Anyone know anything about the Audi A4 1.9 TDI?

[Stu]

the fans are pretty reliable

its the wiring on the control module that goes wrong but they can be repaired

[Phooey]

Well I'm hoping to get the computer on it soon so I can have a proper diagnostic done.

[Stu]

hopefully he is using VCDS then you can run tests on the fans to see if they work

don't know what he'll be using. Might be worth asking him when I book it in.

No Idea mate ... I only bought the car just over a week ago and it wasn't working then. I assumed it needed re-gassing and booked it in.

Having nothing in it, i wouldn't be surprised if you have a leak aswell.

According to ticket it holds a vaccuum is all.

Small leaks can be missed by the vaccum test. The reason dye is then added to the system if a leak is suspected.

No gas what so ever is a good sign of a leak

Man put his lappy on it and said it's the AC sensor switch. Located one in the VW spares department. Problem is, they refused to sell us it because it was going in an Audi! WTF is that all about?

Now, I found one on ebay but not sure if it ok ... I know the one in there is a three pin so should this be ok?

Yeah, £70 for new one though!

HOW MUCH

If you can get the part number then search for the part number in google and on ebay this usually pulls up some good results

I have had brand new genuine bike parts really cheap doing this!

Or as drz says try TPS

Tried TPS ... doesn't seem to have anything for AC in their catalogue

How would I get the part number Stu?

[Stu]

part numbers are usually on the part or try googling for it

I have a program with all part numbers called etka but it won't work with windows 10!

If its the sensor thats in the condenser at the front according to this http://etka.cc/tvn_result/search/tvn/8E0959126" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; the part number is 8E0959126

No numbers that I can see on it. It's the one at the front looks ike it's attached to the radiator.

[Stu]

That above should be the correct part number then
