As long as it’s been parked in a dry garage for 4 years I wouldn’t have an issue with it being parked up and certainly wouldn’t bother me if it hadn’t been serviced.

Yeah my one sounds exactly the same as that. A lot quieter when the bonnet is shut. Obviously just a noisy engine

That sounds fine to me

I want to do this also! Good find. Looks straight forward enough. I’ll give it a go soon

Thanks! Hopefully it will be nice and smooth.

Thanks mate, I’ll check it out!

Hi guys and girls, I’ve recently purchased an s4 saloon from copart (Salvage auction) and will be documenting the rebuild on my YouTube channel (Saving Salvage). For anyone that is interested I will post a link :) Technically this will be a build thread as I intend to modify the car also...

If you had 6 bar of ac pressure in the system and it wasn’t working still then the leak is not your issue. (6 bar of pressure is fine) The were common issues with the compressor drive screw coming undone (unsure how old your car is). Around 2009-2012 models. Could be a broader range. Does the...

That would probably make sense then if they fitted it.

Yep

I just bought one for my RS3 and it was £37, surely it’s got to be the same part? :shrug:

If you don’t connect the airbag connector I can’t see how it can blow. As it’s only job is to blow when it’s receives a signal from the airbag connector, so my guess it that if it’s not a genuine fuse it wasn’t rated high enough.

Oh was it not a genuine fuse? They are only about £35. The airbag connector is the only thing that can blow it. As the live comes directly from the battery. So highly unlikely to be a spike from there.

So the fuse blew without the air bag connector in?

Is that the fuse with the airbag connection?

To me the fact the clutch and turbo have not previously been replaced I see as a good thing. It means the car hasn’t been driven to death and the engine and gearbox have been well looked after.

Only visibly, which is why he knocked out the dpf inside the original exhaust.

The first thing my mate did was remove the dpf and have it mapped out. Could be an option?

176k wouldn’t bother me at all as long as it’s been properly maintained. My friend bought a Passat (with the same engine) and it’s now on just over 320k. (Ex taxi) he’s had it 2 years now and not had one single problem.
