New Audi A4 Owner 3.0 technical questions/advice
Vehicle is a 2003 audi a4 3.0 Liter 180k Miles
Ok to start off, I did a search on youtube and a search on this forum before posting.
1: Headlight washer won't activate. I followed a youtube video how to test, turn headlights on, turn brights on, activate washer. Did not work, neither popped up. Where to go next? Should I pull out and apply 20-25psi air to them to see if they pop up? Are these even worth fixing?
2: Heated washer fluid. I normally install these on all my vehicles, but I read this vehicle already has one. How do I test? Is there a reservoir that I can test temp in?
3: Dome light doesn't turn on when drivers door opens but does when all other doors open, with this broken the "headlights left on chime" doesn't work either. I have changed out door pins on older 90's pickups but they were extremely obvious. Where is it? Where can I test it ect.
4: headlights, are not automatic. Has anyone installed an auto headlight kit. I have installed these in the past made by Directed electronics(small sensor you mount on the dash and turns on headlights at dusk/off at dawn, does anyone have a better option that they have used?
5: Fuel. I have owned a 04 range rover for 9 years, always put 87 octane in it no problems. The owners manual recommends 91 octane or higher.
6: keys, I am probably going to permanently bypass the transponder chip in the key, might go keyless push button or might get a second key ordered. I found a company that you can send a picture to and they will make a new key blank for you, but in order to program another transponder(if I don't perm bypass transponder) does anyone have any recommendations?
7: Vehicle startup, I noticed a smell of exhaust at startup but goes away after driving about 100 yards or so. I am going to change out the cabin filter this week, but this should not be normal, I would say if I installed a carbon monoxide alarm in the car it would go off. Anywhere I should start besides door seals, and firewall seals ect..
8: Do these vehicles come standard with a block heater? I am located close to the canadian border and was wondering if these come stock or If I will need to have one installed?
