The fault used to come up rarely. Now its back every time i turn the ignition on. Also when i put the temp to HI i hear absolutely loud bubbling noise from the engine compartment. it reminds me of something just about to blow due to pressure issues. I turned the TEMP back to LO and it stopped! I wont be testing it again anytime soon just for the heck of it. Too scared tbh. :-(
My best guess is the gurgling that you are hearing is due fault with the coolant valve/pump in plenum chamber (V50)... IIRC the coolant is not only pumped around engine but gearbox and the AC/heater matrix... will fish out info if get my other PC online or find on web...
I would greatly appreciate it. I gave Audi a call today, got a few quotes...
Glow plugs
6 glow plugs @ $70.74 each

Coolant Circulation Pump (V50)
Coolant pump/valve @ $1006.15
Labour 2.5 @ $176.00 per hour
Total est. $1447.00
Thats nearly 1500 pounds
:yikes:... that's expensive... I'll try to get a like quote from here for comparative...
Did you manage to get a quote? Nothing new on my side here. I've ordered all parts the only thing to arrive was the 3/8 to 1/4 socket adaptor enlarger. The rest is still 'travelling'. I swear i'd deliver it faster even if i had to go by foot to the buyer... I've taken 5 days off from work, so hopefully it arrives in that time and i get it all done. Will keep youse updated! :-)
Due to holiday season & being a bit snowed not yet got quote :Blush2:...
Will do soon as I need to get a quote for compression test ...
My glow plugs and some other parts arrived :) ...
got my tools..... Attachment 19009Attachment 19010Attachment 19011
its a nice set of tools... The glow plug kit is rubberised inside to be soft for the plugs...
Tools look fantastic! :fing02: ...
I saw you read the thread on "Signs of compression loss", Crasher (:approve:) gave some great tips on the glow plugs...

Thanks a bunch mate! Try giving yours a sip of wine :beerchug:(Liqui moly for diesel) and see if it makes a difference. I'm really curious.
I'll keep on scanning mine to see if any error codes come up. In the meantime... :confused:
