Just got quoted £169.18 for the rs4 sway bar, brackets bushings and bolts, is that pretty reasonable?

Torque, yes i am sure there is a specific torque rating buried in a workshop manual, but of the top of my head they are M8 cap screws which would be 17 ft lb for an 8.8 bolt. I'd start there. as your going into aluminium anyway.

Carb Cleaner works too, but its a pretty pricey way to do it that's all and probably evaporates a bit quick to treat a really badly clogged up one.

bought from london turbo company on ebay, very happy with the quality of the replacement. whole thing not just the core though. 199

New Gasket, for the intake. take off the mainifold. some of the bolts, allen head are inside the manifold. take the EGR valve off first to access. soak in carbon destroying stuff. solvent parts cleaner ideally. avoid oven cleaner as it attacks aluminium. sometimes a bit of diesel soaking and a...

Hmm, Ill prob go for the audi rs4 sway bar i think. standard drop links are ok with that? or change for rs4 drop links?

Best pull the trigger on this one then! Anyone got the part numbers handy?

hi everyone, Looking for some opionions on the rear sway bar upgrade. There’s plenty of Quattro guys putting the rs4 sway bar on by the look of it. I’m a 2.0 tdi. 2wd s line so wondering if there’s anyone that’s done it, or if it’s Better to go for a slightly thinner bar off say the s4. On the...

That’s your egr valve

Hi everyone, So I have a DMF that’s almost gone and the clutch isn’t far behind it. However, I don’t know if to punt for one of these Single mass conversion kits or to go for a like for like replacement. I am lightly modified but nothing too extreme stage 1 tune.

I had very similar symptoms, shudder around 2k higher engine loads was worse. Worse when cold. Turned out to be a failed injector. So vcds should give you a hand diagnosing it. If you identify one injector as faulty on vcds, check the loom and be careful with the connectors they are rather...

Nice, how long did it take you? And presume you had to bolt the extra mount on. I had a look at trying to separate the diffuser from the bumper on mine to paint it but lost enthusiasm when I didn’t come off easily! Bodywork on cars isn’t my bag ha! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, that said tandem pump failure would show as general poor performance, as a pose to rough idle, that and the you might also detect diesel in the lubrication oil. As regards to the vcds injector readings, only coil/solenoid faults tend to give a fault, and that tends to be the harness...

Indeed, sounds to me like injector seal failure, the Black is from combustion gasses mixing with diesel. Via the fuel return gallery in the head. The copper washer/seal at the bottom of the injector tube is likely to be leaking. Assuming you can still get the injector out then it’s a...
