I'd been banging my head against a brick wall and emptying my pockets since June, over 3 months. Plus the wife had been suffering for longer than that. It got to the stage where I was ferrying her to work which was costing me time plus about another £70 a week on diesel. I took it to...

Some camshaft lobes worn by up to 1mm, some showing no signs of wear. All shells showing wear, some excessive. Replaced cam, shells & followers. Still vibrated !!!!!!!!!! Had enough. Traded it in against a 2 year old BMW X1 xdrive with 16k on the clock, full leather interior, heated seats...

Alex, engine & gearbox mounts done. A quick visual inspection of the camshaft revealed some copper streaking suggesting shell wear and wear on a few of the lobes. In particular the lobes on #4 were worn to the point that the edges were ragged. One ex Audi mechanic suggested that this may well...

Good shout Demus, I'll clean it in the morning. Also going to check for camshaft wear.

Update. Still vibrating. Replaced the injector wiring loom to no effect. 2 ex audi mechanics couldn't come up with any ideas. I took it to the main dealer for a diagnostic/check. No faults and within spec on the smooth running test at idle. The mechanic that took it for a test drive (he owned...

It is present when stationary and moving. It's more pronounced when moving though. I'm thinking the injector loom is a possibility as I'm leaning towards an imbalance across the cylinders. I'm hoping it's not an injector. I think I read somewhere that the loom is about £50 so I'll probably give...

Hi My misses started complaining about vibrations from the accelerator pedal, gear stick, foot well and steering wheel which were leaving her with tingling sensations in her feet and fingers. I noticed it more in the clutch pedal. The vibration could be felt when stationary in neutral. It was...

I used the M8XL rivet from the link above. Body dia 10.9mm, drilll size11mm. Amazingly, the link still works.

Look neat enough to me, good job. Shame you had to go to a larger rivet & drill. Still, cheaper than getting Audi to fix it !!!

Yep, going to dive into that tomorrow. What ever happened to German quality engineering?

Hi The other day the wife went put the divers window down, it got part way and stopped. After playing with the button a few times, it went up a bit and then stopped. Now dead. The other 3 windows work fine form the drivers door. The adjuster for the mirrors does not work for either window...

Hi jr-323i, The reason for the allen bolt is that you have more control over the bolt and are less likely to slip and damage the paintwork. Apologies, I should have pointed out that the reason for selecting a bolt a few threads longer than the rivet assembly was to avoid getting it trapped...

It's all a bit immaterial now. The seller didn't appear to be happy about letting it go for £10.50 as he apparently paid £75 for it. Anyhow, after 19 days I eventually got a refund and he got bad feedback.

Here’s an easy fix for captive nuts that have fallen off where you can’t get access to the back of the panel – steel blind rivet nuts. No need for access at the back of the panel. I used these to repair the tailgate ball pin mount on an Audi A4 1.9 tdi Quattro. 10 off M8XL rivets cost me...

Got an easy fix for this – steel blind rivet nuts,10 M8XL rivets cost me £2.79 inc delivery. You don’t need a £50 plus setting tool, you can set the rivet with a bolt, washer, nut and some copper slip/grease. I used an allen bolt as the allen key doesn’t get in the way of the tailgate...

Just had the same problem. Never noticed that it was loose when we bought it. Really annoying that there is no access. Has anyone got a simple fix? I've got a few in mind Drill an access whole in the pillar behind the pillar trim to get a nut on. Tig weld it in place - tig will minimise the...

Starting to get the hang of this

Here is a pic of the one i bought

When you say you didn't think Audi made a B6 MFSW for amanual box, is that polite phrasing for no they definitely didn't? The one I purchased is a 4 spoke 6 button. The paddles, if they are present,would probably be hidden from view by the camera angle. Form what I can make out, the tiptronic...

Well, I suppose if you've got the money to spare there are many useless items you could spend it on instead. About 5 pairs of the wife’s shoe/boot collection, that sit in their box and collect dust, should get you a new one including fitting.......... Age doesn't matter. My Suzuki GS850GN is...
