    2.0 TDi 140 PD - Rough idle and misfire...

    Hello all... I have a 2005 A4 Avant, 2.0 TDi 140 PD (BLB engine), with 177,000 on the clock. I've had it for nearly 5 years and it's been great, but 6 months ago it developed a really rough idle. It now takes a while to start, runs rough for the first 30secs or so, and settles down to a smooth...

    A4 BLB EGR delete...?

    hey guys, I've got a 2005 A4 Avant, with the 2.0Tdi BLB engine. The car has been losing coolant for ages now, about a litre per 100miles, maybe a bit more. I've kept it topped up and it's been ok, but it is getting annoying. Anyway, I figured it could be the EGR cooler. I get white smoke on...

    Stupid question... What are these bolts?!?

    Hey guys... This is a stupid question... So over the past couple of weeks, I've been replacing the balance shaft in my 2.0TDi A4 (B7) which had the hex drive fail. I took the car apart two weeks ago... Removed the bumper, put it in the service position, lifted the engine, dropped the...

    Springs / shocks for B7 Avant 2.0TDi...

    Hey guys, So my Avant 2.0TDi SE needs new shocks as the old ones are leaking a bit, and it also needs new bushes in the front suspension. The car had 160k on the clock so I was thinking of putting new springs on as well, so the whole suspension is refreshed. It's a family car, so some...

    A4 Avant suspension and tyre questions...

    hey guys, I've got a few problems with my 2005 A4 Avant TDi... It's due an MOT soon, and has a lot of play in the front suspension. I intend to change all of the bushes at the front, and the drop links. Am I best just buying standard, or are there any updated parts I could fit to improve the...

    B7 Avant TDi Tyre recommendations...

    Hey guys, I have a 55 plate B7 Avant 2.0TDi, which desperately needs new front tyres. The car is on the same tyres I bought it with two years ago; they're Goodyear Eagle F1s, and they're great, but now the rears have worn in a sawtooth pattern and make a horrible rumbling noise at 25mph and...

    Key remote failure...

    Hi guys, I have a 2005 (55) A4 2.0TDi Avant, and both the remote keys are knackered... Only one worked when I bought the car last year, but that gradually began to play up, and after changing the battery it died altogether. I took them into a local key specialist who said that the coils had...

    Broken compressor drive plate.. repairable?

    Hey guys... I bought my first Audi a few weeks ago.. an A4 Avant 2.0 TDi, B7 shape on a 55 plate, BLB engine code. It's a lovely car, but the air con doesn't work! So, I took it into Kwik-fit, they regassed it, and it still didn't work, so I got a recharge for free. I then decided to get the...

    Best location for new amplifiers in B7 Avant?

    Hey guys, I've just bought a 55 plate B7 Avant 2.0TDI, which has the Symphony HU and Bose system. It is, to be honest, crap. The stereo I mean, not the car ;) i've done a few installs now on previous cars with good results, so I'm looking to do another one on the A4. However I bought the car...

    Possible clutch issues?

    Hey guys, I'm new to the forum, and looking to buy a b7 Avant, as my wife has just given birth to our first child and my VW Lupo is too small for us all now! Anyway, I've seen a very nice '55 plate car, with 150k on the clock. Although the mileage is high, it's had recent belts and a new turbo...
