The engine has no compression because all the inlet valves are likely to be bent. If the engine has been turning and the cams not in time then the valves hit the piston. It's quite common for the cams to partially seize if there are oil pressure issues with the engine. The chain tensioner end of...

My build thread for my AVF Passat. Almost 10 years ago now but there you can fit a reasonable size FMIC behind the crash bar. I can't imagine a B6 A4 is goint to be too much different. I fitted a BV43 turbo to my car made around 210bhp in the end...

Congratulations on your purchase of an Ignitron, fantastic piece of kit I have had mine over 3.5 years. There isn't probably much specific to a B6 as the engines are fairly similar across all the platforms they are used in. There is a general thread on the forum already and lots of info and help...

Not good, hopefully not to expensive to sort. What caused the fire in the first place?.

Hope this helps.

The AVJ, BFB , AMB and BEX are all the same head with the exception of slightly different rocker covers which you can obviously swap. https://audi.7zap.com/en/rdw/audi+a4+s4+avant+quattro/a4q/2004-249/1/103-103055/#19

https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/karls-3-0-tdi-build-thread.204785/page-11#post-2710866 hybrid turbo, FMIC , decat , DPF removal 380 odd bhp and 750Nm . The B7 3.0 TDI is difficult to mod due to the turbo fitted being quite weak and not really upgradeable. B8 has a lot more going for it.

BV43 won't get you too 250bhp I ran one on my PD130 Passat and made around 215bhp . I am not sure about that hybrid seems to have a slightly larger compressor wheel but the turbine side is still stock and isn't that big really so EGT's will be high due to high exhaust manifold pressures. As Gaz...

Plan B. Other reasonably common issue is with the wiring loom that runs from the interior of the car through the rubber boot into the drivers door. The opening and closing over the many years can cause breaks in the wiring . This results in intermittent issues. If the wire that connects to the...

You have an issue with the CCM (Convenience Control Module) this controls the alarm, doors, interior lights, windows etc. In there infinite wisdom Audi decided to put it under the carpet in the front passenger footwell. Great until you get some kind of water leak in the car and the CCM ends up...

The BV50 turbo fitted to these cars does have issues with the actuator that leads to issues like you have. It is possible that other issues could be causing the problems such as boost leaks or a MAP sensor issue but the fault codes include over and under boost and a boost leak won't cause an...

Michelin Pilot sport 4 or 4s have pretty good alloy protection.

You need to follow the brake vacuum pipe from the servo and check for splits and leaks back to where it connects on the engine.

Quantum Platinum spec oil has effectively been superceded by Quantum Long life 3 which is a 504/507 spec oil. You are correct to be wary about the very high point loadings created with a PD engine between the cam and the injector however the 504/507 spec LL3 is a better all round oil than 505.01...

I did say that would happen as there are two calibration tables for the injector BIP values and voltage calibration and they are different between the ARL injectors and the standard injectors. If your tuner uses a base map off a car with ARL injectors then you will be OK, alternatively he could...

I don't understand why people put a car in for an MOT with 3 illegal tyres and the ABS warning light on. I take it you have bought It cheap because the previous owner couldn't be bothered to fix it?. The VCDS fault refers to the wheel speed sensor on the OSR and is not something the MOT station...

The injectors would have been OK sprayed with a bit of WD40 and put in a plastic bag. They are not stored in oil or anything fancy like that if you buy them. You need to make sure you clean up the electrical contacts throughly before you use them. Audi ECU's are not protected from the factory...

It's £102 at car parts for less. Same parts less discount but pretty much always cheaper as they have no real shops. Car parts for less is the on line version of ECP. Only down side is you can't pick up the parts from the shop it's delivery only. OP never asked for cambelt anyway. They do a...

I wouldn't have an issue using Febi. In fact I looked at replacing the tensioner when I rebuilt my TT engine recently. Found this Febi kit that looks very good value. Everything you need to change the tensioner in one kit for less than £260. https://www.autodoc.co.uk/febi-bilstein/7995458 You...

Search on Ebay with 8E0857536 This is the main part of the part number for a drivers side mirror for your car. Cheapest solution just fit a normal heated mirror. Second hand items appear to be available but whether they would be any better and for how long who knows. You could try Mike at ***...
