Looking for some feedback on engine condition. Turbo failure on my forged 1.8t due to some foreign body sucked in. Bottom end was rebuilt with forged pistons and ZRP rods 20k ago (head not so and had done 60k) On further turbo inspection there was excessive bearing wear so tearing down and...

Wonder if anyone is able to offer advice on the Mark's, inlet valve side on the pistons in the picture. Forged wossner have done approx 10k on a K04 Hybrid that let go during the week, pushing oil through the engine. Want to be sure this is normal wear before reassembling. Inspection of the...

Looking for some help for an intermittent misfire that seems to have got worse over last few days, post a recent remap. Replaced colipacks which temporarily halted it but has returned again. Just removed plugs and they're a good colour, but looking into cylinders cold, having been stood for a...

Been in for first session of the year (3rd since build) and looking for any pointers on a misfire that comes and goes under acceleration, but does not show up on the Dyno. Some good results today with big improvements in the mid range, however and all great on the rollers, but under heavy load...

Hi. Looking to have my standard manual 6 speed box rebuilt & upgraded in the Autumn when I put the car away for winter and would like any recommendations of a reputable company that could help. It has covered 96k although the rest of the mechanicals are less than 5k old, so last thing to sort...

I can see from a general search that there is a dislike for vents on our Audis, but need to address heat issues following my latest set of modifications and map. Any examples here of subtlety placed vents, or other solutions? Considering Zircotec coating of manifold back but seems as expensive...

Hi all. Looking for recommendation of a good 4wd RR facility that will be able to custom map my project re-build. Preferably in the South East as am Berkshire based and likely to be limping to any facility given the amount of set up I believe will be required. Details of spec are below along...

Finally undertaking the build of an A4 B6/7 cabriolet quattro to house the engine and Turbo set up finished last year, combining most of the transferable and upgraded parts from our S-Line CVT B7 (owned from new) with a B6 Quattro 6 speed manual picked up locally. Reason, just based upon limits...

Swapping 1.8t engine out of a CVT B7 into a B6 Quattro and have read that there can be differences in the cranks between Automatic and Manual cars. Both engines codes are BFB so was hoping that they would be easily interchangeable. Uprated ECS clutch (below) going in so flywheel will be changed...

Hi all, Been away a while but now the sun is out am about to embark on the conversion of our A4 1.8t B7 Cabriolet into a Quattro courtesy of a recently purchased B6 1.8T donor car. Wondered if anyone can point me in the direction of diff/transmission upgrade specialists as the donor car has...

Hi helpers. Looking to get back to my garaged Audi project, B7 (B6 chasis) 1.8t cabriolet in time for some Summer driving and looking for some answers on using a Quattro car to convert from current FWD CVT (all the fixing points are there) Firstly, does anyone know whether a standard B6 1.8T A4...

Hi. Have recently completed a full SAI and PCV delete and as per various instructions, connected a line straight from the rear of the rocker cover to the brake servo. Brakes are working okay but am wondering whether I should be putting a non return valve in the line to stop boost from entering...

Hi helpers. Can anyone advise on how to code out an EVAP purge error code? Performed a compete SAI, PCV and general engine bay shave. Everything runs fine (actually better as there was a leak) as I connected the existing vent to a spare nipple on the turbo inlet side, but cut vacuum hose that...

Thought I'd post some information on my A4's rebuild courtesy of Kev Poole and chums at ProMotiv among many others. Fingers crossed she'll be back in time for a run down to Le Mans. Pictures and various figures to follow; Engine out, re-bored and fitted with TSR forged pistons / rods before...

Recently had Devils Own WMI system installed and despite the controller being setup according to engine specs (thanks Bruce/Alfie) and the car going well I'm thinking it could do with a proper custom remap. Currently Revo Stage 2 map installed by my local VAG specialist who looks after the car...

Our A4 cabriolet is off to have a Devils Own WMI fitted this weekend and wondered if anyone knew whether the knock sensor will automatically ****** the timing due to the higher octane of the fuel going in and bump up the power slightly without a remap? Currently Revo stage 2 but has dreadful...

Hi all, Have just had the dreaded PRNDS dash lights start to say hello on our A4 B7 cabriolet (06) Only two instances in the last week but by all accounts this is a progressive problem that just gets worse so we'll sort straight away. Managed to locate a company called 'ECU test' who will refurb...

I thought I would share some pics of my new wheels. Found a company called F.A.Wheels in North London that exchange like for like wheels. Price seemed reasonable and was more convenient than sending them away. Swapped over all five in under an hour. Nice guys and did a good job. Then treated...

Hi all, So we have owned our 2006 A4 cabriolet 1.8t from new, and as it has the later steering wheel, full length grill etc I have presumed it is a B7. However, looking at a few threads on here, along with other web searches it appears that some refer to it as a B6 facelift. Can anyone shed...

Hi all. Our A4 1.8t cab has just had its Stage II re-map (woo-hoo) following the install of a Milltek Cat, connected to the Milltek system and other bits.... Am looking to finish things off with an SMIC upgrade to keep things cool and don't wish to go down the FMIC route for aesthetic reasons...
