Thanks guys. Some great info there. Potentially saved me a lot of cash too!

Thanks mate. great help. I'll give them a call.

Rs6 wheels ? Look so sexy on the b5! Love your car mate.

Seems sound advice, I'm all for preventative maintenance and with a remap around the corner, I thought my 166k clutch would be vulnerable. I'll buy the clutch from Audi this week end and keep it aside. Thanks to all.

Thanks for all replies. Is the only place to get the stock clutch from audi?

Hi aragorn. Budget will be about 200 pound if it helps. Maybe a bit more.

hi all As part of my renewal, I will be changing my clutch on my 1.8t. It's still on the stock clutch and is biting high on the pedal. Is the best clutch the OEM one ? A cheaper aftermarket alternative ? S3 1.8t clutch ? I have never had to change a clutch before so I'm not sure what route to...

No just didn't work to remove all contaminants from the paint work. The megiaurs kit I used before was miles better. Lesson, stay away from really cheap clay bars!

Lol

I think the e46 was the last 3 series to have swirl flaps. Afaik Lovely motor mate, only ever driven the 3.0 petrol. Heard the Ds are insanely torquey

I use a micro fiber wash mitt, dry or with a fine spray of interior detailer. The dangly bits push in to gaps with ease.

I've just used a cheap clay bar ( blue stuff ) I found it to hard and not very easily folded. It removed some tar ect but left a lot of gunk on the paint. I have learnt my lesson.

Just under a tenner, I believe it works like a giant syringe. Got the be better than leaving the old oil in for the short term.

Lovely offer mate, but I'm near North London. Thank you any way. Ordered an oil extractor pump from ebay.

Heard about those. In through the dip stick guide?

Update I went to change the oil today before the diesel/oil flush and the sump nut will not budge. It's now rounded off so I'm stuck for now. Changed filter only, will do until I can get the oil done. Any suggestions for the sump nut? If I have the sump replaced I would be able to also...

Thanks mate, knowledge passed on :) lol

Ok mate, I'll do as you say, but why is idling no good, surely the oil is circulating just under less pressure ?

A good middle ground I think, would be a good half an hour idle as opposed to just ten minutes. That's what I shall be doing this week end. I don't want to over do and I think actually driving with the flush in would be just that. Good to hear so many ideas and opinions, so good to be back on here!

Not sure mate. Wouldn't actually driving the car with the newly dislodged 'bits' pose more of a threat to the engine ? It's lovely to think of cleaning the engine in such an easy way though!
