I guess this is more for the classifieds but given the lack of activity on this section of the forum I guess it shouldn't matter. After 11 years of ownership we need this motor gone,1993 16v,full engine rebuild 3 years ago but the paint is starting to fail and lack of mot or tax means it's not...

thanks for the responses chaps.the s4 bumper took a while to source as did the front but it pays to scour the bay and look for mis sold stuff.heh heh. i still think i will go for the oem sensor bits as i already have the four sensors for the bumper,i have seen control units go for £50 on the...

i am waiting to put on a rear s4 bumper on my b6 tdi avant,only thing is is that the bumper has the holes for the sensors,i already have the set of sensors to go with it but nothing else.can anyone tell me the individual parts list that i need to complete the job including part numbers.i know...

I have started to change all of the suspension arms on my 2.5 tdi but the age old problem of the upper pinch bolt for the two arms has completely seized up and to top it off when drilling it out the bit snapped off in the hole and there is no chance of it coming out.b*ollocks! So question is...

Cheers qj for the response,i have no idea if the ait is embedded into the maf or even if the fuel sensor is part of the float device,i've ordered a new sender for the fuel just in case. Does anyone know where i can get hold of a maf sensor for reasonable money,a second hand unit will do but how...

Hi to all,i have performed a scan with vcds and it has come up with 6 fault codes on my a4 2001 2.5tdi 180 q. some i have managed to locate while others not:- code 00553 (G70) code 00523 (G42) code 01441 (G210) i roughly know what the fault is but i cannot find the individual vag part...

This is something i have always pondered,if my a4 has an offset of 43 and the a3 wheels are 54 then yes there is a difference of 11,but given that the a3 wheels are 7.5 as opposed to 8 inches then there is roughly 13mm difference in wheel width alone,so where does this 13mm go? Is it split 6.5mm...

Beautiful car Az ,the s4 look goes well on the ol' v6 tdi,how is the back end for soot marks now you have the twin exit exhaust? And by the way,is that a cupra splitter on the front 'cos i've not seen one on an s4 front bumper before.

Posed the very same question to the local stealer myself! and the answer is................No. I'm afraid you have to buy a complete new lid. From memory it was £43 inc vat for a soul black cloth unit. Everytime i move mine upright a load of toffee wrappers and diesel receipts fall into the...

Hi James,yeah if you could find the part no. that would be great,like you said finding a good'un will be tricky,i had no idea how bad these can get.Mine has all but disintegrated. Cheers Rob

I 'm glad someone with the same colour car has actually painted their grilles black,i was unsure whether black surrounds looked as good as the chrome variety on silver/grey cars. I think it's loads better.On the subject of pressed plates my missus has had them on her coupe for three years now...

What a prize bellend! How come he isn't wearing the burberry cap? I think his impreza must be parked somewhere else.

Take a breville sandwich maker,turn it into 12v and lob in under each seat! Et voila.

The S4 grill is a bit deeper than the s-line version,and it also has a more protruding set of vertical bars which are painted in silver.Neither are cheap tho'

Cheers James,always helpful! I did just manage to find an American site which displayed the colours in the years they were manufactured and shows the Canvas biege to be a grey like colour a bit like mine.
