  1. Just gone to replace springs on the bargain Audi A4 Avant and cant find the locking nut. Also daughters old fabia one is missing and all the previous ones have had on a variety of cars have gone with the cars 😞 located in Knottingley, West Yorkshire and dont mind travelling a bit to get it sorted. If I can nick yours and order a replacement from ebay its just I cant wait till Thu/Fri as its supposed to be going back in for the MOT tuesday. its the 15 spline ones like pictured so this on ebay
  2. symptoms with cam were different last time. was smoking under load. This appeared to "happen" when she was driving, slowed to take a corner and then when accelerating away behaviour started going to try cold start tomorrow to see if its same issue when cold. also need to try MAF disconnected too
  3. OK, my daughter just pulled up and complained her Fabia is not right. took it for a spin around the block but only got around the corner and its not drivable. seems to be a misfire as no power and if you try accelerating it gets worse and car seems to hesitate really bad. (cant get over 10MPH) also if you press throttle to try and accelerate it starts a ticking/knocking sound and feels really rough. managed to crawl back around the corner and get it on the drive. I have scanned codes and there are none other than intermittent EGR which is always about so its not registering a misfire or injector electrical fault which would point at the loom, but not sure if the 1.4 does register misfire? I know the 4 cyl PD does its previously had cam lobes replaced and as far as I can tell there is nothing coming out the exhaust like oil/water/etc lack of codes doesn't help but appreciate any pointers I can work through as till its back running she has to "borrow" my A4 avant and i might never get it back
  4. So a question to those that have done it in a camper. What size camper, what time of year and how was the driving? Planning a trip in April so hoping to avoid mad crowds and have experience of driving the highlands as far north as the tip of syke and ive done the Argyll coast road from loch lomond all the way round to ballachulish. Have to do it in a camper for the dog but need to know if a mid sized camper not a transporter with a bed is going to be hard work..
  5. just an update, the wiring to for the smaller ECU connector was full of water, ECU itself bone dry inside and the ECU box in the plenum was not showing any signs of having been flooded but the cable took 2 days of shaking and wicking and spraying to dry it out. wonderful Audi design strikes again.. no wonder the engine was flakey as!!!
  6. Ok for future reference for anyone with same questions: I had cheap kkl cable off ebay. Used this in conjunction with vag k+can commander 2.5 setting it to k-line and it read the eeprom and pin. Checked this pin by logging into the ecu ok using vcds. So rb4 ecu pin retrieved, although vcds is flakey connecting to this current ecu so either it or the ecu wiring is flakey. Given there is a crack in the ecu box cover it was a safe bet that there was water somewhere now just need some time to get the ecu out and try the replacement to pull that pin and adapt to the car and see it comms to that one are also flakey or if it fixes the issue.
  7. I have picked up a 2004 a4 1.8t and from the symptoms I believe the ecu has suffered water ingress. I have a replacement and i need to get the pin or sky from the current ecu/cluster and from the donor ecu to be able to swap them over with vcds. I have tried various cables and vag eeprom programmer etc but not sure if the "no ecu found" is my laptop/cable/software or the car. So would apreciate help from someone that has a known working cable and app.. That CAN read ecu and cluster pins Beer tokens waiting..
  8. I am guessing this is a fairly major job due to the slave cylinder being inside the gearbox housing, but does anyone have the actual number of hours labour to expect and approx price for the clutch and slave cylinder kit? Symptoms I have are intermittent gear change stiff and something leaking off the of the casing ( think its hydraulic/brake fluid not oil) would take a guess that the clutch will need replacing due to contamination so just looking to work out rough costs..
  9. OK Nice condition Bolero unit fitted last night and seems to be all good. Dont have the phone bits but given they are trading @ £100+ I may have to wait for an ebay bargain. bitch of a job getting the unit to sit flush though as the cable loom is really stiff and not able to get it to wiggle into the free space so ended up with the glove box out to get access to tug it from the back. not the 5 minute job I thought it was going to be int he freezing cold
  10. Yes there is the door display in the middle of the cluster.
  11. does the bluetooth module come with the cable? as the ones I have looked at VAG on ebay seem to be just a module
  12. I Guess that the empty bit next to the blue plug would be for phone bits? Ariel but is this DAB too? I have no clue what this cable is for even after searching google images for anything GPS radio phone related???
  13. I posted this in the ice forum but its quiet there so posting here in the hope of getting some more footfall I have a 2011 scout which had a non coded "Audience" radio fitted. I have removed this as it was clearly the wrong one and my daughter needs one for her Fabia, I have steering wheel controls for Audio but not sure if these are used for phone as well if the option is fitted I am trying to work out what I need if I want OEM look with hands free phone integration. so these are the option codes on the car 8L5 ANT Roof antenna and "diversity" window antenna 8AG RAO Radio with CD/MP3 7Q0 NAV Without navigation device 8RM LSE 8 speakers (passive) 7A0 = Without CD changer/CD player 9W0 = without car phone preparation/installation So I guess 8AG is the standard Bolero unit without phone prep, oddly it doesn't mention the multifunction wheel? So if I wanted a OEM radio with phone kit what would I need??? Or are there better options out there for <£100???? Or would I be better going for one of the cheap chinese double din units
