Think the speaker is in the cluster. Try output controls in instrument panel pretty sure you can command it on

Re: Eric's wife's B6 A4: sunroof and other woes

Like rs4 said the wipers go open in spots. If you pull the switch apart you can move the brushes a little to get good contact again. There are guide on YouTube showing you how.

Re: Eric's wife's B6 A4: sunroof and other woes

The trick on the strange full line is to push down on the fitting, then squeeze and then pull up. I replace the first line I did as well . Had to loosen the tank to get the line through. Lots of problems with knobs. The wipers don't make good contact they can be "adjusted"

Re: Eric's wife's B6 A4: fuel me up

Don't see many factory clamps reinstalled. Maybe yours are good but the pcv is a very high fail item. 2.85g/s is very normal on 1.8t warmed up. If you see 5 then you either have a bad sensor or a internal vacuum leak as in bad pcv or check valves. Vagcom is your friend with late model audi's and vw ...

Re: Eric's wife's B6 A4: fuel me up

If you have a scan tool look at maf readings. Should be around 3g/s. If higher probably have a bad pcv valve. Also, that many miles I'd bet most of the check valves are rotten and not blocking flow. Change the pcv and check valves, save yourself some trouble.

Re: Eric's wife's B6 A4: fuel me up

As to the motor differences, I think the torque converter bushing can be removed. They are different cranks, just super hard to pull the pressed in part out. The last few I removed, I welded a big nut on that my huge slide hammer screwed into and started hammering away. The next issues is secondary ...

Re: Eric's wife's B6 A4: fuel me up

The b6 cars have issues with cracked heads. number 2 and usually number 3. I have seen many passats and A4's with this problem. I really haven't seen many blown head gaskets on these cars. The oil consumption might be the turbo with that many miles. I just built a n04 passat for my sons gf. Got a ...

Re: Eric's '90 80QT: key questions

Hey... so has anyone here installed a keyless entry system into a B3 (or a B2 which would probably be the same)?

I bought this nice little remote-start box that also has a keyless entry feature I'd like to use... but it doesn't seem like the car has any provisions for adding one?

Edit: Never mind ...

Re: Eric's '90 80QT: when hot should be not

I've been thinking of making a few for my cars maybe we can make a few extras. Aluminum was the first thing that came to mind after that I considered transparent aluminium but alas it has yet to be invined/discovered....

Re: Eric's '90 80QT: WTF moment #872

It might have to do with the brake light in th dash and with the rear dif lock I chased and issues on a coupe and that relay does more than just abs stuff I'll have to look at the diagrams Monday

Re: Eric's '90 80QT: ABS guru needed

Have a look at the coding in vag com and see what it thinks it is I'm not sure how much you can do with those older systems but that might help. I don't believe the normal abs systems really talked to the ecm but with traction control I doubt that is true. You might find yourself porting can signals ...

You could always tear it apart and clean up the sticky e brake mech. I pulled both my rears apart to powder coat them. Not super hard but the circlip in the bore kinda sucks...

I had one but I sold it to Nick at least I thought I sold it.... still haven't gotten money. I'll see if he ended up using it. I got a buddy in Scotland who could apo one for us since shipping is usually the big part.
