My god, after 8 years this fix is still doing the rounds online and working well. Superb! I keep seeing videos on YouTube too, keep up the good work folks, just saw the thread linked on another forum and thought I'd drop in and say hi. Cheers, EvilScotsman ;)

lol I get ya. I just like tinkering with 90's TDI's but sometimes things need more explanation. I try not to be too stuffy and have a laugh tho.

lol cheers man, I'm an electronics engineer, in process control & automated machinery so I have worked in a few chemical plants or similar like paper mills, power stations etc and so you have to find stuff to work in some difficult areas, they use a list of preferred chemicals for certain tasks...

very well put Tom. Folks, what sticks, is the ring the actuator operates on, and it usually sticks in the full boost position with the vanes closed (well pointing to the hotwheel / exducer) - hence when you use MM to soften and absorb the carbon, you should be able to get the actuator arm...

Had an idea... I can drop the money into him first and when he tells u its there you could post em then if you like. That way you get the money when he gets over - Whatever you think, I would have em sooner than later if poss but if not its cool ;) Anyway the weekend is fine cos I can't fit em...

ok any details just pm me mate, I heard of that street but maybe better to edit that post and delete the info. either way is cool - picking em up in Rostie is just as easy. ;)

If you can find out the street, or if you want me to pay in paypal to you and send em in the post, its all good.

heheh I work in Rosyth, that would make life a whole lot easier mate! :) I am actually a Space Cowboy, hence I forgot it was you who had them....too many mis-spent teen years on the Puff......

damn I forgot about both of those! Ok hunt is on. now on a more important matter - my rev counter doesnt work....I think the clocks in the car are from a petrol B4 the part number is 8A0 919 035 and I cant find any mention of that number other than on petrol models, they also have a...

true, I have scanned ebay but so far theyre either wanting an arm and a leg or only have one wheel. never thought about fordies tho.

yah wheels definitely needed. either multispoke, or something but not sure and funds limited at the moment, if a cheap set come up I'll grab em tho 4x108 is not so common nowadays. I stuck a set of avus style wheel trims on in black for now, not sure if I like em better than the steelies but...

have to agree, I reckon I lost a 3 year old 1.8T A4 to flush, it went bang shortly after and I never touched flushes again. they dislodge stuff you want dissolved slowly, and it can block oilways and the filter, as Aragorn says use a tdi oil with detergent and it will naturally dissolve...

Heres the 1z beast:

yaaaay lol yeah the silver one

across the roundabout from the swimmin pool, straight down and turn right, drive past the tip entrance, next left and straight on there's 3 breakers down there but henry russell is the only one worth bothering with. Glen breakers is always shut and pete's never want to sell anything.

yeah well on my AFN you could see the actuator drum upside down next to the turbo, a lever sticks out of its underside and thats the one you want to get freed and moving again. I did post pics early on of it somewhere on page one of the thread? Oh look a guy above has a good pic, the drum...

yeah have to agree interior is nicer in the b5 but the facelift b4 is still good. Also agree that the Audi Avants are the nicest estates you can get. They really suit it and the proportions are perfect. One of our senior bosses has a 57 plate RS4 Avant and holy sh1t I would give lots to own...

heyyy now that sounds like my kinda deal but seriously PM me with a price bro and I'll buy them. ;) My ambition is to find, and fit, an S2 interior (avant not coupe cos mine is a saloon) - OMG its so beautiful, it deserves to be in my 80. 'Nuff said lol My daughters man works in one of the...

hahha cheers brother, I just passed on what I tried when mine went wrong, Im so glad its helped so many people over the last 3 years! I love turbo-diesels. Im an electronics engineer, and my Uncle Jackie was a bus mechanic, he got me interested in diesels and particulary TD's at teh age of 9 -...
