The sticker says ASB. This appears strange to you?

Ahh! Where on the engine/chassis can I find it?

No. Just checked the V5 again and that's it. Is the chassis number of any assistance to you?

Engine code is ASB066882

I need a pair of inlet manifolds for a 2007 A6 3.0 TDI. Can anyone recommend a good place to purchase? A recommendation would be preferable to buying randomly on eBay. If you have bought reconditioned ones, were they a success? I'm also in need of a pair of throttle bodies and considering...

Hi all, My 2007 A6 3.0 TDI Quattro continues to force me to spend money on it! It's a non DPF multitronic car with 117k miles. The inlet manifold problem presented around 18 months ago and after an inaccurate diagnosis by an independent mechanic I was 400 quid worse off and had a new control...

If the OP isn't interested in this, I might be, depending on mileage, spec and price of course. Looking for an avant or 5 series Touring at the minute.

Regarding the catch can system, can you give any more guidance on this? What's involved in installing one? Is it expensive? Does it need a lot of pipework? Can it be bought off the shelf or does it need special fabrication? Apologies for all the questions but no idea what a catch can system is.

Do you think your turbo would have lived for longer if you had replaced the oil separator sooner?

So is it just a case of replacing the crankcase breather pipe or is it the oil separator that needs replacing to rectify the problem?

It has only recently started leaking and is leaking quite a big oil. I've had to top up twice within the past 750 miles and there's occasionally oil on the drive in the morning. Will replacing the crankcase breather likely resolve the problem? Thanks for the reply mate.

Did you ever get this resolved mate? If so, what was the issue. I have the same problem.

Hi all, My 2007 C6 A6 3.0 TDI has started weeping some oil. It looks to be coming from the air intake pipe that enters the turbo. There's a mist of oil on the turbo and surrounding area and on the silver pipe below. Can anyone offer any advice on what's needed to rectify this? Is it likely to...
