Hi, As of today, after 156,210 miles of driving me and the previous owner around, my turbo finally decided to have its last breath and die. Now i need some help and advice as to what to do next. I'm thinking of going hybrid, but need to find out roughly how much it costs. I understand to...

Hi, I have had an airbag fault on my car for the last 6 months or so, and finally got round to scanning it for a fault. I do NOT need an ear bashing for driving around with the fault, i just need help to find out whats failed and how to repair it etc. If you would still like to help, then i...

I need a new flywheel for my car, and thought its time i upgrade my clutch too. The flywheel makes one hell of a racket and has clocked over 150K miles on the original clutch and flywheel (22,000 miles remapped) so i would like to upgrade it to something better than the OEM. Entering my car...

Hi there! As stated above, I have just replaced all the brake fluid in my car with new fluid and once i started the car the RED brake warning lights come on and don't turn off. I've tried getting the cars ABS to kick in to perhaps fix it, and whilst it does kick in, the brake warning light...

Hi, When i drive my 2.0 TDI, i find that during the cold weather if my cars temperature reaches half way on the needle (90 degree's I presume) and i turn the heaters on (HI - HI) my temperature gauge then drops down to 1 quater or less unless im driving on the motorway when it stays at 90...

Right, i've read up on a old post with Devonmikeyboy saying that the 2.0 tdi 140 lumps has CCV that goes straight back into the air inlet or something and so theres no need to replace them. I was wondering whether removing it and cleaning it would be good? I need to replace my rocker cover...

Hi, I thought i'd share a few photos of mine and a friends car. These photos were taken last night as we were bored and thought we'd go for our first official photoshoot. By no means is my friend a photographer. He has no prior experiance or training. Just a ****** expensive camera because...

Hi, I drive a Audi A4 Avant, 2.0 TDI (140 bhp orignally. Now 195bhp/400lb-ft torque) Its done 146,000 on the clock and drives beautifully though sounds like a bag of nails. I've recently serviced her, cleaned out the egr valve (spotless near enough!!) and intercooler so everythings up to...

Today i had a long day ahead of me. Took my car to college and lifted her up on all fours to put the rear anti roll bar in and i took off the EGR valve and intercooler to give them a clean out. Suprisingly, the EGR valve was pretty much spotlessly clean!. I had soot marks on my fingers at the...

Hi, just a quick couple of questions... 1) my air con doesen't seem to want to work after a hour into a long journey. I think its something to do with my pipes freezing up. Should my pipes look like this?? The white stuff is hard-ice/frost...like you see in a freezer. Uploaded with...

Hi, Was wondering what options we have on the avant for bigger/better brakes?! My brakes just aren't cutting it, and the brake warning light is starting to come on, so rather than spending money on the pads now and then later changing again i would like to know what options i have to...

At college i am currently on my level three motor vehicle engineering course, and this year i have my last assignment which is to work on either a college vehicle or my own, and change something on the vehicle. The coursework side of it i will breeze through however i need ideas on what...

Hi, Forgive me if this has been asked many times before, but I've had a search for it through the forum and didn't find anything that was quite like mine, because most people had NOT had their gass recharged and so they had the same sort of problems. I recently got my Air con serviced and...

Hi there. I'm more of a follower than a poster, due to my insufficent knowledge on cars however i'm in a little dilemma and need some advice on what to do, how to go about it and maybe even what to say! I moved from a fautless albeit petrol drinking 8L Audi A3 1.6 to a B7 Audi A4 S Line...

Hi, I read a post on another forum on removing the dash to fix dead pixels and how some people have had their fuel gauge fixed just by removing the plastic fascia and unsticking the fuel gauge so i thought i'd give it a go...
