The blue sensor in the bottom of the rad and also the green engine coolant temperature sensor changed and all is now OK.

Also, the noise on the engine was down to a failed damper which was also a brand new part. FFS!

Told today that the sensor in the rad is U/S and when replaced the temperature gauge now works. Also told that the thermostat is intermittant so it all needs stripping down again. So much for buying OEM parts. X( Spoke to Audi and they said they would replace the faulty thermostat - thanks Audi. How...

Have the level been checked after a short drive?

Yes there is ,.........always worth asking. I've also asked them to bleed the pressure system and make sure that it is not air locked.

Level checked and all OK.

No they did not although I read somewhere about a faulty pressure switch which is to do with the aircon.

Which fan? Electric or belt driven? The electric fan will run in Auto on the climatronic when it needs to, press ECON and it should stop. The belt driven fan spins all the time but has little drive behind it until its coupling warms, you should be able to stop it spiking when the engine is cold, do...

They read the codes from the car and it is not showing any faults.

Because of my thermostat not working and taking advice on here, I decided to have the cambelt changed at the time. Now normally I do all my own mechanics but again from taking advice on here, I booked it into a local garage. The first phone call I got from them was that the kit only included x1 belt...

I have a set of these to go on and they are 9J, but was only looking at 10mm spacers.

The weels I currently have on are ET35 which are the standard highline ones.

The RS6 wheels are ET 45.

So will I get away with just 10mm?

Where is the best place to buy a set of mats as my drivers one is a little tired? I've seen these on e-bay, but just wondered where the best place is to get a decent set. The car is a B5.5 V6Tdi Highline estate and the original mats are grey in colour. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BRAND-NEW-GENUINE-VW-...

Had a quote today and garage wanted £500 big ones.

Anyone had it done cheaper elsewhere?

Once this is done the car will be up for sale with just 117K and FVAG + Highline model.

My thermostat is not working. The engine is a BDG and it is a V6 Tdi.

Can this be replaced without removing the cambelt?

If the cambelt has to come off it will all get repalced including the water pump etc.

Can anyone recommend anyone who will work for pound notes?

Can bring car and assist etc.

Went to the stealers on Friday to price one of these............£313! Removed it on Saturday and all looked OK. Pulled the sheath back on the connector, two wires bared and one broken. I've made a temporary repair to the loom and it works - very happy! Just need to do the thermostat now, which from...

Hi All, I noticed that my footwell carpet and mat are damp/wet. I haven't spilt anything down there, so I'm at a loss as to what has caused it. Anyone got any idea? Suffered something similar? Cheers Tom I once came back from a two week break in Turkey to find around 10cm in my footwell. It turned ...

Do an output test on it with vcds to see if it drives the throttle body

Hi Dave,

I've done all sorts on my UR Quattro so mechanically I'm OK, but when it comes to this V6 I'm lost.

How do I achieve this test and what is a vcds?

This fault went away for several months and now it has come back.........., although it did go away for a few days and so on. Basically I have found where this lives and seperated it yesterday from the inlet manifold. There was hardly any oil residue at all, but nevertheless, I cleaned it anyway. It...

could be either but most likely it's the thermostat that's stuck open allowing the engine to over cool you can check the engine temp on channel 45 on your climate control panel :-bd that will tell you if the sensor is grade f I found out how to access this and channel 45 said 62 degrees which was w...

Just last week I noticed the temperature gauge only reaching about 60 degrees. Prior to this it was always solid at 90 degrees. I've done some research on the forum but not read anything which would give me a 100% diagnosis. Is it likely to be the Coolant Temperature Sensor or the Thermostat? My car...

Good spot.

MOT and Tax until January 2014 + pictures added.

Please can you advise me of the value of my car before I advertise it on here. I have a 53 plate (registered January 2004) V6Tdi highline estate which has done 104K. It has a FVAG, has just been serviced oil and brake fluid, x4 new tyres, recent pads all round + rear discs and is MOT'd & taxed u...

Surely someone can tell me where the throttle body is on the V6 TDi engine?

The car is a 2.5 V6TDI 2004 B5.5.

Hi All, Recently I've had the 'Emissions Workshop' light come on. A qucik scan of the codes gave a reading of 2100. It normally comes on after the 2nd start and can be on for a few days, but then it will not appear for a few days. I've done a bit of research and a favourite is to clean the throttle ...

What parts did you replace as this has just happened to me on my V6 TDi.

The garage are just looking at replacing the bolt, new belt and nothing else?

GSF advised on changing the spring/damper, but the garage said 'no'. How can you check what needs changing?

Cheers Karl - thank you very much.

Hi,

Can I have the part number please for the G62 sensor. Also where is it on the V6 TDi?
