    b6 1.8t turbo change

    Hi Guys, Just to add on this and hopefully help a few people out. As the engine is positioned longitudanally in the A4/PASSAT than the transverse in the K04 S3/TT/Leon, the turbo manifold and turbo is a totally different fit. The transverse cars have a different turbo position and therefore...

    OVERHEATING - What could be the causes guys?

    Just an update. My waterpump has broken. So I have decided to strip the front end down and change the belt and pump. I try to look at the good side of everything in life and I think it will be a good opportunity to change some hard to reach parts (oil pickup, EGR, engine mount, sensors etc) and...

    !! Audi Main Dealer Price Shocker !!

    Well, it seems that the Genuine Audi parts are resonably priced, and the factor that makes a trip to the dealers expensive is their labour rates. I mean FOUR figures for a cambelt change. I could understand that for a RS4 or RS6 or and block with two heads but a four pot......its quite a lot I...

    I'm struggling to bleed the coolant system - 1.8T BEX

    Thanks for the advice CMD. Though I had to call the Audi dealer's service dept. He told me to find the heater matrix pipes that are behind the scuttle panel. You have to take off the clip and pull the pipe off until the little bleed hold is exposed. You have to do what you said CMD said then...

    OVERHEATING - What could be the causes guys?

    Thanks for the help so far. I do pray that nothing major has been affected but I did stop as soon as the light came on. I hope it is something like a thermo and not a head gasket. Is there a quick and reliable method to check a thermo and a waterpump. Or is it a case of stripping it down. Is...
