No the belt was got by the fitter who is trying to pass the buck on to the supplier (motor factor) for supplying the wrong belt.

Hi guys. Just wanted to pick your brains here. A family member who lives in London had a timing belt replaced recently that led to a failure. It was on a common rail VW engine. Turns out that the wrong belt was supplied - ie - it was the correct number of teeth but 5mm narrower, which caused...

Found out myself (finally). It's: 8K0805163A just in case anyone ever needs them!

Hi guys. Does anyone know what the Audi part number for these undertray clips is? It's a 2009 2.0TDi coupe. There are 11 altogether that hold on the undertray that you take off to access the sump. There are 8 along the outside and 3 along the back. It's the part number for the 3 along...

Cheers!

I have an S Line with 20" wheels AND Eibach Sportline springs. Ironically it's very comfortable!

Are there better aftermarket grilles than others? I can get a genuine RS5 grille for a bit over £500. Just wondering if it's worth the extra money.

The only cosmetic thing I'd change on my pre-facelift 2009 A5 Quattro S-Line coupe would be the rather bland looking grille. Question is; what are the options? Don't really want to go aftermarket unless I had to. Any thoughts?

You might want to get the MAF sensor values checked and also check for boost leaks. I'd recommend adding a bottle of Wynn's diesel clean 3 to half a tank of diesel too and giving it a good revving whilst it's in. Your injectors / EGR / DPF etc could be coked up. I know there's only 2000 miles on...

Averaging 40-45 MPG on my quattro 2.0TDi coupe. Get 50+ on a longer journey (30 miles +)

Have the Revo stage 1 on my CR 170 2.0TDi Quattro and it's great. Smoother and a lot more power.

Ok chaps. Fitted a set of Eibach pro kit springs yesterday. The springs may need to settle a bit but the front end is too high compared to the rear for my liking. The rear is almost too low. Would it be a complete no no to refit the standard rear springs whilst keeping the Eibachs in the...

Thanks for the reply Damian. Does the S line share the same shocks as the sport and SE? IE, are the springs the only difference?

I'd like to drop my S line 2009 A5 slightly but am not sure which springs to go for. It sits up at the front more so ideally I'd like a drop of around 20mm on the back and 30mm on the front. The car has 20" wheels with 20mm rear spacers and 12mm front spacers. Any suggestions?
