The reason I ask is because suddenly after changing solenoid/actuator my petrol consumption has dropped considerably.

Thanks I have ordered a cam sensor. Waiting for it I will keep you posted. If I change components such as cam adjuster valve will the software need recalibrating?
-
Thanks for the reply. Do you think it is possible the cam adjuster has been assembled a tooth out? I am not a mechanic, just thinking logically. I thought if the cam position sensor is faulty all sorts of problems would arise. I guess for the small amount it costs I should change it.

Hi I am having continuing problems with my camshaft timing. A mechanic friend changed the cambelt and cam chain for me and ever since I have an EM light fault saying cam advanced. He checked everything he had done. We have installed a new cam adjuster, I have just fitted a new solenoid/adjuster valve and still the EM light comes on. We have run out of ideas. I haven’t changed the cam position sensor but I would expect all sorts of other problems if it was that. HELP

I have just purchased a Bluetooth adapter from eBay, it connects to the CD auto changer socket. I have just had my friendly mechanic program the radio to have an auto changer but it still doesn’t work. The Bluetooth connects to my phone but I cannot select the auto changer to play music. Somehow the radio does not recognise the device.
-
I connected the device as specified by the manufacturer. That is, a blue connector which I believe is the CD auto changer. However I need to tell the car that it has a CD changer via programming. A mechanic I use is going to plug into it on Thursday. I will keep you posted.

Ok. Read and understood

Hi I have purchased and fitted a similar device and connected via Bluetooth but I have no way to start playing. If I select CD it simply says No Disc

Hi guys I have just purchased and installed a Bluetooth adapter to my A4 B7 Concert radio. I can see the Bluetooth transmitting and can connect my iPhone to it. I cannot select it from the radio. I assume it emulates being a CD multi changer but if I select CD it just says no disc. Do you think that somewhere, maybe VCDS, I have to tell the car it has a multi changer? Lost at the moment. Waiting for reply from supplier. Any help would be appreciated.
-
Thanks. Yes, I have been looking at similar things since I posted. I was also concerned about disconnecting the radio without a code but am now familiar with the process.

Hi I have an A4 B7 with a Concert radio. I don’t want to change it for something that looks out of place but I want to play music from my iPhone and retain the steering wheel controls. Any ideas?

Hi Steve Q Finally got the car back today. Not sure what the part is called but it is a round housing with a gear which moves the timing chain through oil pressure and therefore the cam timing. Although the car has only done 75000 mls it is quite old so I guess new chain and cambelt just disturbed it. Anyway, ok now. The mechanic I take it to is a really good guy. Hasn’t charged me any more than the original job. After we are sure it is ok I will offer him at least the part cost.
-
Ok, thanks

Hi Is it possible to switch off auto windscreen wipers on my A4 B7? I have had several different cars with auto wipers and none of them work. Either one wipe every three days or ten every second, well a slight exaggeration but you know what I mean. I guess the sensor is in the back of the mirror housing. What if I tape over it.
-
Sounds like a suspension top mount bearing I had the same on my A2.
-
Had a phone call Friday. They cannot find the problem. He has ordered a second cam chain kit because he thinks the first replacement is faulty. only other thing left is the cam position sensor. I will keep you posted.
-
Thanks. I am taking it back today. The car drives fine. I would have expected it to be lumpy or difficult to start.
-
Hi I am a new member. I have just had timing chain and cambelt changed on my 2006 plate 2.0FSI Quattro and now I have this error. P0011. I have a cheapy OBD reader that says it is something to do with the cam timing. Can anyone add any useful information? I will take the car back to the mechanic but just wondering if anybody else has had this.

Hi guys I have just purchased an A4 Quattro, 06 plate low mileage, does anyone know an independent Audi specialist in the North Surrey area? Thanks
-
Ok. Understood
