    3.0 injector problems

    Evening all I've noticed that if my 3.0tdi isles for 5 mins or so that I get some smoke which then clears after some driving. After checking vcds it seems that I've got one injector that's outside tolerance. The others currently are well in tolerance. I could change one but I'm concerned that...

    5 spoke B8 Sline wheels

    Hi All, I've been looking at some B8 S Line 18s and am wondering if they'll fit the B7 OK, I understand that they'll need some spigot rings as the centre bore is different, does anyone know if there's any other issues with the offset etc.? I think they're a 9J and ET52. Thanks

    Anyone had Audi replace their front wings?

    HI All, I've got some rust starting to come through on my drivers front wing, so popped down to the Listers bodyshop to see what could be done on the anti-perforation warranty. They said the rust isn't covered under this as it's due to a paint issue not a steel issue, however Audi would be...

    3.0TDI Tip G.box problems, maybe?

    Hi Guys, Hoping some others that have the 3.0TDI Tip might be able to add to this to see if it's just mine that does it and I've got a problem or if they all do it. I've noticed occasionally when it changes from 3rd to 4th and I'm holding the rpm steady around 3.5K prior to the change, it...

    3.0 TDI Owners

    On average what real MPG do you get? i.e. calculated not from the DIS? I'm getting 30/31 on combined driving, quite a few short journeys when she's not fully getting up to temperature though.

    Subwoofer cover in an avant

    Does anyone else have the problem where it always falls open and no matter what you try you can't get the damn thing to stay shut? Anyone worked out a fix for it?

    Phew, that's a relief!

    So, a few months ago I bought a 2005 3.0 TDI V6 B7, and unfortunately it developed a cam chain rattle. I did a lot of research on here and it looked like the only guaranteed fix was engine out and do all the chains and tensioners, although there was talk of doing the upper right bank tensioner...

    3.0l TDI Cam Chain rattle

    Hi guys, Fairly sure I've got the dreaded cam chain rattle, it does it for a few seconds after start up, but only when it's warm, when it's cold it doesn't do it. I did some reading around and it would appear that the tensioner in the RH bank can be replaced in situ and sometimes that fixes...

    So I've put a deposit down today

    On an A4 Avant 3.0L TDI :D It's an 05 plate, brilliant condition, not a dent on it, 92K miles, a full stamped Audi history and loads of Audi receipts for work done, recently had new tyres on it too. The only work I know it needs is Audi at the last service highlighted an engine mount was...

    3.0 V6 - Anything to watch out for?

    Hi Guys, I'm looking at 3.0l V6 savants as I've found out the fuel consumption isn't quite as scary as you'd think. There was a nice one on ebay but it had a white smoke on idle issue, and after doing some googling that apparently means the injectors are on their way out at £1500 to sort it...

    2.0 TDI Oil pump problems

    HI guys, I'm looking to buy an A4 at the moment, and seem to be able to find problems with almost every model, the most common engine in my price range is the 2.0L TDI, but obviously I've read on here about the oil pump drive problems. What i'm wondering is were there only certain years...
