Mine ticked past 160k a couple weeks a go. 99' A4 2.4 30v. MOT'd last week and the emissions were well under the limits. Extremely low HC count, although it does seem to be using/losing a bit of oil somewhere.

That's a good question! I'll check later/tomorrow. I know that the 1.8 and 2.8 need 7lb of torque, which is near as makes no difference 10nm, so you may indeed be correct! Thank you for the reply. :)

Nobody? :(

My current rocker cover gaskets are leaking in to the spark plug wells. I've got replacements but before I start going about doing the job, I'd like to know the torque settings if anyone knows them? I've been looking around and I can't seem to find anything for this specific engine. Thank...

HT leads? I assume you cleared the faults you mentioned after you found them...

Thank you for clearing that up, I tried out Radio 1 last night with the aerial in it's current state and it was still working ok so it seems to be obsolete. Seems likely that it's for an old GSM phone kit as it used to be a company car in the early 2000's. :)

My facelift '99 saloon has a weird aerial base which I've never seen before on any other B5. It's at the top of the back window and attached to the glass. Is it aftermarket or some weird option? The pic shows it part dismantled because I'm trying to get the thread adapter off. Where is...

Ok, thanks for the info! Gonna tackle this tomorrow morning with a bit of luck.

S4's need more oil to cool the turbo/s IIRC. The only thing at the front of my engine is a cambelt cover, aux belt and a fan. ;) I know for a fact that the 2.8 30v uses 5 litres.

Thank you for the welcomes! I'll post some pics shortly. :)

Bought myself some Millers XFS 5w40 in the week, hoping to put it in tomorrow. Got a couple more questions though (didn't think it was worth making another thread) How much oil does the 2.4 30v take? Some places say 5 litres dead, others say 6... Also, where is the oil filter mounted? I know...

My power steering seems to get heavier the warmer the engine gets. As I had to go to the dealer anyway, I bought a couple bottles of the recommended fluid. My question is, what's the best technique of draining the fluid from the system? One way (the easiest?) is to use a turkey baster to get...

That's a possibility. Thanks for the input. :) Sorry I forgot to add that it's done 154k.

I know it's been done to death, but I've done a search and nothing is answering my questions specifically. I have everything sorted and waiting for a good full service. But the one thing I lack is oil. Currently it's using 10w40 (I didn't put it in), but I'd like to put in fully synthetic when...

Hello. A joined here a couple days back as it seems like the best UK based Audi forum, and with lots of info for me to look over of an evening lol. On the weekend just gone, I had an '99 A4 2.4 V6 in dark blue delivered to me (laa de daa) which I am very happy with, although it's not without...
