Morning all! I'm new to the forum, have recently bought another Audi, although I have had Audis for the past 17 years. First a TDi SE A2 followed by a last of line series 2 S Line TDi TT which we had from new and still have. I recently decided I needed an old nail of an estate to use whist I restore my T4 van. Budget secure and the search was on, but everything I considered was just dull. Then the "an old Audi would do" idea hit and things took a turn. The more I searched, the more I wanted and the budget increased. After a good talking to myself I wound in my wish list and made my choice.
I bought an '07 B7 A4 Avant - 2.0T S.E. S Line ( non Quattro )
The b7 was always a favourite with me, style wish and the avant meant my pups would still have suitable transportation when needed. The 2.0T S.E. S Line ( from what I have been able research from the tinterweb ) has the 220 p.s. BUL engine, blacked out external brightwork, 18" Le Mans alloys, full leather seats and Alcantera to the handbrake and steering wheel. On top of this the usual S Line options could be applied, most of which mine failed to gain.
Absolutely love the thing. Spending more and more of the vans budget on " just tidying it up a bit - (new set of Bridgestones all round yesterday) ", its fast becoming more of amother project than the working hack it should have been.
I have searched the usual " trouble with BUL engine" posts and have just a few small questions
Mine being an '07 car, would it have the updated balance shafts, thus reducing/removing that problem?
Timing gears on the back of the head, can these be done in the car or is it a move/remove engine job?
Thanks in advance
