Thank you Andy for being interested in my problem, I appreciate it, even if at the moment I don't yet know how I'm going to get out of it, because I realize by reading the experiences of A2 owners, and in particular the 1600 FSI that the decision to take can be that "dramatic" of the jockey...

November has arrived and for various other reasons I have not resolved the water leak issues I outlined here in July. I therefore confirm that the (in)visible leaks are located behind the engine block, where it is useful to have a dentist's mirror and the hands of a gynecologist to guess...

Thank you for your attention, but now all the laboratories meet for the month of September. This means I would keep a small container of coolant just to be on the safe side. But I don't go on long trips anymore. Have a nice summer

Hi Thank you PlasticMan and Evripidis for your indications and advice. Photos would of course have been useful, but you have already given me elements that I will indicate to my mechanic. I no longer feel enthusiastic enough to face the continuous problems of our aging A2s. I have done this for...

Hello Yet another 1600 FSI coolant leak Not too convinced of the diagnosis of a mechanic who had only noticed an oozing from the pipes used to heat the passenger compartment, I thought there could be another origin given the few small puddles of water on the ground if the car had been stationary...

For many years, I never worried too much about the coolant level. Then I noticed a small puddle or two of water under the car, if it was left standing for more than two or three days. I immediately checked the water tank and to my surprise the level was half a centimeter below the minimum and...

I agree with the statement in the last sentence, but I don't understand the implication of the EGR valve in the case of fitting an "oiler". The EGR valve works intermittently and downstream, and in this case it would receive a mixture of air and exhaust gas, both purified of most of the oil...

Your point of view makes sense, but according to the manufacturers of the "oil cath can" this box acts in surplus, like a decanter where the oil vapors condense and remain in the bottom (which must be emptied from time to time). time) and in the air intake then penetrates only a minimum of...

"Oil catch cans are simple devices that can greatly benefit direct-injected engines. They prevent oil and other contaminants from causing buildup inside your engine's intake manifold. Here's how they work, and why you might want to install one on your own car. A typical catch can plugs into a...

Thank you all for all these "pills", to understand our FSis that sometimes make us suffer!

Often, if the head gasket is faulty, there are traces of oil in the cooling system, and of course oil contaminated with water.

very nice with these rims (UP?)

Sarco, have you considered that in Europe it is easier to use a vehicle with left-hand steering?

Distracted?

Thanks herx , for the quick response and the suggested link. It is useful for me and .... my mechanic! Without the existence of A2oc I would have changed cars a long time ago.

Goodmorning everyone Ten days ago, the "engine management" light on my 1600fsi came on. The machine seems to work normally, but a friend of mine in possession of a briefcase (TEXA) carried out a self-diagnosis with the following result: Description: 17446 (P1038) Transducer Heating for Nox...

....what if it would just be the condensate that forms in the exhaust pipes and evaporates when the engine starts to heat up? Ciao

Yes, thank you and compliment for this family photo! I appreciate . It is true, that the respective aerodynamic studies have logically generated similar but original lines
