Right folks. So it turns out the p.s fluid leak is from my steering rack, and seeing as the clutch is still useable at present and the rack isnt I think the sensible approach for me right now is to deal with the rack first before going any further with the clutch scenario. To be continued........

Would love to Rob, but that's just a tad more of a stretch than I'm prepared for lol. I really should have thought about quattro before buying the car. Maybe if I hadn't put so much effort into it so far I might have sold it and bought one, but the way things are going you never know......it...

My thoughts exactly :chuncky: Will update the thread with any other findings and how I get on. Would be great if there was someone on here thats done it and could say categoricaly yay or nay though. What I think I'll do is strip mine out and compare it to the RS4 one I looked at today.

Thanks bud. I think it's worth finding out as well, not just for me but for all other tfsi owners looking for a budget clutch upgrade. Was looking at Sachs Xtend kits online there. Part numbers are one digit different. Both are 240mm diameter with 23 teeth and pressure plates physically look...

@Metalsmurf. Im only 2wd but been told that a standard clutch won't last long with stage 1, and I would like to try and make stage 2 at some point. If things stop breaking that is.... And to add to things it's literally just blown a power steering hose or pipe today while I was out as well...

Cheers bud. Had a look but can't see an adapter. Have seen a few smf upgrade kits, and 3piece kits. The ECS RA4 conversion kit looks good but it's the best part of £900, to be fair though I think thats a good price for what you get, just don't have £900 sitting right now. Im just back from...

Hi all. Has anyone done this or heard of it done successfully? I think my clutch is on its road out and I plan to have the car remapped soon so I might as well upgrade it, but don't want to spend a small fortune. I've done some research and I believe a standard RS4 kit without dmf will...

Good evening folks, looking for a bit of advice here regarding the engine management light on my A4 B7 2.0 tfsi. So basically at the weekend after cleaning and checking over a few bits and bobs on my car I decided it would be a good idea to remove and drain oil from the intercooler pipes and...

Haha, that sounds like some good logic right there mate, also a good excuse for a complete engine build :sweatsmile:. Think you should be fine though. That said, I'm much more observant of the road surfaces now, even sit well back from cars in front too so I can see further ahead incase evasive...

Yeah 19's bud, but I get why you ask as I was thinking today when looking at it that they don't look like 19's anymore. Maybe need to looking for 20's now lol.

Some pictures as requested, some before and some after. Last 3 are after. Also had to crop the life out of the pictures to upload Rear hasn't gone down a great deal but over all I'm happy. Seems like a good safe drop all round, looks better, drives slightly better and should still allow me to...

You hit the nail on the head Rob. That is the exact plan for the rest of the night :icon thumright: Definitely gets easier, even noticed just going from the nearside rear last night to the offside rear tonight that it was easier.

Didn't do a great deal of miles with just the front down. Did go over some speed bumps though and it was fine. Although they were full width ones and not the partial pyramid with the top off type ones. Also I'm running without an under tray. After I do some more miles in the car I will let you...

Same here, think I threw the dictionary of swear words at them during the process:tearsofjoy:. On a positive that's it finally all done as of 15 minutes ago. Yay... Think I'll wake up tomorrow with the cold, the flu, pneumonia, and arthritis all rolled into one.... the weather hasn't been very...

Thanks Rob, should be sitting nice when its all done and fully settled:grin: Done the N/S/R after work tonight, and wasn't too bad to do. Hoping to get the O/S done tomorrow night or Saturday (weather permitting) :tearsofjoy:

Done about 60 miles with just the fronts on so it did settled a bit more than you see above. Will post more pics soon as it's all done.

Only of the front end so far. It's been a ballache of a job tbh, she's fought with me tooth and nail haha... (Pinch bolt issues):persevere: Im currently 3/4 of the way through though and have the rear up on stands at present. Weather permitting It should be finished this Saturday then I can...

Thanks Rob. Think I'll definitely leave the top ones on the offside alone, esp as I was only doing them out if preference lol. Currently have the nearside off as an assembly. Pinch bolt for track rod end was aslo siezed though so had to unscrew that from the inner rack link to get the lot off...

I'm doing all of mine upper and lower, and fitting lowering springs. The n/s lower front arm came off ok. And got the rear one loose ok. Yet to tackle the o/s. Wish I had just dropped the whole unit as an assembly though and left the top arms alone as they're actually not that bad, but I had...

Excellenty thanks.:icon thumright: I'll have a read at that link when I finish work. Have found another on eBay a B7 2.0tdi which looks fairly fresh so hopefully that will fit. Oh Pinch bolt you say..... That's the reason i need a new one lol, well maybe more like the fact that I broke the lug...
