Finally got to the bottom of it!!
My cooling fan module looked fine but the wiring had rotted internally after years of water damage. Was an utter bitch to get into. The front had to come off for access. Car is going perfectly now.
Heaps of power, heaps of fun!! Well worth the hassle!!

Apologies for my ignorance, what is the EGT sensor and where is it located?
Is this best done at the dealer or can my mechanic friend cope with this easily?
Any info you can pass on will be appreciated.

Thanks for the info guys.
I will do a bit of investigation and see what the score is.
If i need a n75 valve then will just get a genuine Audi unit although it breaks my heart going to the stealer!
Is there a tried and tested aftermarket alternative?
Any suggestions?

Intermittent Turbo's

Hi Guys. I am having a small problem with my turbo's! When i start the car it runs as normal, turbos working as normal etc. Around ten minutes into the journey, the turbo's fail to come in as expected. The journey will continue with no turbo boost. If I stop the car and start it again, i will get bo...

My car isn't lowered, in fact, other than the re-map my car is standard.

I will pass this on to my mechanic friend who will make a better job of it than the a**hole at the dealership who says the rear wheels are non-adjustable!!

Thanks Jimbo 1234567.

Rear Wheel Camber

Hey guys.
Anybody know if it's possible to adjust the rear wheel camber on the B5 RS4?
She has a tendancy to wear the inside edge of the rear tyres prematurely.
I would appreciate any input.

Cheers.

My car has had a tracker in the past. Never crossed my mind that it could be that! Smart thinking dude!
I assume it would continue to pull power if connected to the network or not??
Any ideas where a tracker gets it power?

My car also has a minor battery drain. It is off to the paint shop for a respray but when i get her back the only way to pin point the battery drain is to turn off the ignition, go to the fuse box with a multi meter and check every fuse to see which one is still pulling power. My battery would drain...
