B4 2.6 - starting problem / red oil light

[missfire]

No way.. Life saver, lead bought, I have one of those little orange things already (was a bit cheaper than ross tech at the time!).

2.6 will have the black and white connectors in the fuse box. That's the problem I've had getting codes out of mine - no blue connector - which means that you can't blink the codes out without running a wire from the ecu to the back of the instrument cluster/installng a lamp etc. (only installed for California market at that time I think) Didn't fancy ripping the entire interior out to do that!

If you need some bits???........ https://www.gumtree.com/p/audi/audi-80-cab/1163263212
From a diagnosing point of view, swapping bits from a runner donor vehicle would likely get yours sorted.

Hi John, I spotted that also, was considering it. At £200 (plus travel expense) you could prob recoupe the outlay in parts.

Just wondering how much a front end knock might have affected the engine and components
