I've just picked up an C5 S6 Avant with 7 seats from factory. Googling brought me here and what a great read this is. Any updates mate?

Some how, being a dib dob I wen't out to the car last night to grab something from under the bonnet and left my only key on the battery. I didn't realise until this morning (it was dark last night). Whats the easiest way in? Try and remove the grille and pop the bonnet? Its a 2006 Seat Leon...

Fuel pump sorted, hopefully cam will be sorted later too. Just a few more bits and I'll get it all back together :)

Extra thanks to you! I'll ping you a PM now. Tony.

Thanks chaps! :) 2006 Leon Sport TFSI with 137k miles, so its had a good innings really. Apart from this and below 4k revs, the engine is silky smooth, and quiet otherwise. Part list so far looks to be - Camshaft adjuster rings - 06f 198 107 a - x3 Camshaft (S3 one) - 06f 109 101 h Exhaust...

Not an Audi, but a Leon I have just purchased pretty cheap. I bought on the assumption it was a misfire at high revs, however, after stripping it down I found the following: Worn Cam lobe for fuel pump - Snapped bottom guide of tensioner - Plastic seals broken for Cam...

Right, where to start! :D First of all, I had the bits on order from eBay and TPS when I found a post on UK-MK4 forum where a chap said that the injector clamp bolts can stretch over time. I PM'd him for more info and he said that a friend of his is an Ex Master Tech at VW who now owns his...

Its fixed!!! Full post coming up :D

Ill add all of the images again here to keep the thread in line...

****! I've ****ed around with the privacy settings on photobucket and it has ruined all of the links to Images!!!

I think you confused my post there. I do not want to test the pressure of the Tandem pump or Injectors. Tandem pump puts out around 80-120Psi at 1500rpm, Injectors something stupid like 25000PSI! I want to compression test the engine, and on other PD's I have normally done this attaching the...

Whats an engine mount sensor? lol

Agreed, Could be that it had work done before you bought it, and coolant system was drained and refilled. A blast has shifted air round the system and it has an air lock. Have you got pics of the coolant tank and the scum that you mentioned?
