If you own 2008+ Audis, you can access
***Never jump start on any Audi by connecting jumper cables directly on the battery terminals – This will kill the ECU – Always Positive (RED) to the + of the battery and the Negative (BLACK) to a body chassis (GROUND) – Normally Audi cars should have a Negative POST next to the battery (A8) or jumper posts in the engine bay (A6 & Q7) – Make sure the service people know when they come to rescue your car stranded anywhere.***
A8 D3 Fuse Box (passenger side)
2013-03-02 For A8 D3 (04-10), there is no jump post in the engine bay, it’s in the trunk. In case of dead battery with key stuck in the ignition, trunk doesn’t open (since we can jump start through the engine bay), read this post.
To jump or charge the battery on the A8 D3 (2004-2010), never hook up the negative end directly to the battery negative post, only on the car negative pole just like the picture below.
Serpentine or Ribbed belt
One good thing/bad thing about Audi cars is most of them only have 1 drive belt for everything beside the Timing belt. This belt will drive alternator, power steering pump, etc… Sometimes when the belt broke, we should know how to replace the belt on our car. It’s a good habit to have a spare in the trunk on a long trip. Since the belt drives so many pulleys, it’s good to know the diagram of the belt mounted and rotation. All serpentine belts have the belt tensioners need to be released to remove the belts.
Remove and install serpentine belt for Q7 3.6 L FSI.
Remove and install serpentine belt for 2006 A8L 4.2L.
Remove and install serpentine belt for 2004 A4 V6 3.0L.
Audi A6 V6 2.8L Ribbed Belts
Audi transmission is in Safe (Limp) Mode: Operates in 3rd gear only.
Sometimes, in case of emergency like needing a jump on battery or tow, we or our spouse may not know where all these important stuff are. These are the little things we should/must know about Audi cars.
* If we have a Quattro (All Wheel Drive) Audi, we need a flatbed to tow our cars. When we take the car to get smog check, most or all of the time, the tech should know we don’t need to test on rollers because it’s AWD. * Most of Audis have batteries placed any where but front engine bay, except our 04 A4 Cabriolet, so when we need a jump from another car when the battery is dead or low, we need to locate the jump posts in front or battery itself if it’s in the trunk.
* Power steering fluids are mineral (green oil), the safe one is Pentosin 11s, so don’t just put any power steering fluid in it. The best is to get one of these cans on line because we may need it sometimes, especially if the car is over 100k miles.
* Locate the fuse box on Audis cars: A4, A6 is on the left of the dashboards, A8 is on the passenger footwell right (there is a screw knob), and Q7 are on both left and right of the dash board just like the A6
* We have 4 cars that have all batteries placed in all Audi possible locations, so they can be a great examples for Audi’s owners.
2004 B6 A4 Cabriolet
A6 battery under the seat
96 A6-The battery is under the rear passenger bench seat, therefore, it has the jumper cable posts in the engine bay. If we need to replace the battery, we just have to remove 2 screws holding the seat to the floors and lift the seat up.
The most important thing when putting jumper cables on the car, RED (+ positive) and BLACK (- negative) on both cars while making a jump. Lift the black plastic cover, we should see a metal terminal where we can clip the RED positive cable on to it.
98 A8 D2 battery is placed in the trunk on the right handside. Since the battery is easily accessible, there’s no engine jump terminals that we know of, so when we need a jump for our battery, we use the battery location for jumper cables.
Again, most terminal post should have a plastic cover to avoid accidental short from metal objects to the ground (negative) terminals. The Ground (Negative) terminal is exposed, this is where the black jumper cable should clamp on to in case of battery jumping.
Positive Terminal is where the RED clamp should be on.
We need to locate all the fluids indicators and stick to check. The coolant is red (we use prestone red coolant instead of the dealer’s), power steering is green (pentosin 11s), and the engine oil dipstick is orange (our little ring broke off).
Again, Our Q7 battery is placed under the seat. Since the battery is NOT easily accessible, there are engine jump terminals for jumper cables.
Q7 coolant reservoir is on the passenger side and the cap needs to be removed to check for the level. The coolant has to go up to the max mark.
Again, most positive terminal posts should have a plastic cover to avoid accidental short from metal objects to the ground (negative) terminals. The Ground (Negative) terminal is exposed, this is where the black jumper cable should clamp on to in case of battery jumping.
We should know about our cars even though we may not need to use these emergency services ever… 🙂 idog
Reckless Mac Os X
Space Giraffe.
A game two years in the making, during the production of which I came as close to a nervous breakdown as I ever care to get. A game whose return for the investment of time and effort was so low that we would actually have been better off not bothering doing anything at all and instead been taking the dole, or heroin or something. A game whose production left us pretty much completely skint, in a situation where we can no longer engage in much that is experimental or in fact do anything much at all except run frantically on the iOS treadmill, and as a result left me prone to bouts of abject depression that mean I haven’t listened to any music for five years, find it difficult to connect with my family and am out of touch with my old mates from back in the day, even though I’d actually quite like to see them again one day.
And yet.
Still the best thing we’ve ever made, and the culmination of a life’s work. I’m still incredibly proud of what we made and what we tried to do.
It’s a game that cost me a lot. But it doesn’t have to be the same for you!
Wreckless Mac Os Catalina
The PC version of Space Giraffe (which is the excellent, higher-rez version with the optional kinder, gentler level set for those who are afeared of the full-on psychedelic onslaught of the original) has been included in the latest Bundle In A Box, “Deep Space”. It’s in highly illustrious company too, with other excellent deep-space shooters.
The official lineup of the bundle is as follows:
-Death Ray Manta (PC/Mac)
-Llamasoft’s demented Space Giraffe (PC/Steam)
-frenetic space-combat sim The Wreckless (PC/Mac/Desura)
-surreal RPG/adventure Dark Scavenger (PC/ Mac/Desura)
-the official remake of the Commodore 64 classic Armalyte (PC).
Paying above the average price will allow gamers to enjoy three more excellent games and a selection of interactive Armalyte extras. Said games are:
-stunning space-shooter Sol: Exodus (PC/Steam/Desura)
-just released 2.5D arcade offering Miner Wars Arena (PC/Mac/Desura)
-humorous platformer RobotRiot (PC/Mac/Desura).
The bundle is available on a Pay What You Like basis, with the only limitation being that the minimum price is a puny 99 Earth cents!
Now if that’s not an invitation to get your deep-space blasting trousers on I don’t know what is .
So come on – get the game that nearly broke me, at a price that certainly won’t break the bank! And get a whole load more excellent games too, so even if you end up hating Space Giraffe and me and think I was a pretentious smeghead for even daring to emit such a thing – you still win anyway .
So come on, support a bunch of indie devs and cheer me the fuck up by getting the Deep Space Bundle at Bundle In A Box!
DO EET!
