    bxe engine crap?

    Sorry to drag up an older thread but I stumbled across this thread and it struck a chord as I have a BXE engine. Did anyone get any further pursuing claims against VAG for remedial work?

    Stupid question time

I had a roll of solder wire about 1-2mm thick which I carefully pushed down the drain, I felt a bit resistance at a couple of points so worked it back and forth to clear out the dirt. The water drains out just behind the...

    1.9 TDi Water Pump Interval

    I spoke to Edinburgh Audi as the last service was done there and I wanted further details on it so thought I'd ask their view on the waterpump. Audi strongly recommend having it replaced when having the timing belt changed purely because it's only an extra £78 to get the waterpump on top of the...

    724miles from a single tank, that's pretty good going don't you think?

    Usually I get about 650-700 miles from a full tank, obviously all depends on your driving style but as someone else mentioned before I generally change around 2,000 rpm as well. However I do get that sense of the engine being laboured at lower revs sometimes. Going to be looking at remaps in the...
