Re: Temp Warning Light
Andre,
I think you may have misunderstood me - actually, yes, you did. I was NOT
calling _YOU_ a moron. Rather, I directed the moniker at the person at Audi
SA who laughed at you - THAT person should have their head examined. As I
had also deleted your original post from my cache, so I apologise for my
"moronic" misunderstanding about the number of cylinders in the engine of
your car, but to the point: the parts guys at a local dealership will have a
better hand on the older models than a guy who is up on the latest and
greatest of the Audi line of products. If you go in to a parts counter and
ask for a water pump for a 10+ year old car, it's not like going into a
computer shop and asking for a casette tape drive for a Commodore VIC-20 -
they'll be able to get you the water pump for a 10+ year old car. The parts
department usually has a parts microfiche or computer program (ETKA) that
they use to look up the part numbers for the car. I suggest that you
contact Bentley and ask them for the Owner's Manual....not the repair
manual.......for your car - or if they can direct you to someone who can.
The Audi Club of SA is also a good direction to look.
Cheers!

Re: Temp Warning Light
forgot the car! <
yes the engine speed sensor usually helps the system create/send a spark to
the spark plugs.
If the computer does not get a signal from the ESS then it does not know
that the engine is revolving except if there is a distributor too with a
hall sensor in it. In some vehicles these two components have to be timed
properly in order for the engine to either run or run well.
