    Alternator from a MY 2000 A4 B5 1.9tdi

    This came out of my A4 B5 Saloon before it was scrapped. It was about six months old at that point. Any use to anybody? I don't want any money I just think its too good to throw in the bin. Delco Remy pattern part.

    I want a v8 - is a 20yr old A8 a mad idea?

    Thanks Both - I like the shape of the older y2k models. So what I think you are saying is that the v8 doesn't have any inherent weakness but there are other factors that make an older vehicle in good condition or a money pit. Out of curiosity how does the v8 as fitted to the A8 differ from the...

    I want a v8 - is a 20yr old A8 a mad idea?

    I have had a desire for an Audi V8 for a long time. The A8 4.2's seem to be really good value especially when they are a bit older. What at the weaknesses of the engines at 100k miles? Would it be crazy to buy an A8 at that kind of mileage that were more that 15 years old? Cheers!

    TDi inlet manifold cleaning / 1.9tdi quattro down pipe

    when my lad did an EGR delete on his Passat he got the manifold cleaned by a local engineer in their parts cleaner - it came up like new. I don't know what the charge would be if the engineer wasn't a friend though.

    change your slush box ATF

    I just changed the ATF and gear box filter in the dear old thing and I have to say what a spectacular difference! Box was ok before but was starting to get a bit snatchy on some shifts. The ATF and filter change seem to have had a big effect. I imagine this is what she drove like out of the...

    Automatic throttle problems :/

    I just had the identical problem - as above could be sticky vanes (Mr Muscle treatment is worth doing anyway) or might be a split pipe end on one of the vacuum lines. Mine was a split pipe all sorted for a short bit of pipe!

    Looking for a B5 A4 - are they getting rarer?

    It was a 1.8t sport estate. Served us well, two years of fault free motoring for £36. I have had a hankering for a matched set of A4s but might in the end go for another VW if the right one turned up.
