Thanks very much, you're a great asset to the forum! 8V0419091J (steering wheel...note this one has DSG paddles...our local Audi dealership does not have the PN number as yet for a wheel without DSG but we are waiting on them to get back to us with it) 1K0959653D (slip ring) 8V0880201N (air bag) 8J0971589F (wiring harness for MF/airbag) At the moment, we are not set up to sell parts but it is something we are considering :(. You are going from a dual stage to single stage airbag deployment system...in addition, there is modification needed to the wiring harness and steering control module. Because of safety/liability, with this particular mod, it would be something we would dissuade a customer from doing. Any modifications to the safety system are a red flag...especially if the airbag was not to deploy in the event of an accident |

This past monday after the car sat for 1 week after returning from a trip car had 103000 k . Happened on initial start up shut it down and restarted a couple of times and noise gone and runs fine . No CEL either time but definite lack of throttle response when I blipped it a couple of times which tells me valves where not opening fully . Lifter issue ?
From experience, those motors have HPFP issues and its possible yours has thoroughly worn out. Again, it seems to work after a couple restarts (building up pressure)...if I understand the situation correctly here. I'd like to extend an invitation to swing by and we can take a look to figure out whats going...no obligation. |

Attachment 10924 thanks Nothing to worry about it...the snow is just melting faster on those spots because there is insulation under the metal skin. The temperature differential is causing those weird looking spots. Unless someone out there is playing a prank? :p |

According to the parts catalog: 8V0419091S is "multifunct. sports strng wheel. multifunct. sports strng wheel; (leather perforated); for vehicles with tiptronic; chassis code PR-2PK" 8K0880201AE (without the 6PS2) is "airbag unit for steering wheel. airbag unit for steering wheel; ** only order for **; ** immediate installation **; chassis code PR-1XW,1XX,; 2PF,2PK" The harness that matches the seller's airbag is 8U0971589J. Can you ask the seller if that harness is included? If they are selling the wheel and airbag as fitted...it should be included. The MMI ribbon for the seller's steering wheel is 8U0971589A...ask the seller if that is included? The MMI ribbon from your RS4 wheel is 4F0971589B. It visually looks the same as 8U0971589A but that does not mean it is 100% compatible. If the harness is included, then its just a matter finding out the pin outs and modding them if necessary. |

Do I really need to have the head machined flat before replacing? If the head gasket popped, its good practice and a preventative measure to have the head machined. Any machine shop that knows their stuff would be able to tell you if there are warpage/fractures on your head. Also, get whomever is doing your work to retorque the head after a couple heating/cooling cycles. |

Re: Ask me anything about Audis!
MotorFabrik,
2003 A4 1.8T Quattro Sedan, 5-Spd manual, 198,000Km I have an annoying coolant smell and low heat. Initially low heat so I flushed heater core (both sides), changed thermostat, J-Plug and reservoir cap with OEM parts. Also refilled with OEM G12 and distilled water. Timing belt, water pump and coolant flange at the rear of the head was changed before I bought the car a couple of years ago. Bled the system over and over again using the upper heater core hose (highest point of the system) with the little hole in the hose. This should be the proper way to bleed it. Heat is a little better but still not hot. Noticed center vents cooler than side vents. Also in the summer with AC, the center vents are warmer than the outer vents. Could this be the temp mix flaps? After all of that, I'm noticing a coolant smell from under the hood. Pressure tested it but can't find any leaks and can't pinpoint the location of the smell. Also coolant level remains constant. Just last week, engine light came on and VAG says DTC 16502-Coolant Temp Sensor 1, Cct High, Lower limit not reached. Also noticed that the rads fans run on high as soon as start the car from cold but goes operates normally once up to operating temps. Possible G62 CTS in the back of the head? Car not overheating and temp guage is in the middle (90), where it should be. BTW, do you have an alignment machine? |

