General Car Chat / Audi a4 estate radio
« on: 10 January 2018, 21:43:20 »
My audi radio keeps dropping its fm radio station. It wont even hold radio 2. The aerial is in the rear window. I have cleaned window but didnt help.
Would it be a idea to replace the aerial for one on the roof. I have read it has a seperate amp for the aerial would it help to change this. Any ideas please.

General Car Chat / explain please.
« on: 17 December 2017, 20:01:59 »
I run a 2004 1.8 turbo with a cvt box. Now i cannot seem to get the claimed 190hp out of it for example go to over take and it just does not pickup it just seems to gain speed. My old 2.6 omega with same hp or less still picked up a lot better from say 40mph upwards.
The car is fully serviced and has no issues, so could somebody who drives or has driven a petrol turbo car explain to me the best way of using the engine/turbo. The gear box is cvt which i know means it doesnt have gears as such. I now drive a lot of A roads here in somerset and the bloody tractors are doing my head in

General Car Chat / couple of questions
« on: 17 October 2017, 20:38:39 »
Audi 1.8 turbo petrol. I bought this back in april and the guy said it drinks a bit of oil. Since may i have been in somerset and my daily commute is 48 miles round trip over 2 a roads. Over the summer i think i topped the oil up once but over the last several weeks the warning light has come on saying min oil. The first time i put about 3/4 of a litre in which had it half way up the dipstick. Today the light came on again so i topped it up to max on the dipstick.
question 1. How far could i safely travel when the light comes on.
question 2. It is standard for a petrol turbo to burn this much oil.
I couldnt see any oil leaks also isnt smokey when you hit the loud peddle.

General Car Chat / weird noise
« on: 21 May 2017, 17:06:48 »
On my 2004 audi 1.8t. It drives and runs great no oil usage but when i turn it off it sounds like a jet turbine powering down. I have had a look on the internet i cant find anything. I have read a few threads on start up being noisy but none on shut down. Any ideas please before i bend over at the local audi dealers.

General Car Chat / rear parking sensors
« on: 29 March 2017, 18:19:11 »
I dont know if this is just a coincidence but yesturday i touched up the paint on my parking sensors and today now they are not working 
.
I just get a constant tone, i tried the quick omega test turning the ign on then car in reverse and checking each sensor for a clicking feel. I got nothing but if i tap each sensor the tone changes to tapping tone.
Can you put to much paint on..
They where all working in the terms of put car into reverse and it blipped once the bleep gets faster when you got closer to something

General Discussion Area / Omega less
« on: 15 March 2017, 09:00:16 »
For the first time since 2004 i do not own a omega.
I would just like to say a very big thank you to all oof members that over the years have helped in supplying and fitting and repairing my cars to keep me on the road. I know that if not for the help my omega ownership would have been a lot shorter.
Due to moving down to somerset and being several hundred miles away from oof help I decided it was time for a change.
Once again Thank you
cheers Paul
