Oh yeah and whilst I remember …..Pinch bolt, that was a MF to get off.... I needed heat in the end

When you say rebuilding the suspension, are we talking just the control arms and links etc or springs and gas struts ? I did control arms and links on mine and used the Meyle HD and it was an excellent bit of kit as I'm sure the Lemforder is but I just couldn't justify the extra price

Hi .. as the title says I'm fitting a second hand turbo to a 1.9tdi .. the reason being I will be selling it on later in the year and don't want to throw silly money at it .. the replacement I've got seems to be in good condition but obviously has old oil in it ..would you leave it as is or...

I got a box that has all the exact same gear ratios and importantly same final drive as my old box.... it's basically identical other than the new box has a speedo sensor where as my old box doesn't . mine must get its speedo reading elsewhere, had a quick drive round the block tonight and it...

Well the old box is out and a replacement now back on the splines with a couple of bolts in.... should get the subframe and everything else sorted by the end of play tomorrow.... Can I just say... A4 Quattro gearbox with transfer & diff.... VERY HEAVY not easy on your own with just jacks...

To be honest I've never checked the level.. is it the same as the old cars where you just fill from the top bung untill it overflows? I never noticed any leaks when i park up but whilst under the car tonight investigating i did see that the very rear of the gear box where the propshaft comes...

Not looking good, :( ... drove home tonight and whilst it's not got any louder after 40 miles on the motorway there was quite a strong smell of gearbox oil in the cabin at the end of my journey so i'm guessing a bearing has failed and it's getting hot, anyone any idea how many miles you get...

Hi all, I have a 1.9 TDi Avant Quattro now on 180,000 miles the last 100,000 of which have all been motorway driving , last night on my way home I noticed a slight humming or buzzing sound the faster I went not a whine, below 50mph it's totally silent , I was at first inclined to think it's a...

2002 1.9 Tdi Quattro has one....plinth is in a right state though :(

I had mine changed 3 years ago by Darkside, same as your's AVF , fairly sure it was just a bog standard LUK kit and it's on a remapped engine 163BHP been fine and I've put 80,000 on it so far

1.9 Tdi with a Blacksmoke remap, pulls like a train and returns good mpg, I have a 180 bhp 1.8t in a A3 and it's quite thirsty and not much faster than my A4 Tdi infact round town low down I would say the a4 has the edge with all that Torque

Hi Adam.... Thanks for your kind offer I'll bear you in mind if I have future problems , However I got to investigate the car myself today and it turns out one of the boost pipes had come unclipped, Kids ehh, who'd have em ,, anyway clipped back on and all is good... happy days and an easy fix

If you could Adam that would be great, I would imagine it's going to be a week or 2 before he gets any money together, we have a local Audi Breaker so I would probably try and use them as at least I can look at it before committing and more chance of them swapping it if I end up with another...

When you say it needs setting on a flow bench do you mean any kind of cartridge ? ... if that's the case I'm just gonna try and find a good second hand genuine ... the cars only worth about 1500 at best

I've not seen the car yet but from what he's said lots of Blue/Black smoke suddenly and he noticed a whining noise last week which he neglected to tell me about

Just had a phone call off my Lad and it sounds like the turbo has expired on his A4 TDi AWX.... I'm fine with the spanners but need to get this sorted for him as cheap as possible ... I see lots of cartridges for sale on eBay but i'm guessing they are all made of Chinese Pig Iron and will...

DMF tends to make a rattling sound on tickover and vibrations through the clutch pedal..... if your going to get it done i would stay away from a solid flywheel conversion on a diesel... fine for petrol but i've heard lots of bad things when fitted to a diesel

It gets asked many times if it's ok to use asda fully synthetic oil in our PD tdi engines and normally the answer comes back as No because it doesn't meet or exceed vw spec ... But what about this VAG specific stuff they now sell ? Please say yes because I've just chucked a gallon in the avant

When you say the cam timing is spot on and it's been checked 3 times to the tools..... this is just the starting point for checking the timing , the tools lock all the pulleys in the correct place , however it will still need fine tuning to set the Torsion value, this is a reading taken whilst...

I went with Meyle HD last xmas for the front ...purely on cost and recommendation off this site , the Lemforder was out of my price range at the time.. I spent a day on each corner and had problems with the pinch bolt and one particularly stubborn ball joint and yes it all came with bolts +...
