Are you servicing the caliper/rotor/pads? If so, the electronic parking brake can be released through VCDS which is available via RossTech.

Hello, i have an over heat problem, after I stop the engine watter Boiling în the tank, but on the bord is indicating normal temperature 90 celcius, could be thermostat need to be change?

Re: Ask me anything about Audis!
When you say the 'water is boiling in the tank'...do you mean the coolant is overflowing over the expansion tank?
A couple of questions if you don't mind:
Have you scanned your vehicle for codes?
Have you changed coolant recently? If so, did you vacuum bleed the system? You may have an air pocket/restriction
Do your fans turn on?
Do you have heat?

Re: Ask me anything about Audis!
Hi,
New to this forum and nice to see comments from experts.
Planning to buy an A4 2002 1.8T Manual. Just test drove this one. The clutch biting point found at a a bit higher position. Also, during idling, the car jitters a bit(not really vibrating) and the owner told me it's because of the clutch. ABS and O2 sensors warning signs are on.
Can you please tell what could approximate times clutch, ABS control module and O2 sensor would need to be replaced?
Also, there is a chip installed to boost the power. I have heard that drive shafts may get issues due to high power since they are designed for a certain power range? Does this sound like a threat to the drive shaft?
Thanks

Re: Ask me anything about Audis!
Hey there , I have an 06 A4 2.0T , getting codes P0089 , and P2293 for fuel pressure regulator performance , and fuel pressure regulator 2 performance , also P0171 bank 1 sensor 1 lean . Car runs like or dies when this occurs . I looked at measuring block 106 with my vag-com field 1 was 49 bar for hp fuel rail which is good , field 2 for electric pump duty cycle is at 80% at idle and should be about 50% , which leads me to think fuel filter or in tank fuel pump is failing ....... any thoughts . HP fuel pump and cam follower were replaced about 1 yr ago and car runs strong otherwise

Re: Ask me anything about Audis!
First of all, this is very nice of you helping around. Thank you in advance. Ill be short and concise.
Prequisites: Bought Audi Q5 2011, Automatic, 8 speed tiptronic
2.0 TFSI, Engine code: CAEB , 114000 Km, last Sunday.
Oil changed 4 days ago with 5W20 Synthetic, Germal Oil at 10 min oil Change.
Engine Idles at runnign temperature with 1.0 - 1.2 L/ Hour
Gas 94, Speed 120Km/h Hwy 407, from 404 to 437, average Gaz consumption 7.5L / 100Km
Performs extremmly well, I don's see problems, but...
I have some concerns, I could not find proper answers, people are saying different things about these.
1. I just found out about oil burn on CAEB engines. Is the oil consumption affecting all CAEB engines? How do I know ?
2. What is the normal engine idle L/H at normal running temperature. Mine is 1.0 to 1.2 L/Hour
3. If I take the engine cover aside, the engine noise is unusual, rattling & ticking like a broken
mechanism, though it seem it performs alittle better when accelerating. When decellerating I can hear som
puffs and other mechanisms working.
4. At idle the engine is slighty vibrating.
5. AFter I stop the engine I can hear a high frequency sound from the engine for 10 to 20 seconds ?
6. I cleaned the black exhaust before the oil change on both exhausts. I put 94 Ocatne Gas, New oil.
Today I checkd the exausts. They are black on the inner walls. Is this normal ?
Are these normal or I have to run a sesious check on the Car.
Thank you.

Re: Ask me anything about Audis!
Thanks for your help and reading my post.
My 06 audi a3 2.0T, my obd-II was showing timing over advanced for quite some time but it was normal driving. Recently during idle at a red light, the camshaft adjuster unit popped off and all the screws came off.Causing immediate engine shutdown and unable to start. We put placed the unit back in the engine, and attempted to adjusting the camshaft back to how it was originally where we marked it last when we changed the tensioner. However the engine is misfiring and the timing seems to be off badly due to very high level vibration. Do you think its the camshaft adjuster unit is causing the misfire? or is it something else? Because when I manually turn my camshaft, theres a delay in one of the camshafts in a certain position but it goes back to normal after an inch of rotation. So no matter much much I turn the crank it will have its original position I initially marked before the disaster.
Any help would be appreciated.
