Merry Christmas and Happy New Year too everyone in the Audi ownersclub.com.

Hi Niedzial, is yours 3 ltr !, don' know if that makes any difference, either way I've never heard them in previous cars so getting replacement.

Yes they are a good garage unless like me you have your cambelt kit and water pump done and pick up your car in the dark , drive down the road and wander why people are flashing you?. You park your car in front of a walk and realise that your headlights are like Camileon eyes!!!!. All sorted next day😯😯

Hi Trevor, thanks for your reply, I think I'll just get in done after Xmas as it's about £230 fitted by VAS at Holton heath. I'm aware its' under the rear seat and it's probably noisier due to the cold spell also. Happy Christmas to you and all the other fellow members A6 or otherwise. 👍👍

Good morning Steve, cheers for the response. It was more of a" has anyone else had this problem " or can anyone hear their fuel pump whislt stationary? .

Good evening boys n girls, on Tuesday I had a service, cambelt/waterpump kit and inspection by my local VAG Indy and they advised that my Fuel pump was noisy! !, ok so it has made a wine/ murmur since I've had it , you can hear it behind the drivers seat when the stereo isn' on but hasn't in my opinion got more noisy! !!! any ideas? should I have it replaced or leave it and if it does pack up will it cause issues with my fuel system pre filter??.Answers on a post card 😀😀

Hi Tofferton 78, welcome to the Audiownersclub.com, sadly you are part of a long list of owners that have and are having a bad deal with your Audi . It does seem to appear that the 1.6 tdi is more likely to be affected in a negative way! Have you contacted Audi uk and especially their EA189 team dedicated to dealing with these issues,remember DON'T take NO for and answer . If your Audi has full Audi service history which I guess it does they will see it from the computer it has no history of problems , also you should have received a letter stating 24 months warranty on most of the parts you have mentioned regarding this update . Keep pushing HARD! And hopefully you should get results. Once they have replaced the poorly parts have a remap and start enjoying your Audi again.

Couldn't agree more Paul , £10 for access to all that and among like minded folk's too. I'm sure we will all have another great day.

Nice one Steve, some may drop out last minute. . ..........! Good news all the same..

Ok, that's posted on the A6 group !!!.

That's what we like to hear , thinking out of the box. More people , more coverage, more members. Win win. Fingers crossed. There are some hardcore Audi owners full of passion for their Das Auto in that group

Hi Steve, I'll ping a message then. New members may materialise

Oh yes, I can try and increase numbers on the A6 group I tap into occasionally if all are ok with this.

Good evening gentlemen and gentlewoman , i'm in for this one and my daughter again, happy days, it's just up the road too so none of the 04:30-05:00 road journey.

It would appear that if Audi just applied a stage 1 remap to all affected vehicles post update that would save them huge sums of cash for little outlay in the outset.👍👍

Do I take the plunge! !! A stage 1 remap, and which company???? Revo/Celtic/ ??? , their are just too many to know which is gonna be good for my engine's health and my bank balance! ! Rolling road? is this a must to fine tune things during the upgrade? A box would be a good investment but only for that car?? . Answers on a post card if you please. Oh and I'm in Bournemouth .

Very sorry to hear you are experiencing problems with this EA189 update. Did you agree to the update and can you show Audi that you have experienced no problems prior to the update, service history and work carried out? etc. If so then accept only that THEIR own work has caused this and they are according to their letter responsible for correcting this. The letter you are referring to is somewhere in this EA189 subject under this title is believe. I hope this helps.

Quick search on line should do it , mines 2kg but it doesn't need to be that big 1 kgs is ample. Dam site easier to mount somewhere. .

One picture of today's fun.

Hi again Paul , I carry one because some yrs ago I luckily had one in my 205 gti which helped out someone, which is why I still carry one. I think Halfords only sell powder which if used will put out the fire granted but wreck your car in the process. I've got Foam or Cream coloured extinguisher which won't wreck your car too much . You'll hopefully never need it mind!!.

Indeed , likewise Paul . Good day . Great spread of Audi's from the early beginnings to today.

Well that was a great day at Castle Combe, many thanks to all for making my daughter feel welcome today and for your nice comments regarding my A6 Le mans Avant. Pictures to follow .

Autoglym for me.

Washed , chamois, Extra resin polish, Extra gloss top coat , done by 14.30 ..... then it rained. Looked on in disbelief. ....

I thought I'd tease a little !!!
