It doesn't have a stand alone relay like older cars and trucks, it is a synthetic click that is produced by the Body control module through the driver door speaker.

Service the anti lock brake system and have a diagnostic test done to find out exactly what parts are giving you the trouble codes.

Call you Audi dealer with the VIN number and the serial number of the radio. You need to remove the radio to obtain the serial number.

You need to take the radio out and write down the serial number. Then call you Audi dealer and provide him with the serial number and the VIN number of the car.

You may have exceeded your "throw", braking shoe/ pad distance, and locked up one wheel or more. Calipers and shoe pistons have tolerances on distance they can go, and if a disk or drum has exceeded its usefulness and worn past the tolerances allowed, a cylinder or caliper may lock up after pushing out to far.

I just ran into a similar problem with my vehicle. ABS sensor wires commonly fall into places they should and get rubbed down or fall right off so that could be part of the problem and as far as brakes locking up, the brake caliper has 2 (I believe) pistons that if not lubed during last brake service COULD be causing your problem. I was estimated $1200 at my local Midas I was able to buy brand new rotors, both left and right rear calipers and pads for $320 roughly and it took me 3 hours to do myself with the help of a socket set. Brakes are a relatively easy task to tackle. Good Luck

They are sand casting cleanout and not freeze plugs. They are located all over the block and head(s).

dont know how you changed the tranny but you must have it up on a lift while using a special gravity feed siphon with the exact fluid necessary by vin or tranny part number. it must also be at operating temp and should be filled by audi specs plus or minus 2 oz.

Hi William: First confirm that the fuse is good. Then confirm (use voltmeter) that there is power at that fuse. Then use the meter to check for power at the fuel pump. Odds are that you either have a broken wire or a bad connection, possibly where the wire connects to the fuel pump. Confirm that the ircuit is grounded. Hope this helps

pull it away from left to right it is only pushfit...

no there isnt first up check your fuse box for a blown fuse if the fuse isnt blown then renew the relay that operates all these windows and sun roof the relay is usually behind the glove box hope this helps regards keith cameron

It sounds like it may be time for a coolant system flush to remove accumulated sludge in the system. You could also have some corrosion if you haven't drained the system and replaced the coolant in several years as it can loose corrosion prevention over time. It may also be a good time to have the thermostat replaced in case it is getting a little sluggish on opening. You can also take your garden hose with the spray nozzle and clean the accumulation of stuff on the condenser and radiator in the front. Some or all these measures should help.

I think 143625 with number 1 2 3 on the left side and number 4 5 6 on the right

It probably has a bad head gasket from overheating. If it won't crank over, it may have a cylinder filled with coolant that leaked past the bad gasket.

Sounds like a short in the wire from that fuse to whatever it goes to.