Car not overheating and temp guage is in the middle (90), where it should be. BTW, do you have an alignment machine? If you have access to VAGCOM, is it possible to do a fan speed output test for the high/low? I ask because the fans spin as soon as you turn on the car. It could be an indication of a faulty thermo switch on the rad (which controls the fan)...in addition to a faulty CTS as the CEL indicates. You're correct with respect to the bleeding procedure. To rule out the flaps, there is an actuator test that you can conduct through VAGCOM to see if they are operating within spec. However, I have a feeling it is the core itself...sulfur/calcium can build up to a point where even repeated flushes (including with CLR) doesn't help and the cause of the restriction. Do you smell coolant in the cabin with the heat turned on? Or is just in/around the engine bay? We do not currently have an alignment machine :(...but we are looking at opening another location with the space for doing alignment and corner weights. |
Re: Ask me anything about Audis!
I do have access to VAGCOM but not too familiar with it's capabilities yet but I have used that actuator procedure on my flaps but produced the same results and no errors. The reason I'm thinking it's the flaps is because of the temp difference with the AC as well as the heat between the outer and center vents. You could be correct, but without digging further into it by removing the motor control from the mix flap and physically moving the flap from one extreme to the other and comparing the movement with the motor attached, there's no way to prove it.
As far as the heater core is concerned, I may have to agree with you although the water flow through it when I was flushing it from both ends didn't indicate any restrictions within the core itself. This is why I don't suspect the core and looking at the checking the flaps once it gets warmer outside and I can take my time with it in the driveway. The smell is definitely coming from under the hood. I don't notice or even forget at times that I have the smell until I step out of the car. Only then I get a whiff of the sweet smell. Regarding the alignment, are you familiar with the B5/B6 chassis' special procedure and using the VAG1925 jig for toe curve adjustments? No one (including the dealerships) has this jig and adapters which is why I bought one from Germany. But some alignment shops that I went to don't understand it and vehemently insists that it's utter nonsense or unecessary. Thanks for the input MF. You're doing everyone a great service. :-) |

You're doing everyone a great service. :-) If it was hot on say the centre and nothing on the outer (or vice versa, nothing on the centre and hot on the outer)...I would say it could be flap related. In addition, your VAGCOM output test showed the flaps to be working. If I read your first post correctly...you have heat but its low and somewhat of a temperature difference between the vents but not a total absence of heat from one set of vents? You don't hear a ticking or clicking noise from the blower motor do you? Although water is flowing, that doesn't necessarily mean its totally non-restricted. When you flushed it did a lot of gunk come out by any chance? Regarding the smell, its possible that the coolant flange is leaking/sweating again and the residual is burning, creating the slight smell. If you want, let us know and we can lift it to inspect...no obligation. Our head tech has used that special jig and you're right, its not a very common tool...especially in North America. The procedure itself is not difficult. Its definitely not utter nonsense but a good shop can bring the alignment to within spec without necessarily using the jig/adapters. |
Re: Ask me anything about Audis!
Hi MF, you are correct that there's not a total absence of heat in the center vents, just temp difference. At times there is flap motor whirl and ticking back and forth but it seems like the computer is trying to re-align the flaps, but there are no blower motor noises which is a good thing :-)
When I flushed the HC, there were no indication of gunk or other nasty stuff coming out, except that the coolant was more brown in colour. I kinda suspect that it may be that flange but it's very hard to see anything around that area. I do want to pay you guys a visit in the near future so that is in the plans. I know that most shops can get the regular toe adjustment right but only under the assumtion that it was knocked out of alignment or a change in a suspension component or two. I have changed the out the leaky rack as well as replaced all the front control arms and outer tie rods with the 10 pc. Meyle HD kit. I have also swapped my 1BA springs to 1BE and new Bilstein shocks. Essentially the whole front end is new. The regular toe adjustment may be correct but the toe curve adjustment has never been set and is just arbitrary at this point. I find that since I did all that work on the front end, the car doesn't behave as neutral as it did before the work. It used to make me smile every time I drive it. It used to track nice on the highway, return to center nicely and doesn't follow ruts in the road, etc. Now, it tracks like it's possessed, doesn't center that well and I'm getting bump steer from the front end. This is very frustrating after spending all this $$$. This after 3 different 3D laser alignments at two reputable shops. Don't get me wrong, it's very tight, very toss-able and there's no suspension noises but the feeling is gone and I'm at a loss. Thanks. |

