    Engine Ancillary identification

    Ok i replace this part, & it seems it's all ok i.e. no oil leaks, good pedal pressure & no noise - access is really really tight (there are some youtube videos) I had to buy a really small ratchet screwdriver with torx 30 bit to get the bolts out - especially the lower one (the lower bolt holds...

    2.0 Tfsi servicing questions

    "1. The oil filter on my car is the replacement element type in a plastic canister fitted with a drain valve.

    ah - I though I had a problem with the alarm/fob (my old B6 had one click) but it is a "feature" - seems weird when all the doors lock after 5mph anyway

    I think i got Air Con problems

    from my "basic" understanding of Air Con issues, the compressor (which is actually responsible for creating the "cooling" effect) is run from a belt that is driven from the engine (is the belt still attached? my one on my old 2.5TDi came off - a simply pulley and belt replacement job, and back...

    2.0T S Line Special Edition 2006, is it worth me doing these modifications?

    wd not only did I not know anything re the "Special Edition" - I don't think the guy I bought it off did either (he was selling on behalf of his recently deceased father, so did not really know too much about the car) I only realised when I tried to match the stated KW's printed on the...

    My latest Audi, an a4 b7 avant black edition quattro

    it obviously has the two tone black/grey leather (a deal breaker for me when I was looking for a 2.0T) - armrest, DIS, Bose labelled speakers/sub woofer and rear parking sensors (which came as a surprise!!!) the only thing it does not have (in my limited knowledge of the options available)...
