, it's impressive! Jim...

The shocks (inserts) are shot in my '93 Audi CD100. I know you can buy just the insert gas cyclinders (shocks) but is this something a home mechanic can replace? I have replaced regular shocks and other items and am mechanically competent....just don't want to get in over my head. Thanks for any...

Im trying to find out what my problem is here, before spending another 200 bucks just for the shop to replace brake pads. First of all, the car had been sitting for a long time. I was having problems with the alternator not lining up and therefore it was going through v-belts every 10 miles or...

I have a 1997 A4, and have been offered some alloys from a 2002 A4. Both sets of wheels are 15" and carry 195 65 15 tyres, Does anyone know if the P.C.D. of the wheel bolts is the same?

So, my car idles a little roughly, not too bad, but I really would like to smooth it out. It's got 99,100 miles on it (98.5 A4Q 2.8 for those who didn't read the Subject header), and I put in a quart of a valve and injector cleaner recommended by my independent shop recently (went through a tank...

Hi All, I have a 1998 Audi A4. My AC is not working and this is an issue with the temperatures reaching 90 F. I have read several forums that lead me to believe that I can replace / reshim just the clutch. Does someone have some pictures of where the compressor is in the Audi A4 1998? Is it...

I lost my ignition key to my 1988 Audi, (recently acquired as a used vehicle) and I am seeking information on how to replace the key. Does this begin with a call to the Audi dealer? Or a locksmith? ANY information will be helpful. Thanks in advance.
