Thanks bud, ideally looking at 235's and might have found someone with a set of 4 contis. Where are you located? Fair price for what they are, shouldn't have left it this late in the year to sort but thought I had a pair in the garage, alas a puncture has got one!

Hi All, After a set of winter tyres for all corners on my b7. Can either be 17" or 18" fitment as have alloys to fit them to, would also consider wheels and tyres setup. TIA!

As title found myself back in a b7 for the third time, after a year or two break. After some maintenance and cosmetic tweaks ill be looking to go stage 2. Ideally after a AIRTEC intercooler or complete with piping to drop straight on, also looking for HFC + maybe exhaust. Thanks all, happy to be...

Driving along in the A6 with an empty trailer when all of a sudden what sounded like a line blowing off or a seal blowing somewhere, the car then dumps a load of oil and smoke, loses power and the turbo starts sounding awful. Anyway got it towed home, checked the turbo briefly for play and all...

I'ts a 2001 AKE engine, the knock seems to disappear while revving. Its not like a crazy rod knock or anything and can't really be noticed in the cabin.

Have done, so far just a load of electrical codes. Central locking, air level, radio and some others. Was doing an engine scan while idling but VCDS crashed, will take a look this afternoon and send some codes.

Morning all, Have just bought a c5 allroad with a 2.5tdi and some problematic electrics. I replaced a couple of dodgy window regulators and the battery ran down, its been low and struggling to charge but the battery works fine. The other day when driving back from work the engine sounded a...

HI all, anyone know if the DIS screen on the dashboard is the same in a b7 (05) and a c5 allroad (01). Parts look to be the same on just a visual inspection, was gunna take a look at changing them today as I have a breaker b7 in the shed.

Hi all, just about to get my first c5 (2.5 allroad) after a load of b7's, are many parts interchangable from the 2 or are they completely different in design? Are the wheels the same rolling radius and offset? Basically I have parted a couple of b7's out (as well as one on the drive at the...

Oh right, so the hex key is not a part of the oil pump assembly then? I was under the assumption the BLB engine code does not fit the OEM gear driven unit added to later cars, so this must have already been converted to a gear setup? Maybe I linked the wrong item but I was sure there was some...

Good morning, oil tester just arrived this morning after a bit of a wait, I have it on the plug at the moment and just waiting for the car to charge. I was having a look at the replacement pumps should that be the problem and the complete unit seems to be the route for ease of assembly and no...

Ok thanks all, first off it was recovered as I told her not to drive it back with pressure light. I know oil pump fail is the classic, in fact @Gazwould mentioned in a thread the other week about 'prevention better than cure' to the point where I almost replaced with the uprated one this...

Hi all, As above I have a 2005 2.0 tdi 140, the missus was driving today and had to top up the oil a bit, after driving for a minute the oil pressure light came on. Car is back here now and idles a little lumpy but not too bad. The car is a couple of k past due for a service, any chance the...

Worth getting some breaker OEMs? Is the corrosion through the metal itself or just paint bubbles? A decent bodyshop should match the colour correctly and if the surface is not in bad nic a repair to the originals should be pretty reasonable and any good paintshop would re-lacquer the wings and...

Ive got 2x b7 2005 avants, one 2.0tdi and a 2.0t Q - I know the tdi 140's get really bad press with oil pump failure and pretty much every forum seems to slate them but mine still gets me 62mpg while driving frugally and doesn't want for too much except the pricy oil compared to the missus' polo...

Had the same dilemma with my 2.0tdi 140, turned out the last person to change had written the miles on the bottom of the plastic belt cover, if nothing is on it at all I would have thought more signs pointing to the original being on there.

I you press the service button does it tell you? Not sure if mine tells me on start everytime, only when a service is imminent.

Oh yeah? Presumably more potential power means less potential mpg? Will it suffer overall loss in economy of driven gently? I heard a few people saying stage one could increase your economy, doing less with more kind of thing on forums and such. I'm not overly worried about eco as I've got a tdi...

Will get one for you tonight mate

Anyone sure of how an ebay front mount or something a little more uprated would work out, saw a guy selling a treadstone performance inter on the classifieds here for example? Im guessing as im shooting for under 300hp is not much of an ask for some intercoolers, is it even entirely necessary...
