Some of you may remember me as the bloke with the grey A4, RS6 grill, 19" Kahns, tints and more LEDs than you can throw a stick at. I'm also renowned for illegal numberplates and a few BRD engine problems.
These have included 2 failed injectors, flywheel, clutch, oil pump balance shaft and...
I was about mile into my commute this morning and was woken up by a big red Oil Pressure Warning on my dash. Its on the 2.0 TDI 170 BRD engine...
Pulled over, checked the handbook - to learn that I needed to check the oil, and if that didn't cure the issue. Do nothing, not even let the car idle...
I've seen lots of wheels with rim protectors or full colour stripe in recent weeks but thought a 'full colour' would be too much.....
As in:
So for the sake of £2.99 and an hour (for four wheels) I thought I'd give a half way house idea a try using a 3mm pinstripe. I've used Red to tie in...
As the title says - here's a quite 'How to' photo guide - replacing your Fuel Temperature Sensor on the 2.0 TDi BRD engine.
I've recently replaced mine having done some reading up on here, thought it may be the cause of some recent starting issues and general 'rough' running. That said, my temp...
I've looked at all the different guides, checked elsawin and etka and searched my engine bay with a torch - still can't seem to locate my coolant emperature sensor!
It's the 2.0 TDi 170 engine code BRD
Any ideas guys...
My 2007 2.0 TDi 170 has 95,000 miles on the clock and has recently been some what lathargic when starting, and seems to be getting progressively worse.
It has a full Audi service history, four new injectors, and was last serviced about 2 months ago. You may be aware from another thread that...
Having read all about the need to clean the EGR valve on the 2.0 TDi engines, I recently decided to give mine a clean....
Not a desperately difficult job, providing you have a torx bit set, a 10mm socket, some carb cleaner, replacement gaskets (advisable).....and either latex gloves or hand...
As per the title really..........these little critters are bloomin' bright, even in broad daylight :o.k:
Here's how they fit in with the rest of the lighting:
They're the 'outer DRLs' and are just a single LED BA15s bulb.........and although the camera doesn't pick it up, in daylight they're...
Although some may know this, I've just been made aware that my car has been identified by Audi as part of a 'campaign'..........to replace 'unit injectors'!
Having spoken to my dealer, this is not something they are contacting people about, but will check as and when cars come in for servicing...
Dropped quattro in tonight at Lincoln Audi for a full cambelt/waterpump/brake fluid/engine service......check out my courtesy car:
Audi A5 Sportback S-Line Quattro 3.0Tdi
20" Alloys
Bang & Olufsen Sound System
Full Heated Leather
Sat Nav
Reverse Camera
Multifunction Steering wheel
etc etc...
Thought I'd try something a bit different.
Anyone for American style Daytime Running Lights?
Which can work (or not as the case may be) with my 'normal' DRLs
Always happy to give something a go :search:
I was at Cadwell Park at the weekend and saw some blokes tinkering at the front of an SLine B7
I went over to have a look, and duly gave them some advice on how to dismantle the front end to extract the cause.
This is what had happened:
This is the 'bird' that caused it:
:ohmy:
If anyone on here is thinking of adding or changing their DRLs, or indeed modifying their fog light grills - I've tried a few variations over the years and so thought I'd share some of them with you.
Here some of mine, roughly in order - and yes it is all the same car...
First noticed that my boot would release using the remote fob, or the drivers door button.....
Did some research on here and phoned my stealer, who admitted the release solenoid was a common fault..........and they happened to have one on the shelf.
I'm collecting it on Tuesday.
Since...
I was recently unfortunate enough to bend the two drivers side alloys on my B7.......but have decided to recycle them as furniture!
Here's my new coffee table:
