My car was driving fine but now its threw some fault codes and sometimes all the prnds come on together and the car feels like its pulling away in a high gear, i have looked on a few forums about this and cant seem to find an answer, if i turn off the ingnition and restart the car then most of the time its ok, any ideas where to start looking first, i forgot to mention this car has been standing for 2 years sunday log.txt

This is getting more confusing as there seems to be 3 different types of rear pads available for my car, is there any way to check what brake make system is used on my car? my car is a 2002 2.8 Quattro with the alloy rear calipers.

Hi, the movement on the pads is front to rear, some models have a spring to prevent the movement, i am starting to think that either the spring has fallen off or the previous owner put the wrong pads in, the reason i say this is because all the pads for my car should look nothing like the pads that are fitted in the calliper ?

I am gradually working through the problems with this 2002 Audi A8 D2 Quattro, and have an annoying problem with the drivers side rear brake pads rattling, I have taken the caliper off to check it and found that the pads have movement of around 8mm, im sure this is causing the problem, I cannot figure out why there is so much movement, I would have thought that there should be some anti rattle springs fitted or some sort of device to prevent the pads from moving, please see the picture of the type of pads fitted to the rear brakes of this car, any help or advice on this please.

I was checking the wiring in the ebox and found an electrical part loose and not fixed, can anyone tell me what it is and the location of where it should be fixed to, it was just in there flapping about

Thanks for your advice Gareth, I will give it a go at the weekend, no I didn't replace the battery it seems ok

I am having a few electrical problems on a 2002 A8 D2 2.8 Quattro that I have just bought, the car had been standing unused in a garage for over 2 years and the battery was flat, so the first problem was that the car was not changing gears correctly, and when pulling away it seems like its pulling away in 2nd or 3rd gear and all the PNRDS are showing on the dashboard at the same time, but sometimes its ok and works fine with just the D showing when put into drive, it then changes gear as it should, it seems to be getting better the more i use the car, the second problem is that there are no dashboard lights showing anywhere on the dash or cluster, I have checked the cluster fuse in the yellow bank of fuses which is a 15 amp fuse and that's ok, is there anywhere I can get an electrical diagram from for this car, and can anyone tell me if there is a comfort module fitted to this car, if so where is it located.

i just did a scan with vcds lite, and it did come up with a few fault codes, but i cant see anything related to the dash lights, one thong i did notice is that vcds is not communicating with the central convenience controller, im trying to work my way through these fault codes at the moment, this car has been stood for 2 years with a flat battery, ive cleared all the codes and will check later to see if they come back, i also had a fault code, the cd works ok, but the radio will not tune to any stations Control Module Part Number: 4D0 035 186 G Component and/or Version: concert II GRO D002 Software Coding: 00201 Work Shop Code: WSC 00000 VCID: 263F759BD1FF 1 Fault Found: 01042 - Control Module; Not Coded 35-00 - - Monday, 16 April 2018, 18:33:14.

I just bought this car and i am gradually going through a few jobs that need doing, so I have no cluster or dashboard lights on this car, I have checked the fuse and its ok, I have heard issues with some cars having flat batteries and when jump starting the dashboard lights don't come on any more, the previous owner did jump start the car, any ideas whats causing this. Its a 2002 D2 2.8 Quattro.

At last I found the fuse box, for future reference its located in the driver side pillar, but not under the carpet.

No i didn't, they look like some sort of air vents

yes it a weird one and i cant find any info about it on the net, so i think i will have to call Audi and ask them, nothing on ends of dashboard by the way

HI, thanks for that Steve, all that I can find there are relays, and a long flat black plastic tube that looks like it feeds the heating to the rear of the car, I cant see any plastic cover anywhere or the fuse box in this location ? John

can anyone tell me where the fuse box is located on a 2002 A8 2.8 Quattro, most of the other Audis ive owned have been at the right side of the dashboard end, its a right hand drive car Thanks

Well the car passed its mot ok, the problem was that the guy who tested it didn't get the engine hot and up to temperature, im picking it up this weekend from Reading and driving back to Leicester this week end on the motorway, so im hoping a 125 mile run will do it good, thanks for all your advice guys

Hi, I have just bought an Audi A8 2002 2.8 Quattro and it has failed its mot on Emissions, its been stood for 2 years and has only done 100 miles since its last mot in 2017, prior to that it passed straight through the last 6 mot's without any problems, this is what it says on the fail certificate, any ideas where to start looking first. Exhaust emissions Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits (7.3.D.3)

Anyone know where to buy headlights for a C5 at a decent price, I have seen a few aftermarket ones but I have no idea what the quality is like, any advice or recommendations would be welcome

Can someone tell me if there should be a light on the dashboard to show when the cruise is switched on, the cruise control is working ok, but on my Passat B5.5 a light shows on the dash when its on, I would have thought the A6 would be similar, if its a blown blub are they replaceable.

I'm trying to find out what type of bulb I need for the side light on my A6 C5 2003, the owners book is no good as it just says, please take it to Audi for bulb replacements, as I understand it might be a T5 type bulb??

Would anyone know if the clutch pedal assembly for an Audi s4 2002 would fit a 2002 a4 1.9 TDI as I'm thinking of taking it out and changing some parts

The cars done 145000 miles, I have no idea if it's ever had a new clutch, as the problem is not consistent I was thinking more on the master or slave cylinder, I would have thought any problems with the clutch would be consistent

No I didn't, I think the chimes is broken, never had so many problems with an Audi before john

I bought a 2002 Audi A4 b6 avant and it has a problem with the clutch pedal, it's very difficult to get it in gear when the engine is cold, you have to put it in gear before you start the engine then when changing gears it's like changing gear without depressing the clutch pedal, the pedal is more than half way to the floor as if the return spring has broken, when stationary in gear it slightly creeps forward, and the clutch is biting right off the floor, it seems like the slave rod needs extending to get more clearance, now here's the really weird bit, when the engine has warmed up the problem is not so bad it seems like there is more clearance, I've got a lot of experience working on cars over the years but never came across something like this by the way this is a 1.9 TDI pd engined car

I just bought a 2001 a4 2.5 tdi estate, I noticed that there is a problem with the display as quite a few pixels are missing, is there a new part available for repairing this if so is it a main dealer part, I've also got no reading on the engine temp gauge but I expect this is a separate issue, any advice and suggestions on this please.
