Many thanks guys, the Audi sold yesterday for £2800, bit of a bargain considering the parts on there but the milage was the biggest offput. New owner has sent a deposit and is collecting on Tuesday.

Oh dear, considering you pay a premium and the fact they are an Audi dealership - you would expect the work to have been done correctly.

Just a quick message to say thanks to everyone that has helped me out and offered advice over the past 3.5 years - particularly adamss24. The A4 has been fun to own, had its fair share of issues (camshafts being one), but the time has come to try something else as the A4 has been the longest I...

Selling my A4 if anyone is interested. Have owned for the past 3 years, but its time to move on - she will be greatly missed :( 99p start with no reserve; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/-/391303520954

Few parts im selling on ebay - all start at £1 so may be useful for someone. All for the 2.5 V6 TDi; Set of 4 camshafts Set of 6 fuel injectors Both cylinder heads. http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/frank1builder/m.html?_dmd=1&_ipg=50&_sop=12&_rdc=1

Many thanks Chris, it is an old AFB.

Just a quick question, can anyone advise where I can find the engine code stamped on the 2.5TDi engine? Went to go and have a look at one today, but could not find the engine code stamped anywhere! Probably me being stupid...

I think it was pretty clever what they did - wouldnt be suprised if other manufacturers were doing the same. Would the "defeat device" not just be a seperate map on the ECU? The downside to lower emmissions seems to be at the cost of the car owner nowadays. DPF's are expensive to replace when...

Yep, he's the man.

I always take anything any "mechanic" tells me with a pinch of salt until I can investigate myself. First of all, brake discs dont rot, they rust! Last time my car went to Audi, I was told by a tech that my car was mis-firing even though it wasnt - he was adamant until I told him it was the...

1 - Difficult to tell, could you feel a heavy vibration through the gearknob when idling? This could be down to the dual-mass failing, a failed engine mount. The belts need to be done perfectly on these engines, along with the timing of the fuel pump - needs to be done by someone who knows what...

Yeah, I would blame budget tyres too. When I bout my RS6 reps, they came with fullrun tyres - they were almost new, so decided to run with them until they needed replacing. I didnt get that far with them, after around 2 months of use I thought I had a puncture, took the car for a puncture...

Is there a fuel cut-off switch anywhere?

Greeny223 - most logical answer there - I agree, it looks like a circlip.

Well done, nice bit of fabrication work - thats what I like to see!

If the car has a DIS that shows the range, then it should also show MPG instant and average. One point to mention is to be careful with 2.5 TDi's of this age now, a common issue is cam wear caused by improper servicing. This can lead to the requirement of new cams, rockers, lifters.etc which...

I dont know if you already have an RS4. My point was that im sure quattro-matty knows the rns-e is miles better, but his point in hand was a question to do with the rns-d. If anyone posts with a problem or a question - we may aswell just tell them to sell the car and buy a different one...

Thats not the point - why didnt you buy an RS4? Im sure they are miles better. In reference to the opening post, I have never dealt with an RNS-D, but I had to enable AUX on my Symphony II+ using VCDS. Maybe worthwhile looking at looms from Kufatec or Connects2. Mine is a basic AUX with 3.5mm...

Not a particularly time consuming / difficult job either. I replaced both my front bearings recently - I purchased the new bearing (Febi - £40) from ebay. Removed both front bearings then took them to a local machine shop to remove the hub from the old bearing and press into the new one which...
