Some ideas for the common faults
These are just jottings really, but it may prompt the watchful public to remind us of where info about the problems already pre exists before we re-invent the wheel by retyping it all. We'll expand and document this as time goes on.
So: common faults that we've seen through part requests over the last 18 months: Front ABS sensors failing Rear handbrake mechanism seizing Gearboxes Wet carpets from blocked HVAC drain Wet carpets from blocked bulkhead drains Airbag warning light due to 'passenger seat occupancy sensor' PDC sensors Faulty LCD digits on some 1999/2000 facelift cars Sunroof controls / motor failing or causing random openings Climate module bulb failures (pre facelift) Broken rear electric aerials Snapped armrests (pre facelift) Stalling coming upto junctions (mainly pre face 4.2 ABZ breather pipes) Fuel pump failure Loss of lower front bumper grills Loss of small trims off front wings (usually N/S due to puddles) Failing autodipping exterior mirror glass (it goes bronzey and ulitmately useless) Lugs snapping on the carpetted boot divider above the battery Oil leak from final drive seal on gearbox onto left hand catalyst Wearing front suspension arms Rear quickclear screen not heating 'cold weather' fuel leak problem Clicking flap motors on facelift HVAC Any more anyone? |

", but forgot about the dodgy headrests - nice one +++ |
Aaaaaaah, so there isn't a cunning german time bomb in my dash then when I switch on the screen vents?
Can't wait to see a solution, it does rather spoil the waft on cold mornings. Bill |
Rocker/cam cover gaskets leaking.

I'd suggest front diff seal leaking, both of my cars have had that

You mention here: http://www.tyresmoke.net/forum/audi-...s-experts.html "1) Heater potentiometer under passenger footwell no doubt. I guess you have a face lift car >1998 as this is a common problem. £400 from Audi to fix, but can be done DIY for sub £30 and an hour or so in effort" Can you expand on this and let me know the parts that are needed? I too would like to remove the ticking german bomb referred to above :) Cheers B |

Was there any sort of guide to this as I have this issue? |
intermitent / failed cruise control.
nobody's told me how to disassemble the cruise stalk yet..... and RNS-D nav disc intermittently failing to read - common problem I understand Zip |
