Re: first dead battery, now no radio. code ? what code ? |
|
|
I recently purchased a used A4... had the Owners Manuel, but also had the
radio code tag missing... all I did was went to a dealer , explained that
the code was missing (previous owner probably never handed it in)... they
removed the radio, got serial number & VIN, contacted the factory and after
a day or two gave me the code, no hassles , no charge, so what's the
problem.....

Re: Driving with disconnected ISV? - Update No 2 Solved (sor |
|
|
Nedavno Steve Sears pise:
| You might want to look close to the relays you have found, in my 1987
| 5ktq there are a set of relays accessable by a cover, but there are
| also some relays mounted beside them.
I found ISV control unit. It is integrated with fuel injection control
unit, and is under right side kick panel, and ISV is connected to it. I
checked connection and it is OK.
Ignition control unit is under left side kick panel, and idle and full
throttle switches are connected to it (and the connection is OK, and
switches work as they should).
Since I did not knew how to fix my idle problem proper way I decided to
do the only way I knew. I cut the wire from fuel injection control unit
to ISV just in front of fuel injection control unit, and then used rear
fog light switch on the dash for connecting and disconnecting ISV.
Hire is how it now works: I switch ISV on, start the car, and drive for
a while until engine warms up to ~50 degrees Celsius. I then hit the
switch, and disconnect ISV, and engine revs nicely around 800 rpm. No
stalling - hesitating then. Not the best solution, but it works.
I was wondering if I could do some damage by disconnecting ISV while
engine is running?
Am I right to assume that there is no vacuum leak if engine does not
stall with ISV disconnected?
And since idle switch works, and its connection to ignition control unit
is OK, as is ISV - fuel injection control unit connection, perhaps ISV
is my problem. On the other hand I cleaned ISV with carburetor cleaner
(I should use throttle body cleaner as I learned later), and checked it
with 9V battery, it seemed OK to me. And I did put another ISV (but not
from NF engine, it was slightly different), and my problem did not go
away:-(
Anyway I temporarily solved my stalling/idle problem.

C.R. Krieger, Clutch Question |
|
|
C.R. Krieger,
I have a question for you. From reading one of your posts, it has
become apparent to me that I ride the clutch sometimes and would like to
figure out how to get away from it. I'm not new to manual
transmission, but every car I have had before my A4 has been old. Can
you give me some instruction on how to transistion from a stop without
putting too much wear on the clutch plates?

Re: C.R. Krieger, Clutch Question |
|

agreed, dont apply throttle while your about to release clutch pedal, the
faster the flywheel is turning the more wear will occur, so slowly lift
clutch and when you feel it "bite" gradually increase the engine speed while
smoothly and switly releasing the remaining clutch pedal travel.
never rest your foot on the pedal, this will increase wear not to mention
reduce the life of the release bearing.
the sooner the clutch is engaged the sooner the clutch will grind to a halt
against the flywheel and stop the wear process.
another good tip for long clutch life is dont change gear unless necessary
and always choose the appropriate gear for the conditions, EG: dont try and
negate a steep hill at slow speeds in 5th gear.
regards.

Try driving away without touching the gas pedal for some time until you
get
the hang of it.
Don't put your left foot on the ground but use it free air.

I'm not sure *what* that means.
Here's what I usually suggest:
Try to get your 'starting out' clutch engagement done in under a
second. Experiment with 'blipping' the throttle so there's a little
engine momentum when you release it. Getting the right amount for each
car is different, so you need to learn it for *your* car. Once you do,
you should be fine. Learn to be decisive about it, as well. Once you
start your movement up, make it smooth and continuous and then get your
foot off the pedal. If you stall or buck, remember that next time and
try a little more throttle application. It simply takes practice and
experience in *that particular car*.
Going between gears, try to get your clutch engagements done in less
than a half-second. That doesn't mean you need to *shift* in a half
second, just release the clutch pedal from fully depressed to fully
released in a half second.

Sorry...but am i the only one inhere which grew up using manual tranīs?
I had problems adjusting to my A4īs automatic...for crying out loud! *gg*
I thought manual transmissions were like...you know, THE most common.
And seeing Krieger asking how to use a clutch, is like asking how to
walk....the most natural thing of all ;-) (no pun intended...really!)
To be realistic: percent-wise...what is the most common way of shifting a
gear worldwide? Manual or automatic?

Not much, any car will roll when just releasing the clutch without using the
throttle.
It's meant to get the feel of it.

Just move your foot on the clutch without resting it on the floor.

This is how shifting gears is taught in motorcycle safety courses, and
very effectively, too. |

if you pass your driving test in an automatic here in uk you arn't legally
allowed to drive a manual.
but its pretty rare as the larger percentage of vehicles here are all
manuals.

Worldwide I'm not sure, but in the US it's definitely automatic that's in
majority. Some car models aren't even available with a manual option, not
even if you pay extra. :) Most people learn how to drive and pass their
driving exams without ever learning what a clutch is and without ever seeing
one. Which is not bad, just different :-)

Hiya Pete....
Yeah, i know "Los Americanos" is born with automatic shifting per se, and
are having BIG problems when they visit europe. But here in europe, most
cars are manuals - but more and more auto-trannys are showing up. But i
think the reason for the manual popularity here, is that automatic is WAY
more expensive when you buy your new ride.
Hell....iīm back to manual again, after i sold my A4. And i MISS MY
TipTronic!!! *sigh*
