where is the fuel pump located?
fransisaudi replied to roy's topic in Audi A6 / S6 / RS 6 Avant Forum in UAE
I'm not too sure but i think in A6 fuel pump is outside the fuel tank. Go under the car and check any small black cylindrical divice next to the fuel tank. -
Buying a 2004 A8, any advice with service?
fransisaudi replied to Alik's topic in Audi A8 / S8 Forum in UAE
If its non gcc specs, then you must get it check with al nabooda first and see what all things you need to change as per gcc specs. Like: radiator, thermostat or HVAC system changes if any. Al nabooda can also inspect and tell you what all things is due for change too in terms of mechanical and technical issues. -
What atulya might have pointed is for less insulation in soft top make AC less effective in peak summers in Dubai and also have wind noise on hi speed.

What should i look in S8 before buying
fransisaudi replied to atulya's topic in Audi A8 / S8 Forum in UAE
Check the ABS block before you buy. Drive on hi speed and try hard braking and see ABS should kick in and give that jittery affect to hold your car straight and not skid either ways. In older S8 thats a kind of part that fails first. Happened this with my colleague last summer and costed around 14000 dhs to fix it. -
AUDI FAULT CODES [VAG and SAE (OBD-II)]
fransisaudi replied to AudiDxb's topic in Audi General Discussion Forum in UAE
Hey Admin, Thats a big bunch of useful codes you listed. Thanks a ton. -
I dont think RTA will allow anyone pictures or stickers on car. For changing color as well you need Dubai Police permission from HQ near al mulla plaza. Choice of color i can suggest is Burgundy with High Gloss finish looks awesome.

Should i change the brakes or wheels?
fransisaudi replied to samnay's topic in Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 Avant Forum in UAE
You can visually check the thickness (remaining life) of brake pad and brake disc. If its too low or closer to finishing stage better get it change. But in your case it seems brake booster or the brake caliper/piston seems culprit as brake pedal depresses more than usual to hold the brake. Next time while driving, just pump the brake pedal couple of times and then apply brake to see if it hold faster or its still same. If after pumping, brake hold faster then that means brake booster has an issue: leaking Oring, less brake fluid, or dying itself. Better get second mechanic opinion as it seems your current mechanic knows the secret about your deep pocket and want have his share. Wheels are having no relation with your brakes at all. -
If it turned black, then its most likely time to change it. If it turned light color with sticky feeling then probably coolant is leaking inside the engine oil chamber due to head gasket leaking. In this case check the coolant and if it turned milky white color or close to it then for sure head gasket is leaking. Get it fix asap before car overheat and warp the head.
