Hello! My turbo is on its way out and I already have a replacement, however the replacement unit was a used part off another car which I purchased about 3 years ago and never used. Its since been in storage in a box, with the air inlet and exhaust outlet sealed. My question is whether this is...

Anyone able to advise me on what clutch kit I should be getting for a BMN with a single mass flywheel conversion? I can't seem to find anything other than full conversion kits. Can anyone tell me whether SMF and DMF clutches are the same or are they different? Fairly certain I have a Sachs...

Just after someone who could maybe show me an ETKA diagram of whats situated underneath the intake manifold (BMN). I've had a slow leak that only becomes apparent at full running temp and is leaking onto something else hot because its burning off into steam making it difficult to pinpoint where...

So this happened.... Now, i have searched a fair bit and have been unable to find anything definitive. My problem is that there are a load of a3 spares available but no one seems to know what they actually have. By this I mean that my car has the s line suspension with the 25mm drop from...

Just a quick one to show off the new sidelights i got from t8ups, I had the 9 led 501's previously and replaced them with these 3 led cree bulbs. They're far superior, the light is way more intense and look like pure white rather than the purple/blue tinge the old ones had. It was hard to...

Had a search can't really find much on the 8p side of things. Has anyone successfully changed the front wishbone bushes on the car themselves? I have powerflex versions for both front and rear bushes on the front wishbones. I dont have a ramp so it'll be done with the car on stands. I've got a...

Just after a bit of advice from fellow owners. I've had my PD170 for nearly 2 years now and have had countless amounts of problems and spent way more on it than should have been spent. Anyhow its time for a change.... Im struggling to see past changing the car for anything other than another...

Had a search can't seem to find the answer... I have an older RNS-E (192H). I need to update to SW0650 in order to get my aux-in retrofit to function correctly. Will any disk work? I've seen a fair few on ebay all the way up to the latest 2013 version. My worry is some of the versions may only...

So i'm trying to figure out what way to go about storing stuff in my boot. I'm currently on my third cardboard box which eventually like that last two will become weak and just break. I've got a sub in my which takes up a quarter of the boot space but that moves around alot aswell, especially...

Anyone have any ideas on how to prevent this? It always seems to be after i've just cleaned the car too which is really annoying. Main thing im worried about is scratches, i've already got some bad scratches on the roof because of it, the bonnet is ok aside from loads of muddy footprints. Don't...

Dont know if anyones tried this yet but i was messing around with either google maps or ios maps in the car the other day trying to find a route (whilst parked up) to somewhere i had to walk to. So the route starts, but the audio came through the car?! on the MFD it said the phone name, similar...

Just wondering if anyones successfully done this on the PD170? After reading the threads for the b5 and b6 a4's with the 1.9 and 2.5 tdi lumps I've been wanting to do this with mine. I know for sure its the case that the vanes aren't free to move properly, i'm getting overboost and limp mode...

Anyone had any problems with canbus LEDs recently? Since the weathers got colder my lights continuously stop working. If im sitting at idle they'll stop. If i rev over idle speed they'll come back on after switching the lights on and off. Back to idle and it'll turn off again, so im constantly...

Hello B7 owners! Long story short, I currently have an 8P2 A3 PD170 S-Line and i've had nothing but problems with the diesel lump and the car in general so it's time to say bye bye. This is the first and probably last diesel i'll be owning for a while so it's time to turn back to a petrol...

Anyone come across, or used one of these before? I'm extremely tempted to buy one, it uses the cd changer or ipod connector from the glovebox and gives u a proper ipod connection to whatever stereo you have. For me, I have an RNS-E, and the ipod connections crap to put it simply. Doesnt work...

I've searched this but can't seem to come across anything for 6 speed manuals only for DSGs. One of my driveshafts has just been changed and i've only had the car back 2 days, done say 50 miles or so over the last two days. However i dont know if the transmission fluid had been topped up, i...

Re: here you go This is a brief guide for wiring in an ignition source for an aftermarket stereo. If you're changing your stereo then you'll need to do this in order for the stereo to turn on and off when you take the keys in and out of the ignition...

My driveshaft somehow managed to pop out yday, no idea y, transmission fluid has come out too. My mum was driving the car at the time so not sure what the cause of it was or how it even came out, all i know is that it needs fixing. 2.0 TDI BMN PD170, '56 non quattro, sportback. Is there...

As title, im looking to get a supposed low mileage PD170 turbo tomorrow. I'm not buying new, can't afford it, simple as. I'm not too clued up on what to look for with the turbo other than play in the shaft. The one im looking at has a broken actuator sensor that he says can be replaced with the...

Right... Starting from the initial purchase of my car (BMN PD170), there has always been a smoking issue more apparent on cold start up. Its a bluey sorta smoke that i'd associate more as an engine smoke rather than say a condesation being burnt out. This eventually turns into a more typical...
