    Un-Sticking Your TDi VNT Turbo Vanes.....

    You will need about 1 meter of tubing, get it at B&q for 96p. And you'll need to shove it in about 5 inches, in my case:crying: I did this job on my B6 at the weekend, didn't make any difference, but then (touch wood) I wasn't having any problem with the car. Took some pictures for the hell of it

    B5 RS4 Brake upgrade checklist...

    Well I finally got around to fitting the brakes, l/h side went OK with no problems, the r/h side was a nightmare, couldn't undo the brake pipe, totally seized, had to drive around for a few days with one old, and one new caliper/disc until I could get to a garage. They had to replace the...

    Cheers Ash, I've had my eyes on these, they are plan C. Big Redd wouldn't take the RS4 calipers as part exchange for the B5 S4, I'm still considering getting these. Is the 2.0 tfsi set up any good?

    Nice one Ash, even if Big Red don't go for the exchange, I think I'll get them anyway. £290 is not bad for 2 twin piston calipers, and the 321 mm discs are much cheaper of course:thumbsup:

    I'm glad that these discs are OK....£500 for Audi one's, no chance:no: I'll do a test fitting once I have everything back, to make sure the original guards are OK before "splash" out on RS4 one's:think: Can you confirm there are the correct lines? Audi B5 RS4 Brake Lines by HEL Performance...
