    Where is my starter motor located?

    My starter motor has gone and needs replacing. Had a search and found a post saying that it is located under the air box on an a3 (I was hoping the a4 was identical) but I've removed my air box and it's nowhere to be seen :( I assume the a3 has a transverse engine layout? Can't see anything...

    2.0 tdi 170, do you get a whoosh?

    No the car is standard other than the filter, although i think i could still hear the slight whistle before. The turbo has been replaced in the past but just for a standard unit. Im wanting to get a remap and dpf/egr delete in the future but need to make sure there's no other problems that will...

    2.0 tdi 170, do you get a whoosh?

    Bump, any help on this? Smoke seems to have died down after a good run last night. Still unsure whether the turbo noise is normal or whether there may be a leak? Do you get a whistle from low revs?

    2.0 tdi 170, do you get a whoosh?

    Hi, Do you get a slight whistle when boost comes in on your 2.0tdi 170 engine? I've noticed it ever since i bought the car and thought it was just normal (i do have a K&N panel filter fitted). Now im starting to wonder whether it should be doing it or not. Its only really noticeable with the...

    2.0 tdi s-line 170 clutch/dmf issues

    Thanks, I don't really want to use Audi if i don't have to, knowing their labour costs i will be looking at a massive sum! Darkside developments have a few different kits on offer so i will probably use them for the parts. How does the clutch/flywheel get replaced? Is it an engine out job or...

    2.0 tdi s-line 170 clutch/dmf issues

    Cheers, can you recommend where to get an uprated clutch from, and how can i tell whether the DMF needs replacing? Or should this be done at the same time anyway to prevent further work in the future?

    2.0 tdi s-line 170 clutch/dmf issues

    Hi, Over the last couple of days i have noticed that my clutch will sometimes slip in 5th gear with my foot right down, car has 90k so to be expected i guess.

    A4 Avant TDI S-Line Issues

    Thanks for the help. Where does the line run exactly? Should be having a look at this tomorrow! Will make sure its not leaking onto the amp! Is it possibly the jet is just corroded and not letting screenwash out?
