Hi Everyone,

I am new to this site after acquiring my 2003 A4 avant 2.5 V6 TDi only last week.

So far the car is great and goes like a train but I have a few issues I am trying to find answers for.

Firstly starting, my car has approx 130,000 miles on the clock, the previous owner has changed all 6 of the glow plugs so he said. The car will start reasonably okay if left over night but run a little rough for a few seconds before purring away, if the car has been out on a run and warm then it starts absolutely instantly with no problems, if the car has been on a run but cooled down again then it can take around 10 to 15 seconds for it to start but then tick over fine straight away.
Has anyone got any suggestions as to this one ?

Secondly OBD or Can-Bus, I am looking to get a code reader for the car for general maintenance etc. problem is I don't know if my car is OBDII or Can-Bus as the prices vary by quite a lot.
Again, anyone know what type I need or how I can find out ?

Thirdly sticking brake, My car has had new rear discs and pads but I noticed the rear passenger (as it is here in Sweden) brake seems to be sticking on after using the handbrake, I noticed this after feeling how bloody hot the wheel was the other day when the others were cold ! It seems to be doing this a bit with the footbrake as well although nowhere near as bad.
Again, any suggestions ?

Any pointers help or tips greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Shaun.
