Glad to hear you got it done in the end mate. Would love to upgrade to the misting jets myself instead of the squirty water pistols. Hopefully on another C6 that's cleaner and possibly a 3.0 V6 :D

Hey @KrisKrk I seen your post the other day in one of the Audi A6 owners club on Facebook and noticed that you weren't in the group I posted. I've taken the video and screengrabbed the post so you can see it. Hope this helps.

Hey @KrisKrk I unfortunately never got around to fitting the fan jets as my A6 is just a rusty workhorse at the moment, that I really need to get rid of haha. Funnily enough, I'm a 5 minute walk from Brotek, who just lives down the road from me. Pretty big Audi enthusiast haha. Regarding the...

Hi Kris, Hopefully this will help you. I've had it saved for over a year but haven't got around to doing it as my A6 is mostly just a rusty workhorse haha. https://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/808991-B7-RS4-water-jet-mod-(fan-spray) According to one of the Facebook groups I'm in, one...

Damn sorry to hear about the outcome of your issue JDW. I guess I was lucky when my rattling dual mass flywheel exploded when doing a hill start similar to yourself.

Just had a good read through your thread Kris, love what you have done with the car. Looking forward to reading more!

Any idea where it is on the block itself. I heard it was behind the block above the flywheel so not the easiest place to check haha. The reason I'm wondering is because my 'BLB' is currently on 182k without any notice of engine/hexkey/tensioner change.

Is there any other way to identify the engine apart from the sticker on the timing belt cover, service book or wheel well?

No, you don't need to worry, the 'BKD' engine did not get a balance shaft unit and the oil pump is driven in the same manner as the 1.9 PD engines with a chain and a tensioner and no balance shaft unit. The chain tensioner on the PD engines (your 'BKD') should last around 300k before needing...

Hello guys! :bye: After reading a few threads on the forums I thought I would try my hand at keeping a build/progression thread on my Audi A6 so I can keep track on what's been done to the car. I won't be doing anything major regarding modifications but more of a general maintenance thread...

Here's a video of it in action. I myself am looking for a Bluetooth solution for music and phone calling. I'm heading towards getting the Dension 500 as the factory fitted route is looking a little pricey for a AMI Module and also a Bluetooth module.

I also forgot to add, does the 2.0L TDI (BLB) engine have any other problems apart from the oil pump drive and chain tensioner issues? I've still been driving the car as I need it for methods of travel to university and the chain tensioner and balance shaft at 170k are still going, it must have...

Cheers for the heads up! :sunglasses:

Hello guys, I've recently bought a '2005 170k A6 2.0L TDI - Engine Code (BLB)'. Unfortunately it's got no history of the oil pump ever being changed which has got me a little worried as why it hasn't failed yet or if it's been changed by a previous owner. After searching online around this forum...

Hello guys, I've recently just picked up a 2005 2.0L A6 Saloon SE in Akoya Silver. The car itself has had 3 owners from new who have all taken good car of the car with lots of service history and receipts included. I was driven to the car because of the lovely leather seats and also the addition...
