    Please Help Identify Hose/Pipe !

    Thanks, I'll get it replaced anyway and then ask the garage to check the dodgy idle out, think i'll have to leave this to the Mechanics, thanks for your help, probably not as easy a fix as I hoped.

    Thanks superkarl, you are a legend mate, any idea if this would affect the cars idle or acceleration from cold start? (I guess maybe no, as you can tell not that savvy as regards to Engine function) sorry, I am learning though!

    Cambelt Kit & Waterpump Replacement

    Well got my car back today woohoo! :o.k: So far so good, only had a short run about 10 miles, but it seems much smoother and the engine more quiet. I also noticed the MPG creeping up, used to get around 24.2MPG around town, tonight it rose to 26MPG (and hopefully it will get better). Also my...

    Cambelt Kit & Waterpump Replacement

    No probs mate, i'm throwing caution to the wind and will let the garage choose. I think they will go for plastic as it is cheaper and after reading the other dudes post (tuffty) maybe plastic is the way to go! Wow 3 cambelt changes the old girl must have spent many miles with you then

    Cambelt Kit & Waterpump Replacement

    Hi Gmac, I think most places say around 4 hours labour for cambelt and water pump, not sure what my garage will be putting down, I will post the details when I get the bill. I'm sure some people say it can be done in less than 4 hours. Funny thing was when the Audi centre quoted me £499 I...

    Have the garage ripped me off? Poor idle fault -VAG test

    Hi B5NUT, that's what I was worried about and I did argue that fact with them, but unfortunately am not clued up on the fault codes etc as you can tell. By resetting the faults could that have sorted the idle fault??? As now the car is running good again!
