Greetings Changed out plugs in 2010 Q5 and went to put back in the air filter housing on passagger side and noted the snorkel connection ( think this is a cold air supply) with lock collar will not go back on to the air filter box? Any suggestions / video folks? Thanks for your reply.

 

hey there,my 99 b5 ran out of coolant on the hwy. i got coolant then was able to drive it home. when i got hm, it doesn't start at all, even after a day, . the leak i is on the pass side, looks to be a line connected to something like a fuel rail. car is parked and i cant drive it. how do i repair it?

 

Please help!!! I was left a 2004 A6 but I can't start it and the immobilizer light is blinking it will start for a couple seconds then dies. I was told I need to have a locksmith come out and reprogram all the keys. Do I have any other options???

 

Hi,

Hope you are well. I have a 2007 Audi A6. For the last three week, I am facing a problem with my fuel gauge in my cluster. It's wobbling up and down. Even if I drove 200km on it, it shows I have a full tank of gas.

Even after driving 550km, It shows to be half tank with a range of 320/340 km on it. What can be a potential problem and how much do you think it might cost me to fix it?

Also I wanted to know what's a potential cost for changing water pumps on 07' Audi A6?

Thanks.
Mazhar

Hey MF, Just wanted to say thanks. We hadn't got to taking off the valve cover in this thread yet but I know it was coming. So I popped it off and the exhaust cam was shot. 2nd set of lobes completely gone. 3rd and 4th set of lobes had 1 lobe at 75% and 1 at about 90%. I got the car for a pretty good deal (1600) with the misfire problem and its fully loaded so I still wound up ok. Cousin is a mechanic and we found a cam set out of a 99 Passat 1.8T at the local junk yard for 65 bucks. Installed and good to go misfires gone and check engine light reset and hasn't been back on since. My last question for now would be what would cause the lobe wear like that? Oil seems to be getting up to the cam, could it have just been very poor maintenance before I got it?

Thanks again for your help and time,
Jesse

 

Sorry all...been away from this thread for a little bit but back to answering questions!

 

Hi flightmedic,

Hopefully you managed to get the connection back on the box but there isn't much too it either than insert and snap into place. They are a little fragile and with the heat from the motor become brittle but should seat into place without a lot of effort

 

Hi supple007,

You mentioned it ran out of coolant on the highway...was this due to a leak or blown hose? How much coolant did you have to top off ...was it a substantial amount? Did you drive with no coolant and if so, how long?

Common areas for leaks on the B5 1.8T are around the coolant flange, sometime around the turbo and the thermostat housing.

The concern with the no-start is due to an over-heated condition. Check for oil in the coolant and coolant in the oil...you may have warped the head and have a headgasket issue if the car overheated.

 

Hi Johntonyo,

You mentioned you were left the A6...did you by chance put a new battery into the car? If so, it will need to be registered and until it does, you will encounter such issues.

Secondly, do you have access to VAGCOM to scan for any immobilizer codes?

Finally, do you know the history of this car in terms of starting/immobilizer issues?
