cheers They do seem to good to be true, will just get new tyres only the fronts need doing according to MOT advisory so can spread the cost!

Just to let you know have replaced crankcase breather valve on mine now and fault has gone, hopefully this has sorted this out for me. Again only £8 plus £12 for fitting to my mate (should buy a beer and burger!) this i s part number 6. Please not that i have also had part 20 replaced before so...

Hi i have an Audi A4 1.8t ltd edition 190bhp model and my front tyres will need replacing soon. I am wondering whether to replace all tyres (or just 2?) or go for a new set of rims with tyres with them fitted. I have seen these which look a real good price but they are replicas. 18" A5 ALLOY...

I see what you mean, Audi normally charge up to £100 an hour round here so i can see why it cost that much on labour however could i just double check the part number if you have it? Will i need the t shaped hose also? Is it part numbered 6 and 5 on the diagram above on the thread? Also if...

Not sue have been driving with this problem since April, the car drives fine its just not quite right when sitting idle. the fault i get is just something about the mix being too lean?

Cheers, ill ask my mechanic friend to check these both out in case the part we have replaced is now broken again. Just tried to open the oil cap after a 20min drive, i was able to unscrew it and pull off then i replaced it, just a few seconds later though i was struggling to turn it nowhere near...

the valve that i think was replaced is like a circular black plastic part that sits towards the windscreen at the same height as the engine cover connected via multitude of pipes etc. The turbo blew on me about 6 months ago and ever since i have had this problem, i had the oil intake pipes and...

Haven't had mine remapped but have the 190bhp 1.8t BEX engine version of the B6 A4 and mine is displaying the same symptoms. Have replaced the breather valve which is towards the top of the engine. An 02 sensor and today tried a new MAF but made no difference in fact made things a little worse...

i agree sports suspension can be little unforgiving, i have a feeling there may be a slight problem in my car with the 02 sensor making the fuel become a little lean, thats also causing it to use up a little more fuel, however the mpg on this car does seem to be a common grumble. Some people say...

Like the fact these are specialists in vw/vag, what phase are you going for??? Pahse 1 or 2? How much are they charging?

Just need to sort out the engine light currently lit up a the moment, possible to do with PCV valve or the throttle body? Apparently you can reset this back to factory settings? Also possible sensitive 02 sensor (loads of oil stuck to it after turbo filed?). So once all done which shouldn'tt be...

A little dissapointed with the mpg on my 1.8t 190 bhp b6, and feel there are some flat spots on the acceleration at certain points. There have been some issues with the car lately but all being sorted, however when all is done i am thinking of having it remapped. A friend of mine has just had...

Just had turbo replaced on my b6 audi a4 190bhp 1.8t, after oil pressure failing on me and causing the dreaded smoke out the back loss of power etc. Engine now running very smooth and quite and is a very smooth ride. however after 1 day of getting car back engine light came on. AA looked at said...

The engine management light didn't come on before when the turbo went it was an oil pressure warning flashing up. this has now stopped. The engine light just came on while starting the car from idle? Have driven it again today o the shops again it seems ok, no clunky noises or mis-firing etc. So...

hi Have a 1.8t audi a4 and the turbo went on me, so have had it refurbished by universal turbos as it coould be saved and had new oil pump, oil pick up and engine flushed and new fully synthetic oil replaced. However while car parked after driving all afternoon i restarted it and then the...

By the way the ebay add mentioned before is the correct one. He has text me since getting home but not going to reply until i really no all the issues. Not sue whether to have believed him or not. However judging by the notorious reputation of the 1.8t engine sludge problem probably was going to...

Yeah i agree does sound weird to have a service then sell, but who knows, said to guy at garage that the engine oil pressure may just say its ok even though we all know its not, i think he is going to just go head and fit new oil pump, and pipes, ill mention the oil feed pipe to the turbo to...

water pump shown in records was last done at 113k along with cam belt, also just read on receipts engine flush took place on all longlife services, how often do you recommend changing the oil and would you flush the engine at same time also?

How much for turbo? Seen a new one on ebay for £260 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290398657632&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT and an oil pump for £35. But not sure if these are good prices. If need a new engine do you think i should sell for salvage and start again, taking back...

Just been told by my in law who had a 2004 audi fro a couple of years as a company car that his audi used to go into like limp home mode or shutdown if something went wrong that required the engine to not go above a certain amount of stress until sorted? He said it happened a few times, he got...
