I was looking at taking my injectors for a vapor test, I'm getting some smoke, anyway the only tool you see advertised is a 27mm socket, but i cant see the base of them or even remove the black rubber seal. The injector also has a 15mm flat is that the way to remove them ? I was also looking...

So the general thought is "don't fix what isn't faulty" looks like i'll reconnect the driveshaft get a refund on the oil seal and pump in some fully synthetic 75W90... think thats the same as the audi gear oil (quattro diff ??).... maybe attack again when something really serious happend in...

To be honest its probably not leaking that bad and if it is an real pain to disassemble i might just reconnect the driveshaft and just top it up now and then ??? seems a shame now i have a new oil seal in my hand.

I've an oil leak on the passenger side rear driveshaft where it connects to the rear Diff. Anway I've removed the six allen key bolts and now stuck - can't prise driveshaft of to get to oil seal.... do I really need to remove exhaust, driveshaft etc ? I was hoping to prise it sideways to get...

Thanks for all the tips - got the spring of in the end, my new Ebay spring has white white pink pink markings, its a high strength, as its got a towbar makes sense, I'm having troubles compressing it with just two coil compressors - any other tricks out there like using the weight of the car to...

Audi free dealer MOT noted a broken rear spring.... I laughed at the price... I'll do it myself... however after removing the bottom 19mm nut on the shock absorber I'm stuck, even with my coil compressors on I can't see a way of slippping broken spring of shock, is it normal to remove the shock...

Thanks for the advice everyone - I've been in touch with Adam, mines a quattro 2.5 diesel, if its a 2WD I'm sure rear springs ain't the same as thats the problem in trying to find the new. I'm not that interested in lowering as where I park is very bumby and underside scuffs etc. So two...

I noticed a half turn of my rear spring had snapped of my A4 2000 2.5 TDI Quattro AVANT, I'm finding it hard to locate the quattro rear springs - any thought - might even take a breakers one. I don't feel like lowering the car just a standard spring should do, any adviced and can you use...

My B5 V6 TDi Quatto is dangerously slow at roundabouts.... you see a gap put the foot down but wait a few seconds for the power to kick in. I've been blaming the gearbox thinking this is just the way autos are, but thinking about it there a no revs occuring so it's more likely turbo lag ...

Hi, Whenever I try and get of in a hurry at the lights I leave an embarrisingly large black cloud behind me ! Otherwise car seems fine - it passed the MOT emissions OK last month and the MPG is acceptable - but not that good anyway on the V6. My thoughts are Piston Wear or Injectors needing new...

Every year its a good idea to drain the diesel fuel filter incase water has got in. Usually you undo a thread at the bottom of the filter. Is this the case with the V6 TDI - it's just very hard to get to the bottom or do you drain it by sucking out from the 8mm nut that is the air lock...

I just had the number plate upper Trim replaced on my Y reg Avant ie where the two number plate lights go in. I had to pay 30% of the cost as they said it was not a main body part but 'semi trim'. It's a 12 year warrenty with no need for inspection visits or servicing by Audi - if its a main...

I've noticed the red ATF dripping from the very rear of the auto gearbox as it heads to the rear wheels / propshaft. I'm going on an Autobahn trip Friday so going to top it up by using a 17 mm allen key and a clean hose with the ATF bottle on roof (proper Audi Fully Synth ATF). I've heard...

I just found out i had cracked a plastic two way pipe ontop of filter so loads of air was getting in so of to stealer to get one. I'm sure my pump in tank is faulty but must have been like that for ages ??

I've tried the bleed screw thanks - I put in an temp 12v electric drill pump on the fuel line and managed to start it. it ran it for 3 mins, i then tried to take pump out of situ and engine stalled / could not restart, I will try with charged battery AM. I really think this electric pump in...

2.5 TDI Quattro was running perfect.... all i did was change the fuel filter... now the car won't start. I've gone through two batteries cranking it over upon investigarion I see the electric pump in the tank is suspect. Wiring it up to 12v it makes a humming noise, but with the large output...

Hi, I have a 2001 2.5 TDI quattro it a late B5 July 2001 (I thought it was a B6 as it has perspex lights etc but not so!), with all the empasis on CO2 nowaday I'm surpised to see the DVLA log book showing 232g ie above the 225g top end. As the B6 180 & 150 models seem to stay under 225 is that...
