Thought it worth adding my two penneth as there seems to be quite a lot of different views on what cat C and D are. The most accurate description I can find and agree with is that generally speaking a category C write-off is one where the cost to repair was more than the value of the car and a...
I'm looking to buy a cycle rack for 2 mountain bikes for my A3 2006 sportback 2.0tdi, it is a sport model so doesn't have the bigger roof spoiler (although I would like to fit one at some point) and I would like to mount it on the tailgate not the roof.
Anyone had any good/bad experiences with...
Great write up, I changed one of my folding mirrors and had to take the door frame and glass out as the wiring was clipped onto it and I couldn't free it. I like the idea of taking the pins out of the connector, may have saved me a load of work.
Its good to see well written write ups with clear...
Thanks for the replies everyone, think I'll do as devonmikeyboy suggests and just cut the cat out and replace with straight piece of pipe for now, if I make it sectional with flanges it gives me options later. I looked at the Jetex site and they do a "sports" cat that I could fit by the looks of...
Anyone know of anywhere I can get a decat downpipe for the TDI Quattro, asked Miltek and they don't do one. Going to fit a hybrid turbo soon so would like to decat at the same time before I get a remap to get the best from it. If I have to, I can decat it myself but would prefer to buy the...
I'm wanting to replace the cloth seats in my A3 2.0 tdi sport quattro 5 door with leather if possible. Straight swap options seem to be S line leather interior or S3 leather interior.
I've seen a few threads about fitting other seats such as from the A5, can anyone advise whether this is an...
Checked on price of loom (didn't buy one yet) and they are £68.57 + vat minus whatever discount you get at TPS
out of interest, prices for propshaft couplings/brgs are (exlusive of vat)
Rear £209.91
Front £65.55
Centre £89.43
Checked all the parts of the prop and they "look" fine, going to...
Thanks, I'll check that tomorrow, would have thought out of balance would be related to road speed not engine speed but the thread you highlighted does seem to have loads of people with very similar sounding issues so it may just be a quirk of particular engine speed highlighting a problem with...
Thanks, for the responce, I did look at this as a possible cause, I had read all the threads on the electical loom fault but most of them refer to the 2.0 TDI 170, sounds like it's worth trying as a first step (cheaper than engine mounts or clutch!). I had a similar fault with an A2 TDI but that...
I've noticed a bad vibration/drumming coming from the car when accelerating in 4th 5th and 6th gear. It happens around the same rev range (just over 2000 rpm up to 2400rpm) in each gear.
I don't have any strange noises at idle or when I start the car, clutch seems fine and it runs sweet as a...
Hi, I had a similar thing happen on my 2.0TDI quattro, mine were plastic so yours are presumably the same and fit it a hole bored in the hub carrier. I managed to get mine out by gripping the last bit carefully with the wire cutting bit of a pair of pliers and levering it out like removing a...
