is it only on acceleration, or present during normal running? I had plumes of smoke coming out of exhaust on my 2.5 tdi v6 - present during normal running, once engine was hot. Mine turned out to be crankcase breather filter needed replacing, awkward job as well, as its down in the valley of...

Joss, the boot release mechanism is different as well. Yours appears to be a push-in lock barrel, whereas mine is under that under the lock panel, alongside the number plate lights. It does look a lot of trouble to go to, especially if the paints are different colours. If you still decide to...

the lock for mine is on the central locking, but there is no separate key for it. The ignition key is one key fits all. I have taken the inner boot liner off to have a look at the lock plate, and theres just 2 bolts. The number plate lighting may be a problem, though. The wiring runs in a...

can't make my mind up, to be honest. I liked and was impressed with the originals. You'll have to change your siggy picture now. Like phantom says, they do make the car look more aggressive.

they're an optional extra at time of purchase. I bought my car 2nd hand without mudguards. You would be wise to keep them on as they do protect the sills

you've got mud guards as well? :drool: just pm'd you with my email address

as far as i'm aware, mines in excellent cond. I am interested, but I'm working away for the next 10 days, bstard i know, but can't get out of it. If you're up for it, maybe we could sort something out when i get back. Are the badges just stuck on. The A4 and audi logo are the same, but...

i'm in werrington, between stoke and leek

ah! now i see why you mention the badges - thicko me! i'd possibly be up for that

unfortunately, i haven't got a spoiler to swap, I've been considering buying one. The only spoilers I've seen have to be sprayed, and thats where I'm a bit dubious - I've never ventured further than a brush and a tin of gloss.

whats wrong with the spoiler? I've got a 2.5tdi B5 in silver - similar car and fancy a spoiler on mine

i looked for a haynes manual, but haynes don't do one for the 2.5litre v6 diesel. I'm going to have to get the a4 petrol manual - some repairs will still be covered. I keep hearing the "phrase lock carrier in service position" but never knew what it meant. I really appreciate the advice. I love...

i've now got the a/c belt (in fact there were 2 belts in the pack) but have got to wait a couple of days for the bearing/tensioner. Do you think its possible to replace the belt and tensioner without taking grille and bumper off, because i cannot see the route over the crankcase pulley - its...

thanks olds kool. If the main belt goes, i'm in serious trouble - that is some routing. Its going to be bad enough trying to replace the a/c belt. By the way, whereabouts in sot are you. I'm from werrington

all sorted now - i did have slight accident with fluid jetting out of the vent in reservoir cap. Many thanks to everybody for the help and advice. Byzan, did as you suggested - removed the stupid clip and replaced with jubilee clip. Whilst doing this power steering fluid replacement, I also...

I stumbled across this the other night and thought it may be of help to somebody http://pdftown.com/Audi-PDF-eBook-Category.html

so that heat exchanger loop is where i drain down the power steering fluid then - if i can find a joint? Thanks aragorn, I've found the reservoir now - adjacent the screen wash bottle. Many thanks for the help and advice

thanks for the reply. Is that the loop infront of the rad at the bottom. I must be wrong, but i thought they were steel hoses. I'm sorry for my ignorance, but does this loop have some kind of electrical sensor, - my thoughts were coolant temperature

i've looked through the forums but couldn't find anything detailed. I have been told that i need to replace my power steering fluid on my 2.5 TDi. The bloke told me to find the rubber hose that runs infront of the radiator and to split this inorder to drain off the existing fluid. Power...
