Hi Garrett...welcome to the Forum. There are specialists in the UK that can carry out this sort of update but not sure about the US, although there must be a VW / Audi specialist somewhere? I would just carry on with the TomTom as would always stay updated with a quick download on the PC whereas you would have to be reliant on buying the updates from Audi on a constant basis at huge cost. Let us know how you progress with this Cheers Trevor

Your diagnostic port is tucked up under the dash...see link for photo http://www.wikiobd.co.uk/vehicle.php?vh=1019 It could well be the TPS failing which would give those exact symptoms. Keep us informed on how you progress with it. Cheers Trevor

Hi Mick...welcome to the Forum Engines should not use coolant if they do then you have a fault with the system, I would advise having a skilled mechanic pressure test the cooling system (including the pressure cap) to ascertain if there is a weak point somewhere. Let us know how you get on with it Cheers Trevor

As long as the oil level is correct .... you could drain and refill the engine with the correct quantity next time it needs an oil change (e.g. how much came out and measure the required quantity to go in the engine) then you'll now exactly that the oil level is correct.

Hi...and welcome to the Forum It sounds odd that the car doesn't start after fitting the parts, would be tempted to put the old parts back on and make sure the system is bled properly. If the fuel pressure sender is not reading pressure then it won't start so ensure that fuel is present in the rail and then see if other components are responding accordingly. What does the scanner report (e.g. fault codes, live data, etc) Cheers Trevor

Hi John...welcome to the Forum Not sure personally what the procedures are for updating the Satnav but here is a link that may shine some light on it Cheers Trevor

Hi Phil...welcome to the Forum Fire away with the problems and I'm sure someone can help? Cheers Trevor
-
Could only imagine that there is some air in the system....possibly a bleed point in the heater area?
-
Hi Kamlesh...welcome to the Forum Hope you find the answer in the A5 section Cheers Trevor
-
Are there one or two switches on the brake pedal?

Hi John...welcome to the Forum I would imagine that it would log a fault code in the ECU if there is some sort of misfire so may be worth getting it scanned for fault codes and go from there. let us know how you get on with this one. Cheers Trevor
-
Hi Michael...welcome to the Forum I don't believe it does illuminate from memory but it would probably be a case of removing the airbag to find out if there is a bulb within the switch. Let us know what you find Cheers Trevor
-
Hi Dean...welcome to the Forum I would go for a basic remap as if done properly can lead to better mpg and drivability. Let us know how you get on if you go this route Cheers Trevor

Hi Paul...welcome to the Forum You could try fitting an aftermarket lighting kit (see link) which would be cheaper and easier to fit I would think http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DRL-HQ-AUTOLIGHTING-CREE-EXTRA-BRIGHT-LIGHTS-AUTOSWITCH-E4-RL00-V10-A-/251873799372?hash=item3aa4d92ccc:g:OZ8AAOSwPhdU~tqL Cheers Trevor

Hi Elle...welcome to the Forum As Dmb10k has suggested, the coolant colour won't make any difference and as long as it is OAT and the right quantity then you shouldn't have any problem. Cheers Trevor
-
Have heard of this fault but I would also look at other possibilities and possibly scan the ECU to see if it has generated any fault codes for the blip
-
Certainly sounds like a great device to protect your pride and joy....keep us informed on how it's all going

It's never a wrong time...always get a sunny day in the winter when I take my convertibles out .... got to have the heater on and a wooly hat though!

Hi David It's in beautiful condition, you should have no problem selling it. Not sure of what it is worth, and think maybe the best way is to list it on eBay and see what offers come in but you can always remove it before the end if it doesn't reach the price you want. Let us know how you get on with the sale Cheers Trevor

Hi Edd Not good to find out you have been fleeced by this company...i assume it is this one I found a link for on the Police website http://www.west-midlands.police.uk/latest-news/news.aspx?id=5150 Have you got the car back now or is it still there? Cheers Trevor

haynes manual for 2004 a4 avant 2.5tdi quattro
Trevor replied to blancy's topic in Audi A4 (B6) Forum
I suppose it would be the same for most areas of the A4 but not specific to v6 or quattro variations. Alternatively, there is Elsawin which would definitely do the job http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Elsawin-v5-3-2016-Audi-Seat-Skoda-VW-Workshop-Service-Manual-/262715811930?hash=item3d2b15285a:g:TUQAAOSwmLlYA2vS -
Passenger Air Con Red Hot, can'the adjust :-(
Trevor replied to Liber_A4_te's topic in Audi A4 (B8) Forum
Hi Phil....welcome to the Forum It sounds like it could be a diverter valve on the passenger side not switching over to cold. Maybe try switching it over and back several times to see if the valve starts to move, if not then not sure if there is any way to check it without physically inspecting it. You may be able to control it through a diagnostic platform if it is within the programme settings. Let us know what you find with it Cheers Trevor -
Hi...and welcome to the Forum supreme diesel is always better to run through the engine but obviously costs a lot more. The claims are that you receive better mpg so that may offset the cost. let us know what you decide and if you think it makes a difference. Cheers Trevor

Audi A6: loss of turbo power after oil sump damage
Trevor replied to Chatillon's topic in Audi A6 (C5) Forum
Hi Cathy...welcome to the Forum Roadworks in France...that's virtually unheard of over there surely? If the oil was virtually empty then engine damage or in particular turbo damage could have occurred. The alternative is that a turbo hose may not have been refitted correctly during reassembly (assuming any turbo to intercooler hoses were removed to access the sump). I would have thought that an engine management warning lamp would have come on for this sort of fault though. Let us know how you get on with it Cheers Trevor -
Hi Martin...welcome to the Forum I cannot find anything specific to the synchronisation of the fob to the 2014 model car but this link may contain some information that may be relevant.
