    2.0 TDI oil pump / balance shaft failure?

    None except for immediatly prior to the failure. About 5 miles prior I had heard a noise that sounded like something touching the radiator fan, it was very quiet, so quiet that my passenger couldn't hear it. I genuinely assumed that a twig or something similar would be found on inspection (I...

    2.0 TDI oil pump / balance shaft failure?

    There's not enough pictures in this thread, so I thought I'd add one: This the balance shaft assembly on my BRE engined A4.. the hex shaft is intact, its the drop gears from the crank that have failed. They reckon a C clip has come loose and got into the gears causing chaos. The engine needs...

    Bridgestone Tyres worn after 22 months and 9000 miles - is this right?

    Which engine have you got? 270 miles from a B7 tank is less than 20mpg! I used to get 280 miles out of a tank in the B7 RS4..

    Wheels changed... Opinions please peeps!! Right/wrong decision

    I'll be the one decenter.. I'd personally sell the BBS's and use the money to buy good quality suspension AND a set of cheaper wheels, last time I priced them up 19" BBS CH's were about £2400 a set! :) edit: just found them for £1400 wow they've come down in price! I'm tempted now.. P.S Looks...

    Newbie with buying advice please

    Back on topic.. :) No, thats pretty much it.. I did my research when I bought mine and was advised against the early engine and the 170 version and that was it! As long as its been looked after well then you have nothing to worry about.. just get it bought :)

    Newbie with buying advice please

    Yeah I had a printout of the tyresmoke guide that I found through this site. Trouble is that its written for a B6 without MFSW so a lot of the guide is irrelevent as it tells you to replace the SCM and then how to recode for the new SCM, non of which you need to do on a B7 with MFSW. The guide...

    Newbie with buying advice please

    Yeah, bought the stalks off ebay (£20 and £29 each).. then because mine is a B7 with MFSW it was really easy, just plug in the two stalks, modify the lower cowl (if you look at the inside of a stock cowl you can see the tooling witness line for the cutout for the cruise stalk, I just dremel'd to...
