-Flash the whole system with garden water from both direction.
-Check radiator's fin. If it clog , blow it out with air nozzle or best use pressure washer. But careful not to damage the fin. (Do not aim or point at angle and too close)
You should be good to go.

SOURCE: Core Support and Radiator Replacement , Audi A4 Quatro 1.8

Very easy - the car is designed to have these parts as being removable for the timing belt service. Opening the car is called the "service position" and involves taking these parts nearly off the car. Use the link below (it's a link to a DIY procedure for doing the timing belt on the car) - it'll show you what to do in order to remove the front clip of the car and remove the core support and radiator.

SOURCE: engine number location for 2002 audi a4

is it a 1.8 turbo or 2.8 V6 or 2.7 biturbo V6 ? on most models what you will be looking for is a 3 letter code like ATQ or APW and is normally on a sticker on the timing belt cover, it is also stamped into the engine on a ledge up high. if no luck there check the owners manual, around the 3rd page there will be a sticker that was put in the book during predelivery inspection this sticker is about 3 inches by 3 inches and filled with id codes for almost everything. If the pdi wasn't done right another copy of the same sticker will be under or next to the spare tire in the spare tire well.

SOURCE: Audi A4

Not sure if they've changed it but this is what i do for my 99 a4

First remove the screw in the handle pull, it should be next to where your fingers go.
Pull down on the black piece of plastic and remove the screw form the door
Then remove the screws on either end of the door, one near the door jam on top and one near the other side, same place.
Finally pull up then out and the door panel should come out

Hope that helps

SOURCE: Audi A4 need to replace rear brake light on audi a4

Inside the boot is a plastic cap embeded in the boot liner. Remove the cap to reveal a screw. Undo the screw and the whole rear light cluster will come away in a sideways and not rearward direction to reveal all of the bulbs. Hope this helps.

My Audi a4 TDI 02 is overheating I open the water bottle and the water shoot back up from the radiator back into the water bottle

If it did it when you first started the car(cold) , Head gasket is bad. Otherwise , shooting out would normal if the car was hot. If it overheats at idle, look to the thermostat. If it only overheats when driving, look to the water pump.

I have the front nose off my A4 Audi Quattro-1998-2.8L to do the timimg belt and I cannot locate the thermostat. Do you know where it is?

Hi mate, the thermostat probably like in my Audi 80 is situated inside of the water pump, just remove one of the hoses and it will be seen from there.
I wish you can resolve your problem, good luck.

Replacing thermostat in a 2002 a4 1.8 t

there are writeups for this in audi forums and a4mods.com
Note, if you take thermostat out of the housing, it twists out but is under spring pressure and odds are good it will pinch your finger skin as you are holding it. And hurt like a b*tch. Be careful.

I have a 1999 audi a4 quattro 1.8l turbo. timing belt broke and replaced the motor, new timing belt, water pump and thermostat. now it overheats after about 15 minutes. what could the problem be?

An airlock ?? all vw group engines have to be vented after filling with antifreeze/water.....they used to fit a tap on the top heater hose,sadly no longer.so you have to undo the clip and vent it manualy.....

If im getting the radiator leak fixed on audi a4 is it worth getting the timing belt done at the same time if needed?

If the radiator is being replaced, yes, it may be a good idea to do the timing belt and water pump as well as the thermostat at the same time. If your car is in the area of 80K miles, yes, for sure.

Once the radiator is removed it is much easier to do the timing belt so this will save you some labor costs.

2002 Audi A4 Esp Light comes on, car turns off when I have to sto

I had the same issue with my '05 A4 1.8T.  Turns out it was the RPM sensor.  Audi tried to tell me it was teh fuel pump and the cam-shaft positioning sensor.  Paid for teh fuel pump replacement and it died 6 blocks from the dealership.  Then they replaced the RPM snesor, works great now... Except it's still an Audi.

Heater does not produce hot air even on high only warm air

My 2002 Audi A4 doesn't produce the hot air, It's an Auto computer control temperature system. I took my car to the local mechanic (gas station), he said that the water pump and the timing belt need to be replaced.

The heating system normally produces by the engine, then normally the "thermostat' is causing the issue, but the temperature gauge doesn't indicate the overheat.

Any idea what's cause this problem?
