Anyone familiar with the blue drain plug on the A6 radiator. I recently replaced the heater core (ausitnaldo's step-by-step writeup proved invaluable!!!)and when bleeding the coolant system i noticed a slow drip from the blue radiator drain plug on the lower passenger side (hisis where i drained the coolant to minimize coolant leaking all over the garage duting the heater core removal). Anyone know if this is something typical? Is there an easy fix? Am i looking at a new radiator?

Any help or thoughts will be much appreciated. ]]> Audi 100 / A6 (C4 Platform) Discussion a6wagon http://forums.audiworld.com/showthread.php?t=2768176 http://forums.audiworld.com/showthread.php?t=2768175&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 23:11:37 GMT Gotta get rid of these two cars as well :( ...

I've got a 1992 100 with 134k that has several issues that are bewildering to my mechanic (reason being he specializes in MB I'm guessing). If anything comes to mind as a recognizable issue or something reasonably fixable myself please let me know. Here goes:

1. Engine tick / repetitious light clicking (seemingly coming from the left cyl. bank and is a recently new occurrence) 40k on most recent TB

2. Power steering fluid leak - what's the standard lifespan of the rack and est. cost/work involved to replace? Might there be something less drastic wrong?

3. Brake pad indicator warning light (middle information center of dash) - new pads were just installed. I've cleaned the connectors and even tried jumping the wires to "close the loop" since its basically just a closed circuit (no luck).

4. Mysteriously intermittent working/not working heated drivers seat. I don't think its the element since when it works it seems to heat the entire seat considering if maybe just one part of the element was bad.

5. Manual transmission 1st gear tick - one opinion suggested this apparently was a design fault in that Audi made 1st gear too tall and it ended up getting stripped with age. That may be untrue, looking for others with this problem or possible fix?

Long live the C4's, in my opinion some of the best models Audi made in terms of reliability and quality. ]]> Audi 100 / A6 (C4 Platform) Discussion 100-944 http://forums.audiworld.com/showthread.php?t=2768003 http://forums.audiworld.com/showthread.php?t=2767777&goto=newpost Sun, 15 Nov 2009 15:46:37 GMT 97 A6Q with 167k miles, just bought it a week... 97 A6Q with 167k miles, just bought it a week ago, doesn't appear that they ever flushed the power steering (recommended every couple years I think) and fluid is a greyish color.

My 1996 Audi A6 is producing a knocking sound behind the belts. Sounds like it is coming from whatever compartment is between the belts and the top gaskets.

When I filled up washer reservoir fluid leaked out at short hose that connects to driverside headlight washer assembly...I plugged off the hose, and no more leaks, the windshield washer works perfect, but no fluid out of the passenger side headlight nozzles with lights on and windshield washers spraying. Any thoughts? Is there a second pump for the headlights or does it run off the same windshield pump? Does line have to be bled out? Should you be able to blow air through the nozzle itself if you remove it and blow through it? ]]> Audi 100 / A6 (C4 Platform) Discussion A6Curt http://forums.audiworld.com/showthread.php?t=2767607 http://forums.audiworld.com/showthread.php?t=2767580&goto=newpost Wed, 11 Nov 2009 00:04:47 GMT Model # is 4D0 035 111 APE can any one tell me...
