excessive backpressure due to catalytic converter/muffler failure/leakage.
Question: Hi, the
fan on my Audi A3 1.6 04 plate radiator wont stop running (small fan not the
large one). I've had to disconnect the battery when I'm home as I cant find the
fuse relating to the fan (its not where it says it is the book), I've been told
that it might be the control switch that needs replaced?, can you help?, thanks
in advance
Answer: I would look first
at the relay for the fan. I may have welded itself together. I would pull the
relay out and see if you have another relay that is identical to that one and
swap it in and see if the fan starts working correctly. If it does then you just
need to buy a new relay and install it.
Question: I recently repaired
a damaged Audi A3 TDI quattro s-line (170) - front OS was damaged along with the
fuse box - all body work is done and we have an electrician replaced fuse box
and cabling. The car does have power ie windows, stereo. the remote key will
lock and unlock the vehicle. and we can get the engine to turn over no probs.
but it will not start from the key, the dash isnt lighting up either? Any Audi
experts out there know what the problem might be? Thanks in advance for any
help.Answer:
Hello, the best way to attack the problem is to purchase
a wiring diagram and trace the wiring to see were the short circuit is located.
It sounds like the ignition switch is not getting power on one of the polls on
the ignition switch itself.
