    Fitting a new TB / Anti shudder valve

    Right, I understand. I'm fitting a new vacuum solenoid valve block when it arrives in a few days as mine was running a bit smokey.

    New A3 Sportback owner....

    Hi, Collecting my first ever Audi dizzle this weekend, had a few Audi's (petrols) inthe past - most noteable being a B6 S4. Needed something which averaged slightly higher than 10mpg for my daily commute 23 odd miles so hopefully this should see me right. Its a 2006 2.0tdi "sport" 5dr. Tested...
