I have a battery cover part number 1K0915411A available. I got this with a battery insulator for my Lexus LS400 but it’s obviously not for my car. I don’t want anything for it, if you want it let me know and I’ll package it ready to collect from BB3 area or post at your expense.

Now sold

I have for sale a 6 speed manual 2001 A4 B6 2.5tdi quattro sport saloon in silver. Car has done 124,000 miles and passed it's MOT today so a full 12 months mot. I bought the car 3 years or so ago as a stop gap for a few months but ended up keeping it longer and keeping it going for the Mrs (I...

All put back together and pressure tested, no leaks that I could see. Cost approx £210 all in, new rad, new condenser, coolant (20 litres just in case for £38 and have about 14 litres left), new O rings and new retaining clips. Not bad in the end and if it passes the Mot in Oct then I’ll run it...

I'm not sure, I presume it's damage by a stone maybe. I didn't look at where the leak was and examine it, radiator leaking and at fault was good enough for me!!

Just thought I'd share my first experience of finding a bad coolant leak. I had a large coolant loss on my Audi A4 2.5tdi, which the Mrs drives all the time, coolant was splattered between the timing belt covers and the radiator. I had to top up 2- 3 litres the first time the ‘low coolant’...

Just an update on a leak on 'the rubber grommets that seals the injector ' (don't know what else to call them) Yesterday I got round to replacing these rubber grommets and it took a few hours. Longer than expected but I did take my time. Removed the air filter box completely with the MAF assy...

I logged a technical enquiry with Meyle, sent them all the car details including VIN and reg etc. I didn't expect a reply so quick but they replied very quickly. They confirmed that the 'Link Set, wheel suspension' part number '116 050 0083/HD' is correct for my car.

Hi, I'm going to rebuild the front suspension on my 2001 A4 B6 2.5Tdi Quattro Sport Saloon and I'm trying to find the correct 'Link Set, wheel suspension' kit from either Lemforder or Meyle (or another make if someone can recommend it) So far from searching the Lemforder/Meyle online catalogues...

Mike B, yep definite bonus and thanks for the advice. I've had petrol BMW's for a long time, 2002Tii, E36 M3, E46 M3, M140i to mention a few but this 2.5 Tdi Quattro Sport has grown on me. The Mrs has been using it for the last 12 months and she loves it, now she's using a Dacia Sandero and...

Just one other issue that I fixed while doing all this was the glow plugs. From cold the car didn't start straightaway as expected, especially when very cold in winter, and I got into the habit of letting the glow plugs heat up, turn off the ignition and then doing it again. I thought some of...

I only mentioned the breather because I’d read in another post about it and figured it probably needs replacing so may do it as well. As it happens I think I’ve solved the issue. When I first saw the symptoms of a small amount of oil (it looked like oil) under the front of the car, I wiped the...

Hi, I'm after some information/advice for the problem below if anyone out there can help please? Car is a 2001 A4 B6 2.5tdi quattro sport. I recently had an oil leak from the (looking from the front) left hand rocker cover seal/gasket and I had it replaced at the same time as the cambelt/water...

Thanks for all the advice, I’ll be going with the Lemforder kit I think just because I don’t want to take the chance of bits not fitting. I have all the gear to do the job and have done the same on a E36 M3 a few years ago, so hopefully it won’t be too bad and I’ll document it if possible.

Hi, I'm currently gathering parts/part numbers for rebuilding the suspension on my 2001 2.5tdi quattro sport saloon. I need to decide between Lemforder or Meyle, the problem I have is that Lemforder have part numbers for the 'sport' suspension and 'standard' which isn't an issue and I have the...

That's great, thanks for the information. I'll pass the information onto my son in law and he can make the decision. I suppose if you buy a car and then the gear selection issue appears, you have no choice but to live with it or get it fixed if possible. Buying a car 'with' the issue is probably...

Hi, my son in law is looking for a new car and has looked at a 2007 A4 Avant 2.0 diesel 6 speed manual. He's keen on buying the car and has left a deposit but he tells me the car overall drives well, brakes, engine etc but first gear is difficult to engage when cold but gets better when its been...
