    allroad suspension compressor

    just done the compressor fix on my 2004 allroad (seals etc). Problem I have is with the metal dust cover that I had to remove to get to the compressor. Its fixings were so well rusted/corroded etc that the only way I could remove it was to pull it off and "tear" it off its bolts that mount it...

    Another problem with my 2.5tdi V6 - Aux belt.

    Been running perfectly until I started it last night when out. Horrendous squealing belt noise and engine juddering. Took top covers off and cam belts looked ok thank goodness but it was dark and had no tools so had to resort to the AA (who I couldn't praise enough). Anyway, AA found the main...

    a6 allroad 2.5tdi v6 2004

    in the last few weeks car has started "whining" at about 2000rpm, stops above this. it sounds like the turbo but louder than normal, if I disconnect the vacuum hose to the turbo it still makes it so I assume its not the turbo. it is less noisy if the aircon is not switched on but is still...

    2.5tdi v6 tweaking timing

    Just wondering if its better to be slightly advanced or delayed timing when adjusting the timing for the injection pump on VAGCOM. Obviously it needs to be "within spec" but is there an optimal setting for economy/performance. I don't know if I am imagining it but I moved it to slightly advanced...

    2004 Allroad suspension bushes

    Noticed my lower arm suspension bushes (engine end of strut) are cracked. Concerned this may be a MOT failure. Seems easy enough to replace entire arm but they are rather expensive. I have noticed you can buy just the bushes from euro car parts for a fraction of the cost. How easy (or even...

    2.5 tdi V6 - what engine oil?

    I replace my oil & filter every 10,000 miles as I believe long life service is asking for trouble. Whilst it is quite easy to find an oil up to VAG standards 502.00/505.00 what grade is best to use? I can never decide. Prices vary massively depending on grade. I am wanting something that is best...

Coolant seems to be slighlty cooler (85 degrees, not 90) now its blanked. Or should I replace the EGR valve and have the car as its...
