    From A4 to A5 - Hi to all in this section

    Hi All I have just picked up a 57 plate 2008 3.0 Quattro 2 door coupe and am finally getting rid of my B5s. I don't know what I'm going to do yet, but will keep you all posted with any progression.

    Finished with the B5s

    Hi All, After 6 years, I'm now done with the B5s. :cry::disrelieved: I have got myself an A5 3.0, and the wife has her 3.0 Allroad. The blue saloon is going to the auctions, and the Maroon Estate will get broken/sent to scrappies. Anybody interested in either/both let me know before tomorrow...

    VCDS KII on other marques

    I have a genuine KII lead from RossTech, and have used it on my B5s quite happily for a good while now. I have also scanned a couple of mates non-VAG cars using the OBDII screen - again no problem. (One was a 1999 Bentley Arnage, the other a 2002 Ka using 11.xx.xx VCDS) However, I tried to...

    Not Again!

    Oh well, Going in to work this morning and it appears the Avant dropped a valve. Nasty noises, seized (not turning over) engine and oil on the floor. :sob: Just to add to the joy, my one is off the road at the moment whilst I get around to the timing belts and ancillaries. The alternator...

    Alternator charging issues

    I am having issues with the charging system on the Avant (2.5TDi Q) that appear to have been ongoing for a while! When I start the car, the battery voltage stabilises at about 12v(reading the dashboard ammeter) for a couple of seconds, and then comes up to 14v. The time it takes to come up...

    .....and some more

    Tim decided to tie the knot with his long time girlfriend. One evening, a few months after the honeymoon, he was in the garage carefully loading some rifle ammo for an upcoming deer hunt. His wife stood there at the bench watching him. After along period of silence she finally spoke. "Honey...

    A couple more.........

    I heard that they found about 200 dead crows near Kirkwall, and there was concern that they may have died from Avian Flu. They had a Bird Pathologist examine the remains of all the crows, and he confirmed the problem was definitely NOT Avian Flu, to everyone's relief. However, he determined that...

    Alternator coming 'on-line' issue

    I'm now back to electronauting Mrs PaulFs' Avant. The problem is the alternator sometimes takes a long while to come on-line. On my saloon, I start the car, and the voltmeter drops to 10-12 volts or so. Once started, the battery recovers, and the voltage goes up to 12-13 volts. After a brief...

    Where to get good quality brake pistons?

    I'm having more fun with my two 2.5TDi Qs, and their constantly sticking brakes. On the Avant, I replaced both rear calipers using Audi bits, and both front calipers using bits from Brake Parts Superstore. This was over 6 months or so (as each one stuck!), completing the job about a year and a...

    Women!

    I arrived home from work and my girlfriend started punching and kicking me. "How could you?!" she screamed. "How fcuking could you?! You've fcuked my sister you *******!" "I'm sorry," I confessed. "I got to work and she was lying there...naked. I'm only human. What was I supposed to do?"...

    Copper Washers

    I just thought I'd post an old trick for recovering copper washers (such as around fuel lines or injector pipes) after dismantling unions. (As I didn't practise what it preach and had a leak recently.....) The copper will have most likely work-hardened, so hang it on some wire - or a crap...

    KII VCDS

    I've had a couple of members ask me to help out with coding on CAN Bus vehicles, and I've said I can't. With a KII line VCDS, can I do any coding on CAN bus car, or only read and clear fault codes. I know Ross-Tech have a capability list, but what upward functionality does the KII lead have?

    Air Con drain

    I'm looking to clear out the Air Con drain on the Avant in the next couple of days (wet carpet, smelly, plenums fine). Does anybody have pics of where it is from underneath? I've found a couple of write-ups, but they talk about going from inside. I'm hoping to poke about from underneath, but...

    2.5TDi Sluggish

    My wife has a 25TDi Avant, and she is sure it is not running right. It was not the best starting in the cold, but it would(we're talking down to -15). The MPGs are around 39-40. It sounds to me to have a bit more of a 'bark' than it should, as if the pump timing is a little advanced. It doesn't...
