ive got a Mondeo st 2.2 tdci (as well as an old vag) with 175k, still on original lower arms, just had drop links and shocks, drives amazingly all thinkgs considered, just a shame the 2.2 has no where near the punch of the 3.0 however it is significantly more reliable :neutral:

agreed, judder occurs at low revs high torque applications, usually at higher revs the torque is lower so you dont get judder. most mappers keep an original though so you can get it off them if you know who they are but im sure they will charge, if you have the kit you can get maps offline...

thats a B8 not b7, Your limit is the clutch, ive got one similar power with a brand new clutch and dmf and it still rumbles... the b8 has a duel clutch that enables you to get more power... If you do a proper search your goosed with the b7 manual, hence why bobby choose the b8 to tune im...

exactly, you will be separating the box from the engine anyway, i actually did my clutch too at the same time, as its bolted to the engine your sorted :chuncky: I did not remove the complete front end as the pics i believe i lowered the rad packs slightly (prob removed rad but left air con...

ive yet to see a b7 3.0 with dpf, mines a late 2006 not dpf, just take a pic of exhaust underneath i can soo tell you if it has one! the 'internet' tell you they all have them in reality that not accurate. think im breaking mine soon, so if you need any parts let me know, it works perfectly in...

I removed mine, just left box in car saved messing with all driveshafts, front end off car (think i left air con pump in car so no need to regas) and with front end removed so no need to lift it so high. Dont remember what i did with loom to be honest, i belive it stayed in the car. This...

is the inlet working properly, sound like the inlet valves are not swapping as they should, like old s16's/mi16s with the vac inlets!

IVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THAT when fitting new clutch, used to fit loads over the years, only thing i would say could cause that it a new clutch plate on an old/worn flywheel so its trying to bed into an already worn surface like new pads on worn disks. did they definitely swap the whole kit, i.e...

is that interior out of an s5?

The above is why i got a used front set of shafts off ebay in excellent condition... huge job saved, finding decent parts is a nightmare, i did track down the oe supplier off the boots but i cant remember off the top of my head, someone one ebay was selling them.

YOU CHECKED ALL INJECTOR SEATS ops caps

yes i can see a problem there! :chuncky:

i got mine out no problem just removed the heat shield, its very snug but possible was a pleasure to be able to do this as most cars you cant

WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE RACK, ops caps what were the symptoms?

sorry to be clear i got a set of very good genuine complete drive shafts left and right side for £75 off ebay, they had good boots on them so i just fitted them as they were, (gave em a nice clean up) that was 2 years ago and the still look spot on, as above spurious parts are often shit3, im...
