• Audi TT Coupe and Roadster (1999 - 2006) - 03 3.2 Locking and starting problems 16 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  Last night when I arrived back at home from work and parked up, my TT would not lock with the central locking on my usual key. Thinking it was maybe the battery in the key (even though the key had worked perfectly fine and from long range up till then), I got my spare key and centrally locked

  and my car came to an abrupt halt and a loss of all electrics. I checked for loose battery connections etc and all seemed fine.

  it at all. I have tried taking the battery off to reset the ECU, but no joy. I suspect it is either an ECU problem or something to do with the fuel supply? When it does do it and I switch off the engine appears to run on for a few seconds, could this be a clue? Also last night it now stalls when I take my

He kept spraying some sort of fluid into the air intake which made the engine start, bang a bit , and then stop. This went on for 45 minutes. I asked him and the other mechanics if he

  I realise mine is two years older, Corolla's of my type/age are extremely sought after in this area as they deal well with rural roads, rarely need parts (I've owned it five years, all it's ever needed was a new battery!) & seem to run forever. How do I work out a fair price without ripping my

  was driving and the boot lid releasing every now and again among many other things. It is due in to be looked at tomorrow, but he is now wishing he had never bought it. Apparantly when he told the dealer on the phone that he might disconect the battery overnight, he was advised not to as that would confuse
• Low Mileage usage? 12 Oct 2004 (Forum)
  long term - as it never gets a change to warm up at all. The battery seems to keep its charge ok - so I assume the weekly long-run keeps it ticking over. I thought the answer was obvious - change it for a small diesel - but this would not seem to be the right answer. I should stress that she does

  and it started). The car turns over very strongly, the battery is charged up fine (we had a problem with the alternator belt a while ago and it was completely recharged after that incident!)

  to physically move the internal lens to properly switch the light from left to right. It's just a shame VW want to charge so much money for doing a simple job because the lever is not easily accessible.