By any chance, did they have their windshield replaced? If so, were the rain senors included on the replacement? Also, check for any obstruction over the senors..dirt/grime etc. If you would like, come by and we can VAGCOM the sensors and see if they are operating within spec...no charge/obligation! We are located at 750 Oakdale Road, Unit 22, 400/Finch. Website is motorfabrik.ca By the way, have you had any battery/alternator issues with the RS4? As for the rs4, no issues. Had a knock sensor go bad and a leaky matter cylinder (both replaced under warranty) and that's it in 5 years. |

Re: Ask me anything about Audis!
i have a 2002 A4 quattro 1.8 turbo
what would be a good brand name that makes a K04 turbo and also i was thinking of a baileys or forge BOV. and what are major signs of turbo failure.. i was looking at the turbo when doing timing belt and their is very minimal play on the intake side of the turbo but 1 mm is like one mile in i turbo i understand...And minimal oil in the inter-cooler system but when accelerating the boost fluctuates... so is it possible my turbine in the turbo is hitting the sidewall causing it to stop/slow down and have to re-boost. and if so im guessing i need a new turbo or rebuild existing turbo. sorry this is so long i have so many questions...lol Thanks Brandon |
Re: Ask me anything about Audis!
Hello,
I have a 2000 A4 1.8T FWD (I wish it was Quattro) and I need the starter replaced. I was just wondering if you knew what the brand (and part # if possible) is that makes the original part (OEM I think it is)? I have looked everywhere online and have not found an answer, so I am here. If you could get back that would be awesome! Thanks, Dev P.S. What you are doing here is just great |

I wasn't aware the extent of work you had done to the front end...its essentially entirely new. I understand what you mean by the 'feeling' is gone...its that very specific Audi feeling and won't be replicated unless its back to factory settings using that jig. If we had an alignment rack, we'd try and get it back even if it took the whole day. Check your PM |

Regarding the alternator, was just asking out of curiosity. Audi shoehorned that motor into that engine bay and we've seen the heat cook alternators...leading to starting/charging/electric issues. |

Instead of going down the k04 path, have you thought about the GT Garrett turbos? Just a heads up, once you start upgrading turbos...its a dangerous road :p. Next up, bigger injectors, intake, intercooler, software etc etc...it becomes very addicting lol. Regarding the BOV, theres always been a debate if using one will harm your motor over the long term. Both Forge and HKS make good BOVs...however, some guys will use a hybrid (BOV/DV) system...makes that whoosh sounds and retains some of the stock functionality. Major signs of turbo failure include little to no boost, excessive whining/metal on metal grinding sounds, leaks, bluish smoke coming out of the tailpipe. A spinning turbine would chew away at the housing...it wouldn't hit the side and then stop. The on and off boost youre experiencing could be related to possible wastegate issues, previous misfires or even a blocked cat causing a restriction. If there is no obvious signs of a bad turbo, there is something around it thats causing it to spin up and down. |

Re: Ask me anything about Audis!
Hello MF,
Can you tell me if it is ok to use a thermostat with a lower heat rating on my 98 Audi A6 30v 2.8L? I ordered a Beck/Arnley but the temperature on it is 176 degrees F. I believe the original is 195 degrees. Will this cause a problem for a 98 Audi? I don't drive it in Winter months. Also I bought NGK platinum plugs(BKR6EGP). The plugs I took out have two prongs for the tip to spark. Will I be ok with the single style? Thanks in advance. Mark |

Can you tell me if it is ok to use a thermostat with a lower heat rating on my 98 Audi A6 30v 2.8L? I ordered a Beck/Arnley but the temperature on it is 176 degrees F. I believe the original is 195 degrees. Will this cause a problem for a 98 Audi? I don't drive it in Winter months. Also I bought NGK platinum plugs(BKR6EGP). The plugs I took out have two prongs for the tip to spark. Will I be ok with the single style? Thanks in advance. Mark The OE thermostat for your car is Hella or Behr PN# 078121113F and states 87 degrees C. They are available online anywhere from 15-25$. I can't imagine the Beck Arnley as much cheaper. Stick with the OE part. Also, dont forget to put in the new o-ring! The single style will be fine and just for reference, the OE plugs are BKR6EKUB. |
