Oh yes, I know now. A bit late seeing your reply also, don't seem to get any notifications. You still in Bishampton, haven't seen you around. Next time you see me say Hi & remind me......lol
Brilliant, just the info I needed to know. I've ordered that original seal as I didn't fancy paying £240 for the new modified seal & flange. Also ordered the correct oil now G 052 145 S2.
Thanks

Hi,
I'm having the rear flange seal changed on the back of the gearbox due to a leak but don't know what oil it uses. Is the center diff part of the auto box & shares the same fluid it does it have separate diff oil, also where to fill?
Car is a 2000 S6 Quattro.
I managed to get a friend to take a look at it on a 2 post ramp free wheeling. We span it up & could hear the noise coming from the prop, a rattling noise. There was also quite a bit of play in the prop.
I've just been on a 300mile round trip to Devon & on the way down I could hear a funny noise but very hard to describe exactly. It kinda sounds like a faint squealing/clicking noise. When in drive you can hear it if you let off the accelerator pedal but as soon as you put your foot down even a...
I got my Mum an A4 3.0 Quattro cab 2004 some months back, although she has been happy with it she's not happy about the fuel economy. I told her that it's a 3.0 litre Quattro & will use quite a bit of fuel but she says it's using so much more than her Merc 320 SL. She then told me how much she...
I did an oil change the other day using some free 0-30w Castrol fully synthetic that I got off a friend. Since doing the oil change the engine sounds noisier, like a ticking noise that I didn't hear before.
Is this too thin for an engine that now has 133k on it?
Have now checked to see if the drivers door shows as open on the LCD display & it does not. All other doors show as open except the drivers door. Where is this micro switch located & how much was it?
How did you know the microswitch wasn't working, is there a way to test it before shelling out for a new lock etc? My LCD display is on the way out but haven't noticed it showing the door open.
We used to get 32mpg according to the DIS in our old allroad. That was mainly the misses driving to work & back on back country roads & she drives slow, couldn't get it any higher that that.
I have exact same problem with my passenger side window. Sometimes it goes up no problem, other times it seems to struggle to go up, gets half way for example then goes back down again automatically.
I'm also wondering what oil to use when I replace it all, pretty sure fully synthetic is what I should use but not so sure it is best for an older engine as it's thinner than semi I believe.
We should all really change our oil as soon as it turns black which I'd imagine is way before a service...
I did my grey S6 in red, happy with it & is the same color as RS6 & somebody I know has red calipers from factory on his 2010 Octavia VRS so I decided to go with red myself. Mine looked terrible to begin with as the previous owner had tried to refurb the wheels & sprayed silver paint everywhere...
