Hello All,
Serviced the car today, (2006 2.0TDi BKD 140 with 63k miles), i done this by myself outside on the driveway. All went well apart from a couple of questions i have
Firstly when i took off the under tray of the engine i noticed there were a couple of pipes that had something that looked like oil build up around where they joined although the join didnt seem loose... I was told that that is probably the boost pipes and that oil does go to the turbo? (I thought i took a pics showing these but i dont think i have)
Secondly when i got the top off for the fuel filter (Diesel) i noticed the fuel was blueish and a bit cloudy... Upon replacing the fuel filter itself i noticed that this was black and there were small black particles in the fuel which i was wondering - is this right??
Service book says it hadn't had its fuel filter ever replaced and as it should be done at 60k i have just completed this but the old fuel filter was the same brand as the old oil filter, and neither of them had the VW/Audi logo on them as the genuine parts i replaced them with...
Finally the last thing... I heard resetting the DIS service reminder was as easy as pulling the right dash/clock stick for a few seconds... This has reset it to 900 miles or 700 and something days... Arnt services due every 2 years or 19k miles for long life? (I would do every year to be safe anyway)
Does anybody have any information about this?
