    Power Steering the Dreaded Rack

    I hope it's not a V6 - near impossicant to replace the rack with the engine in situ.

    Pressed metal number plates.

    I know the difference between a legal licence plate, and an illegal one. I also feel the regular UK plastic ones look fine. I'd rather not have to chase up some random supplier with legal issues, each time I get stopped by Babylon boys, I simply don't have the time.

    Pressed metal number plates.

    Not worth the hassle. They don't increase performance, and as they are likely to get you a fine, not even cosmetically appealing.

    Egt n710 lambda MAF prices etc

    The rattling manifolds can also affect facelift cars, though less common. And yes, 100% engine out job to fix.

    hey peeps are b5 passat the same????

    Subframe and frame rails are the same. Sump guards will not be common to B5 A4 and Passat, as the bumper under profiles are different. Hell, they are different even within the B5 A4 range, as in A4, S4 and RS4.

    V8 Into A4 B5 II

    Yes, it made sense to remove the subframe. The 4 cylinder mount was ground off with the subframe lowered at the rear, bolted back in place, and the V6 item offered up, and bolted loosely to the rubber doughnut. It was then tacked in place, before I removed the subframe completely. It was then...

    V8 Into A4 B5 II

    Both catalysts fitted - it involved removing the subframe, grinding off the I4 left-hand tranny mount, and welding in a regular V6 item. The V6 item allows the V6 bracket to be used, and is on a lower level, same as the right-hand side. The raised I4 set-up doesn't allow a catalyst / down pipe...

    Why cant Englandshire make good Fish Suppers!

    Hmm, can't say I've noticed how good or bad fish and chips are, as I don't eat the stuff. Always prefer home ****** meals, must be at least 12 years since I had fish and chips, and don't miss it.

    Yes, I noticed. Will sort it all out later on.

    A few issues I could use some help with.

    Aragorn, synth / non-synth can come in any viscousity, yes. But a 5W-40 oil is a bit on the light side for an engine that's already suffering from blow-by, and with high mileage.

    A few issues I could use some help with.

    15w-40 is not necessarilly a low grade oil. It is also possible to get low grade 5w-40. An engine that's clearly using oil, and at that mileage should actually be run on semi-synthetic, or non-synthetic.

    A few issues I could use some help with.

    Another point - 5w-30 oil is a bit on the thin side, for an engine with that mileage. I would run 15w-40 instead. It will raise the oil pressure slightly, and reduce consumption too.

    A few issues I could use some help with.

    All US cars require the clutch pedal to be depressed, to allow the engine to crank over. The later 30V engine will fit, and should be plug and play, if from a '97 / '98 car. As the B5 had no immobilliser in the US, you shouldn't have any coding issues.

    B5 RS4 Front Bumper, B5 S4 Euro Rear Bumper

    I have a brand new B5 RS4 front bumper, as well as a brand new B5 S4 facelift rear bumper. Both are genuine Audi, brand new in their original boxes. I ordered these for someone, but due to him rolling his pre-facelift S4 last week, he'll no longer be needing them. They are both open to sensible...
