With the age of your car ... your thermostat could be bad (ie does not open when engine warms up)

Put on Craigslist quick

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.

One likely possibility why the engine loses power and stalls could be because of the air compression rate going from the engine air filter and the engine, which is the AIR MASS METER HOSE located between the air filter box and the engine, which could be cracked. This happens when a careless mechanic changes the engine air filter without untightening the ring that holds the hose to the air filter box, causing the hose to be twisted to the point of breakage. It is not immediately apparent, but checking its condition would be the first thing to do.

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

You will need the systems control module scanned for fault codes, when the light is on a code is in memory.

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

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.

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. Some dealer provide the radio code look up for free; other charge for the service. The code is written on a perforated card inside your operator manual.

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. (or equivalent ml) I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/howard_977676954994c5b2

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

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