    2.0 TDI oil pump / balance shaft failure?

    Hi Folks, Just a quick post here for your info. I have a 2005 A4 TDI with the BLB engine. I''ve 110,000km on it and was concerned about the chain snapping. I was going to get it converted to the PowerMax modified balance shaft and mentioned to an Audi dealer before hand. They came back to me...

    Dension 100 and Symphony (2008 S3)

    From my investigations into the Dension Gateways, that's what you're supposed to have. Don't think the radio displays are capable of putting up the track info.

    2.0 TDI oil pump / balance shaft failure?

    The AUDI Ireland guy was absolutely no help whatsoever, "I'm the VAG customer service head and if I've not heard about a problem, it doesn't exist" blah blah blah. Called AUDI UK then and they at least logged my concern in case it happens to fail.

    2.0TDI 6 Speed Manual, Clutch gone!

    Hey Jon. Everyone that I talk to tells me that I should change both. I cant understand how Audi can charge so much for the parts. I've currently lined up an LuK clutch kit and flywheel for about 500euro. Aparently LuK are an OEM supplier to Audi?

    2.0 TDI oil pump / balance shaft failure?

    Just geting back to the oil pump / balancer shaft issue. I was speaking with a local Audi service manager and asked if they've hade any failures. He said to me that they've had to replace a few, the last 2 at approx 70000miles. I'm very worried about mine now and asked if Audi were doing...

    2.0TDI 6 Speed Manual, Clutch gone!

    Hi Guys, Need some advice. I've had a quote from the dealership to replace the clutch and they've gotten back to me with €860 and €1450 if the flywheel's gone. Of this €450 is going on labour. Should I look elsewhere? Parts from UK maybe? Should I look at uprating the clutch in case I remap...

    Does your 2.0TDI use much oil?

    I bought my A4 2.0tdi S-Line 140 with 33k miles on the clock about a year ago. Since then I've done about the same miles ad I've put about 2 litres also. Think that's about average. I read somewhere that as the engines age they require less but I'm gonna wait and see how it goes. You heavy on...

    Oil change question (my dad always does this, do you?)

    Hi Guys, Just wondering if any of you guys do this? My dad is a fitter by trade so I've never questioned him but he always run an engine for a few seconds after draining the oil with the oil sump plug removed so as to drain any oil from around the engine. Anyone else do this? I've done it...

    Audi A4 'Water Pistol' to VW Passat 'Fan Jet' Conversion....

    They should be heated already mate. No other reason for them to be plugged in electrically if the existing ones arent heated. That's my understanding anyway.

    Question re cruise control retrofit

    Hi Guys, just got my bits for the retrofit but it doesn't include the 2 screws listed in its contents. Does anyone have the spec for these so I can pop to a parts place and get them? Cheers,

    Question re cruise control retrofit

    cheers boys. I've got my emissions light on at the moment so need to get that looked at. Plan is to get them to code it then should it not work right out of the bag. Got all the necessary bits for the tidy sum of €70 on ebay.:icon_thumright:

    Question re cruise control retrofit

    Hi All, I've gone through all the cruise control threads but just wondered if anyone has installed the control stalk and not need to re-code? I did the installation before on a golf and didn't need to. I've ordered the bits form the A4 and hoping that I might luck out again! :) Cheers, Bing

    No, the screw that's visble allows you to loosen it and move the bumper in and out, the adjuster throught the other hold is defo for adjustment up and down.

    There's actually an adjustment there to lift the bumper and grill. It's a torx head screw located through the hole in the middle of the photo below. My adjustment's bottomed out and I need to take off the bumper to sort it out but maybe you might be luckier? I've noticed what you mean about the...
