Thanks mate, i will check the tensioner, i really hope its not that though!!! Ste.

Hi, My car was fine until i drove from manchester to london and back the other day, when i got home i could hear the engine rattling, it was like a tin of spanners! if i rev it, the noise goes away. then the next day i was driving to work and it started making a sort of loud whistle?? a bit like...

I didnt change the discs, if it wasnt just before xmas i would have done but i just needed the car up and running fast! i normaly get stuff like that from www.buypartsby.com the rear discs for mine are £12.15 + vat each from there, pads are £11.43 + vat for the set. I just couldnt wait for...

halfrauds said could try them and if wrong get a refund, just fitted them, they are the lucas type. how hard is it to screw back that piston!!! should have bought the proper tool! lol Ste.

Got a grinding on the rear brakes, not the best time of year for it!! just phoned halfrauds and they said is 2 different types, they stock lucas but not teves, does anybody know which i will have? its a 1995 fwd. Cheers, Ste.

I have kerb damaged one of my alloys and its bent!! so im looking to see if anybody has a spare one for sale, its the RS4 replica ET35, i cant ask on the trading section as i dont have enough posts yet, i have tried ebay but no luck.

Hi, well i swapped the wheels around, with the front on the back the noise was still there but no steering wheel wobble, after a bit of swapping around i found which wheel it was, got a mechanic to take a look and the wheel is bent, not by loads but enough that the tyre is not sat in its bead...

The brake pads are new so might be why they seem a bit stiff. I will try swapping the back for the front, i just picked the best make tyres for the front, looking at it now the 2 fronts are very differant tread depths and patterns, i will swap those after work today. Its definatly a head...

Its hard for me to tell, but i have had people in the car and they all say sounds like from the front. listening to it on the way to work this morning and the noise sort of pulses?? Like if something is rubbing/grinding its not doing it all the time. With the front wheels off the disc...

It a 2.6 (fwd). Is no marks on anything at all, they are miles away from the calipers, too far out to rub anything on the suspension and the car sits too high on them to have any problems with the arches? :uhm:

I have just checked and they are off a Quattro, not sure of engine size though.

I have checked everywhere and there is no sighn of anything grinding at all. I have took a few people out in the car and they all agree the noise sounds like when you spin rope really fast. The wheel wobble is only very slight. I have tried putting my old wheels back on and there is no...

Do you think maybe the short bolts in the front could be the problem?? Its a sort of grinding noise and gets louder when braking, also got a bit of wobble on the steering wheel.

I posted about this problem on audifans.net and a guy on there says that by putting the longer bolts in i will have killed my wheel bearings!! So thats probably what it is. Its just confused me how if i used the bolts the guy gave me how come he didnt have the same problem??

I have checked all the bolts and i have 2 wheels with black ones with an audi logo on and 2 with silver ones, i also got a load of silver ones with the wheels, the weird thing is the silver ones are longer than the black?? I have put the shorter black ones on the front as i thought it might be...

Hi, i pulled a wheel off and cleaned off all the dirt to find the writing!! it says replica 8jx18 H2 ET 35 LK. So these should fit perfectly?? Now im really confused.

Yeah its the ones in my pic, where will they rub and how can i stop it???

Not sure how to post pics so i have put a pic of the wheels i have in my avatar, i was told they were originally off an S4 but now im not so sure!!! I will check the wheels properly in the morning. Thanks guys,

Hi, i have a 1995 2.6 V6, it says in my manual that the dash should show the outside temp on the bottom screen but mine is just blank?? its the dash with the big symbols and i think the screen above only shows the current gear on an automatic car. It says VDO underneath, its not the one that...
