Hi Holmefield, Could you post the measurements now that you have drilled them in the Audi OEM positions? With the exact Audi measurements I assume it could be drilled from the outside without removing the bumper? Cheers Phil

Nice cars... here's another! . .

Which fan? It could be the secondary air fan that comes on when you start from cold. It blows air into the exhaust and last for about a minute then stops, can sound like a Hoover at times and sounds like a jet engine when spinning down if you turn the engine off before it's turned itself off. If...

Well timing belt now done! All in all took 6 hours. To update on the Votex bumper issue, it's no problem, just remove the 2 side grills around the fog lights to access the vertical bumper bolts and that's it, the procedure is the same, it will come off still attached to the original bumper.

Sorry, rechecked where my power cable went in and it's to the right of the battery, not left as previously stated.

Or as AndyMac says, through the ECU. Probably depends on which side you want your power, drivers side or passengers : )

I recently installed an amp wiring kit in my A4 B6 Avante and there was a rubber nipple just below and to the left of the battery (between the battery and brake servo). The rubber nipple just needs to be cut off to give you a nice hole through the grommet straight into the cab, behind the glove...

Wow.. that's a fair bit, nice! Revo are doing a remap for £199+ at the moment, that's what I have planned, after 16th Sep it goes back to £299+

@Tooks... sorry, I re-read my comment after reading yours and realise I wasn't very clear. When I said "he has seen more failures" I meant of the actual water pump rather than the cambelt itself. It was to do with bearing and seal failures. Sorry should have been more clear. As you say I think...

Well I went yesterday and bought the parts. I was still undecided on which water pump but I had my car booked into my local VAG specialist & Revo agent to have a stage 1 remap and thought while I'm there I'll also ask his opinion. He recommended sticking with the OEM as the metal impeller ones...

@S3 Gaz... Yeah I have to take off the bumper too and pull the front of the car into the 'Service position', sounds like fun, Not! @Tooks... Does the water pump come with a new O-ring? 75K for belt change and mines at nearly 90K... Holy cr*p!!! From what I read I got the impression that the...

Hi all, I am buying the parts today to do a timing belt change on my 2003 A4. It has 89K on the clock and that's plenty, not going to leave it till the very optomistic 115K in the manual. I've got the haynes manual to help me as well as reading through other belt changes online but is there...

According to Revo they say I will get 195/225 from the remap which is probably more realistic. Revo are now doing a stage 1 remap for £199+ (1 month sale now on) so I have booked in my car for next Tuesday. Can't believe the price : )

Thanks for that, not too bad a price if doing yourself. All new discs and pads for under £140. Regards, Phil

Can you report back your findings when you get prices? I want to do the same so interested in what you find out. Regards, Phil
