IMPORTANT NOTE:
You must have the security anti-theft code for your Audi radio from the car manufacturer, or from an Audi dealer!

You can find the radio code at: http://www.radio-code.co.uk/

The sequence of Audi radio programming is:
1. Push simultaneous "SCAN" and "RDS" keys until on the screen will appear "1000" displayed.
2. Release keys. No more push on "SCAN" and "RDS" keys because otherwise number "1000" will be considered as first safe code attempt.
For example: we have the security code "5079". Then:
3. By the no.# 1 key you will set up the first safe code digit. Push 5 times on the no.# 1 button. The "5" number will be setted.
4. By the no.# 2 key you will set up the second safe code digit. Push 10 times on the no.# 2 button. The "0" number will be setted.
5. By the no.# 3 key you will set up the third safe code digit. Push 7 times on the no.# 3 button. The "7" number will be setted.
6. By the no.# 4 key you will set up the four-th safe code digit. Push 9 times on the no.# 4 button. The "9" number will be setted.
7. Then push again simultaneous "SCAN" and "RDS" keys for confirm this safe code. On the screen will be displayed "SAFE" notice. Release keys! For few seconds a radio frequence will be displayed.
The radio is now ready for use!

Are you saying that there is spark at no 1 but not on the other plugs. Check your distributor rotor to see if its not broken at the tightening base. When this happens the engine will usually only fire on the one plug that it is pointing at

manual ,well providing you get 4th ok then its syncro problem ,so its a gearbox out and either a second hand box or repair the existing one with new parts ,check the linkage out first though as they can wear on the nylon bushes which would lose motion but if i had a drive i could tell you in seconds but as you appreciate its a lot more difficult from a description

The clicking and vibrating I can't comment on, but the antifreeze smell inside may indicate a leaking heater core. Is the inside of your windshield covered with a film that won't go away? is the carpet up front wet all the time? If so, a leaking heater core may well be the problem.

change it as soon as you can, if you dont , the first problem caused in damiged the fuse and then electrical short at last stop the fuel pump working and my have abig problem

Hi

There are a few ways to mend it. First look closely at grill for screws or clips you may even have to remove headlight assembly locate where the cable attaches to hood latch. Grab hold of cable with vice grips or wire pliers and pull to make hood release.

Also in the bellow link there are couple of videos which shows how to repair the bonnet not opening situations.

Diagrams as such are different for various models and can be found in the instruction manuals.

hello pal I have an audi with an engine like yours. I have some suggestion: if you have replaced the airflow meter or the coil of the sparkle's distribution of electric current (the need to be clean, try to clean the fuel tank, clean the injectors and the fuel hoses of fuel! have you seen your sparkles maybe they are not very reliable?

If the bushings are worn, then it is best to replace them. If changing the other parts did not solve the problem, then have the bushings changed.

loosen all the bolts on the alternator,swing it inward,toward the block,then fit belt,swing outward,with a lever to tighten belt,before tightening all bolts.(easy,but spanner rash......)
