Re: Ask me anything about Audis!
Hey
I have a 2003 A4 1.8t. not much pressure coming from my windshield washer pump. Took a pump from the wreckers. It was a pump for the headlights washer. Can I used it for the windshield pump instead.

Re: Ask me anything about Audis!
Hello, I have an 02 Audi A4 Quattro, withe 201k on it, 1.8t. I have been doing work to the body and mechanical components, I changed the timing belt,adjuster and water pump, J-plug. I had the anti freeze drained and refilled when water pump was replaced, but had to drain it again to replace J-plug when it started leaking. With that said I have not driven the car on the road yet but have had the engine warmed up to normal operating temp. When at idle there seems to be little or no heat coming from defroster or heat vents until you speed up the engine, after the RPM is raised even just a little there is plenty of heat. I checked the coolant level and did add a little but I don't think it was down far enough to effect the heat. Do you have any suggestions as what might be the cause , could there be air in the system somewhere, i bled the system as per instructions or what is your thoughts on this? Thanks in advance, Norman.

Hi:
I own a 2011 A4 Quarto. I stored the car in my garage for the winter. When starting up this spring the battery was low so I serviced the battery by adding deionized water to all 6 cells which were about half full. No wires or cables were removed from the battery during the servicing. I then hooked up the battery tender to charge the battery. After a few minutes I NOTICED I had SOMEHOW reversed the polarity on the charger (positive to negative etc!!!
This is the situation now -
1. No electrical systems are functional.
2. on the instrument cluster the Traction Control, FPC, Seat Belts, ABS, and E brake lights are permanently on.
Questions -
1. Have I caused damage to the electrical system
2. Have I caused fuses to blow?
3. Is there a reset procedure I have to follow to reactivate the system?
4. Or is a flat bed CRA ride to the Audi Shop and an expensive repair in the cards?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

If you have not done so , replace the battery ,the battery cables will be disconnected from the battery during this process and the system should reset itself. If not some testing will be required.
