    Youth Restoring an A4 DTM TFSI

    With my 'On the road' date fast approaching I finally decided to tackle the vac pump oil leak that I'd been putting off for absolutely ages. Apparently its a rather common fault and the best solution is to replace with the newest revision part. This newest revision OEM part however is 300 quid...

    Depends on mileage, there were 2 on autotrader at the end of last year for £10k with 50k miles. I bought one of them seen a few on the market for £7k with under 100k miles. And then there's the higher mileage ones or ones that need some tlc that are anything from £3-6k There was also a black on...

    Youth Restoring an A4 DTM TFSI

    Whilst the delay with the cambelt parts was going on and the front end remaining removed I took the time to crack open my headlights and sort out those nasty noughties looking headlamps. I didn't want to go full NFS Underground but more of an OEM+ look. First steps were buying the paints and...

    Youth Restoring an A4 DTM TFSI

    Next up on the list was Cambelt, drivebelt and coolant tank. Removing the front end was a pretty straight forward process. I didn't remove the air con pipes put 2 tie wraps through the service position holes and gave myself a good few inches more working room. The hardest part was removing the...

    How easy was it to remove the engine mate, I'm a trained tec. Looks easier to remove the front end and bring it forward, or do you drop the subframe?

    Full service time, bought all the parts decided to go with nanodrive oil after reading up on countless hours of reviews and dyno sheets. Also included were uprated sparks, coolant tank, snub mount and a wrong size screen wash cap (Doh) Removed the spark plugs that were not in bad shape at all...

    Had the paintwork fixed on the OSF wing today, plus the rather subjectively fitted Sharfin removed. Much better. Wheels will have to wait a while yet.

    First thing on the list was remove all the underbody guards clean them all, clean all the wheel Wells, paint the disks and paint the wheel nut caps. (faded grey wasn't looking good)

    With all the work needing to be done, decided that I'd transport the car back home. Got the car transported up to me (was rather cool)

    Youth Restoring an A4 DTM TFSI

    I've owned this a few months, you can see my other introduction threads on the car itself. Basically 2 owners (both brothers) before myself. 50k miles and a heap of paperwork. The last owner was on the forums and did loads of maintenance so the car was mint.. Until he fell ill and since then the...

    young rider on 50cc scooters

    Take the polices new tactic on 'removing' the youth from his steed. Seriously though, he was obviously in the wrong and very blatantly rude about doing so, you know his reg and just put a word in at the local station. At least then it'll be on file if anything ever comes from it, or he gets...

    Just found this online posted by the old owner of the vehicle, he's also done a few oil changes since and fitted the latest revision PCV. At least now I know why my cam follower was so mint. Obviously I've replaced a lot of the parts he did back then since my ownership. Quick search of 'Audi dtm...
