    The bolts turned out to be expensive lesson. Not impressed that a supplier has cost me so much money. I only drove it a couple of miles and thought i might have detected a very slight vibration still but i might be wrong. I will drive it as soon as i can to give it more of a test and decide...

    Mileage is 155k but it does have a bit of a mileage discrepancy so possibly closer to 200k It's been at a garage for nearly 2 weeks. They felt it wasn't the drive shafts and discovered some surface corrosion on the hubs which they cleaned up. Also the wheel spacers they felt were a problem. They...

    I hope it is ... i just didnt want to chance it at £177 per side just for the parts if the gearbox done in. Changed my mind now and wish i had changed them while apart. My jag had sat for 5 weeks and just started on first turn of the key so giving that some love today. Also changing wiper relay...

    An update ... the knocking was thought to be a CV joint so had that changed. While at it had a new cv boot fitted the other side and new drop links. Sadly its still there . Garage thinks it might be a gearbox problem, or unlikely driveshaft. I didnt want to buy a new driveshaft in case it is the...

    2.5 V6 TDI ticking noise?

    The needle injector throws the code when faulty? Although guessing gunked up might not throw a code necessarily. I am still having the starting issue so doing the glow plugs next. I hear they are fun to get out!

    2.5 V6 TDI ticking noise?

    It ticked (actually banged pretty load) after needle lift injector changed but did settle down after a day or so. I suspect the top of the engine was maybe starved or oil a bit while it had been worked on and cam cover off for a week. Once that had a bit of time lkus the oil changed it seems to...

    I need my comforts ... I will be using it for work so air con a must, plus it's much safer in winter clearing the fog on the windscreen?

    Thanks, good tip ... will have a good luck there. Just want to make sure it's safe. You are right on the A6 I think. A4 much more nimble ..

    I have had a few but been unfaithful over the years swapping to Mercs and Bmw's at various times. I bought a 2004 1.8 180 T Sport Quattro brand new and loved it ... two years later I bought a new A6 3.0 SE Quattro and oddly as much as i loved it I did miss the A4. (Perhaps why I bought this to...

    I need to get to the bottom of the vibration under load. Waiting to see what feedback comes from the other thread but most likely I will get my removed master injector plus x5 other spare std injectors reconditioned to see if that fixes it. At circa £300 though it's a pricey speculative move so...

    Also sorted the wheels today .. new ones are on. Took it out and it handles like a dream. Why do I buy cars other than Quattro's sometimes? I really enjoyed the drive this evening even with the engine issues. So impressed.

    Hi, sorry seem to have a few threads on the go now. My wife had lost my plusgas so I soaked it in wd40 then screwed the fuel pipe back on and tugged it out. Bought a used master injector and fitted it. Also fitted new cam cover gasket to fix big oil leak at the same time. Engine light went out...

    2.5 V6 TDI ticking noise?

    Ticking has gone away now ... it seems to be running much more sensibly now. That's the good news. I had the oil changed by a garage this morning as I don't have a ramp and at the same time the diesel filter. The mechanic took it for a drive and thought it was a bit rough. I took it out and it...

    2.5 v6 TDi Quattro vibration under load

    I have exactly this issue ... vibration under load. I recently had an issue with my master injector showing a fault. I fitted a used replacement and engine light went off. As I bought the car faulty and not driven it before I am not sure if vibration was there before so not sure what to do next...

    2.5 V6 TDI ticking noise?

    I replaced the master injector as it was throwing a fault. I don't think there was a loud ticking before I did the work. There is no way it was very loud like I found it afterwards that I can be sure of. Good news is it has died down quite a bit. I popped it into a local garage earlier for...

    2.5 V6 TDI ticking noise?

    An ancient post I accept but know there is a pile of knowledge on here. How do you clean a line? I have loud ticking after changing my master injector today. It did die down a little bit when I took it for a hard drive but came back towards the end. So annoying as I just sorted the injector...
