    Brake Discs & Pads - recommendations please

    2.0 TDi 170 PD - What Oil?

    Hi Guys & Girls, I'm finding comments around the web that note that the 170 PD (and probably 140 PD) engines need a particular engine oil, rather than whatever is lying around the garage at the time. Does anyone know what oil should be used?

    Help! A4 Avant B7 170 DPF Full but suspect this isn't the real problem

    Hi Guys, My A4 Avant B7 170 has been out of action for nearly 2 weeks. Garage it's with have got 3 codes and can see that the DPF is full/blocked and obviously hasn't been regen-ing for some time.

    Hi Guys, Can anyone tell me where to find the VNT actuator module on my 2.0 TDI 170 (56 plate) please?
