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...
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...
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...
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...
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)

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...
Hi all just joined I've got a 06 plate A4 DTM and I'm always interested in car meets when I'm free! I'm from just off of J28 of the M1, work at a garage there also so you know where to go for general needs
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...
Yes mate that was me! I've owned it a few months but finally decided to get some online prescence, been reading these forums top to bottom for years and decided that I might as well add my own mark
