Unfortunately I didn't have the star key to take the fuel filter off so I just put the cables back on each end until I get the tool. I also checked the fuel filter and when I disconnected both sides there was very little pressure. It looked pretty dirty compared to my other relays.) I took my back seat cover off and had my friend turn the ignition and I cant hear a think when I place my ear to the fuel pump. All of the wires seem to look fine and their doesn't seem to be any damage. Does that mean its working? The fuel pump fuse is still not turning on. When I turn the ignition and place my finger on the fuel pump relay (372) I can feel the click. If you need help finding a shop message me directly with the city you live in and i will replie back with the closest shop that i would recommend for you to go to. Do your selfs a favor and find a good recommended audi/ VW mechanic shop in your area and have them take a look at your vehicles they will be able to more accurately diagnose your vehicles.

Throttle Body Temperature Sensor will be located in the top of the throttle body and the maf is just after the air filter box. I mentioned a few sensors before check to see if you have them and clean them with maf cleaner. As for stalling issues it is either spark or fuel related, Vacuum loss will usually cause a bad idle and air way sensors will also cause a bad idle. The belt needs replacement once every 90,000km along with the pulleys and water pump and thermostat. the only thing the belt would do is once it reaches near the end of its life it stretches out and becomes loose causing some minor idle issues and a minor lack of power when you hit the peddle. If the timing belt was causing the issue it would a snapped and the car would no longer run. Singlema i would have to say your mechanic took you for a ride. I had another question i answered answered by another person they said something about a computer being faulty which was causing this issue. jsut be sure to be ready to replace some control arms if they remove the hubs because torchs wll become the order of the day and this in turn ruins the boots on the upper control arms if they are not carfull but if you have not had control arms done recently you may find loosening the bolts may be a problem so may be better to have a shop do it since they can get the bolts losened easer then you will. for my car i took the whole hub out in the front and took it to a shop to have it done. you can have some one stop the oppistie side by holding it since the dynamic system will make the other wheel pick up the slack for the wheel stopped. then turn your car on and put it in drive let the cars wheels turn and use your ear to find which one is making the humming noise by going to each wheel in turn. BE carefull doing this as it can be dangerous if your car falls down from improper hold points on the jacks. the best way to find which side is making the noise try jacking the car up off all four wheels and on jack stands. Normaly if you have 1 bad wheel bearing you replace both regardless if the other is bad since the other side is most likely to go out soon to follow later.
