    Cold weather gear changes

    Hi Tim - do you do an equivalent to the Redline MTL oil - I have been told that the one I should be buying for my Merc with a crunchy 6 speed when cold but it's pretty pricey for 2 litres

    1.9 tdi 115PD EGR Cooler?

    Hi guys - a few weekends ago I decided to give old Evil Scottsman's Mr Mucle cleaner trick a wizz and to my horror found that beneath that plastic TDi cover my EGR setup looked majorly different to the pics in his post - mainly because there is, what i can only assume, is an EGR cooling system...

    Should i de-badge my car ???

    Loose them all, clean rear looks much nicer and way easier to polish. The whole wolf in sheeps clothing thing is much less boy racery than the 'look what a fast car I have' badgeing anyway :-) The debadged grills look good too, clean and crisp all round will actually make her stand out more...

    Un-Sticking Your TDi VNT Turbo Vanes.....

    I was considering the EGR blanking - does the ECU need reprogramming once done (i.e. does blanking cause any false error's)? Cheers

    1999 1.9 TDi temp gauge not moving and heating only 'warm'

    Sorry for the delay guys, been a hectic few days. So first of all thanks for your input, in hind sight I agree rushing in to changing both may have been a waste of cash, luckily it was a cheap enough part and ruled out a theory my mechanic had that the sender may some how be affecting the cold...

    So - Car is with my mechanic being done now, temp sender and stat, but he bout the sender from Audi and they gave him a diagram of where it should be, and it does not seem to be correct, he has found a temp sensor near the front close to the PAS pump, but wonders if there is maybe a second one...

    Wheels..

    Gutted that they won't just 'fit'. Not sure spending a £100+ on adapters is worthwhile, was looking at the wheels as where a great price at £250 with good tyres and I am going to be spending about that amount this weekend on tyres alone. What size is the 'ET' on my car, is it 35, and what...

    Enthusiasts / DIY Mechanics in Surrey?

    Hi all - sorry i've been quite this week, bust time at work. Decided against swapping any bits over and have put my 18 SE up for sale as it. Instead I want to get to grips fixing the faults I have found with the car so far (that you guys have all helped me to identify): New Thermostat and Temp...

    Feeling dumb for asking but...

    Cheers Aragon - I will have a look into that. 2 totally unrelated things, your link for B5 parts for sale - shows nothing for sale, is there more to come? and how do you get those cool MPG meters at the bottom? Thanks

    Feeling dumb for asking but...

    I think for a first step to go from 115 to a more drivable 140 - 150 with a tuning box sounds like a winner - not sure my wife needs bigger turbos etc (but then you never know). Me on the other hand once I buy my A3 diesel will definitely be looking for the 170+ area :-)

    Advice Tuning box

    Hi ABYSS - just had a nosey on your site - way too many options:-) I have a 115 with engine code AJM, it's a A4 Avant Auto with 5 speed - would I see much of a difference if I fit that pedal box thingy? And which tuning box for normal round town driving, just to get that extra take off when...
