    Just wondering if anyone has any measurements or preferably a drawing of an EGR blanking plate for a 2.5tdi. Got use of a laser cutter next week so was going to draw it up in cad and print a few out.

    Possible New Car

    I'm off to test drive a 53 plate BMW M3 later this week with a view to buying it. 32k miles, sat nav & dvd, 6 disc, harmon kardan. It's got SMG so i'm not sure I'll get on with it but can't wait. If SMG is right for me then I'll be having it!! I'm not sure what to do with the A4 though because...

    Tax disc missing & car boot & door open

    So, I returned to my car and had a police warning saying my tax was invalid which was surprising as I'd only just paid £260 for a new tax disc less than a month ago! Anyway I looked in my tax disc holder expecting to see a misprint or something on the new one, but the old tax disc was there...

    Can anybody tell me if the the immobiliser wiring is routed beneath the bonnet release catch under steering wheel? I have a sneaky suspicion I might have disturbed it when fitting a new bonnet release catch. Cheers

    2.5tdi engine cut out

    Was driving earlier and as i accelerated the engine cut out. i managed to coast to a lay-by but power steering wasn't working as the engine wasn't on. This happened twice afterwards, both times as the turbo spooled. I had a quick look over the engine bay and everything *looks* fine, no leaks...

    Tyres & Quattro

    I know i'm probably preaching to people who know this already but yesterday I had a bitter sweet morning. I arrived at work to hear my front drivers side hissing and sure enough my front tyre is torn on the inside. To be honest I think this one was my fault as it had looked a little low and I...

    2.5tdi tuning box

    A few people have been discussing tuning boxes for the 2.5tdi recently. I fitted one to mine on Friday so thought i'd add a review/reccomendation. I had been looking for a long time on loads of different forums for reviews of certain tuning boxes and came across one from...
