    Many thanks again Steve, for passing this on, and I'm pleased that you too think this deserves to be aired in a prominent position (right at the top of the shop?) on the forum. 

    Many thanks also for your kind comments. I think the forum members are eager to help one another as best they can, and I often wish I knew far than I do, to sometimes offer better quidance, but I think we all try.

    Kind regards,

    Gareth.

     

    All sorted Gareth :) 

    after speaking to admin thy have now moved thebrecalls section further up the website. It should be a lot easier for new members to find :)

    cheers

    Your most welcome :) 

    il give you a shout once iv got any info on this to see where it can be placed :) 

    it is a very important topic which isn't going to go away for the VAG group any time soon. I think we could have another year to 18months of cars being called for the emissions update. 

    As iv worked in a Volkswagen service department I cannot stress enough that the ea189 is not compulsory and I advise members NOT to have it done. I know I wouldn't have it done if my car was affected! 

    I feel The risks are far too great. I saw plenty of Volkswagens requiring new egr/egr coolers and the worst case I saw was a car that would not start afterwards! 

    Oh and for any modified cars it's a no no as the computer is remapped but the mods can also affect the recall being carried out properly. 

    Again your very welcome :) I feel your advice and guidance should be recognised and thanked :) 

    your depth of knowledge of all things Audi is great to have! :) 

    i couldnt  agree more! Members on here are very helpful and I feel we a building a very friendly and helpful community of Audi owners :) 

    cheers

    Hello Steve,

    Many thanks for coming back on this and for your action to get this particular thread to the top of the Audi Recall topic. 

    What I actually meant, and probably didn't explain properly, was that I thought the whole vitally important topic of Audi Recalls deserved a position as near to the top- if not the top-  of the whole forum rather than about second from last as it is now.

    I just feel that anyone (particularly new) searching this forum would find it beneficial to see this right at the top - even before Intoductions - rather than tucked away inconspicuously near  the bottom. As much as its great to have a topic which allows new owners to introduce themselves, I think it's only fair to allow owners subject to recall requests to have readily found and easy access to the experiences of others, so they can form their own judgement. 

    Many thanks again Steve,

    Kind regards,

    Gareth.

    Your welcome Gareth, glad I could be of some help :) 

    unfortunately, I'm unable to move the recalls section but Il contact admin to see if we can get it moved. As you do raise a very good point and the ea189 is a hot topic right now. 

    Leave t with me and il see what I can do :) 

    Thanks again for all your advice and support Gareth :)

    cheers

    Hi Dave, 

    i would say the £85 sounds reasonable. As always just check the sellers feedback before committing to anything. Sorry if that sounds like I'm telling you how to suck eggs! 

    If you went to Audi they would want to replace the motor for a hell of a lot more money! 

    So this could be worth a shot. 

    Cheers

    A4 Suddenly has Starting Problems

    in Audi A4 (B6) Forum

    Welcome to the forum Phil :) 

    sorry to hear your having issues. 

    The simplest thing could be the glowplugs. When was the car last serviced? In failing that it could be the leads or injectors. 

    Hopefully some of the more experienced members will be able to advise further.

    cheers

    To Administrators and Moderators - again.

    I did suggest some weeks ago that this vitally important topic be moved to near the 'top of the shop' so it becomes readily and easily accessible, rather than being relegated to near the last of the topics.

    Nothing seems to have happened, and if that suggestion has indeed been considered and it has been decided that it does not warrant an upgraded position within the forum content , then I guess it will indeed stay where it is. 

    However, I think it would be progressive if someone in authority would at least reply to this suggestion - for or against.

    Kind regards,

    Gareth.

     

     

    Hey Gareth, 

    Sorry if you've not been replied to by any admin or moderator. I missed your suggestion previously and would have acted on it sooner if I had known.

    Then again iv not been a moderator long so may have been suggested before I was a moderator which would explain why iv missed it. 

    Anyway, it cannot be denied the importance of the information provided by members regarding the ea189 emissions recall and as such I have featured and pinned the topic. You should now find it at the top of the recalls section. 

    I also just want to add a big thank you for members providing the information on this topic and on other topics as the club can only function with friendly and helpful members :) 

    Also a personal thank you to you to Gareth as I know your always providing very good answers to some of the more complicated questions on here. It is greatly appreciated :) 

    Cheers

    Steve
