    Haldex replacement

    Evening all, To cut a long story short my Haldex got ruined by a main dealer on a brake test dyno and is now u/s - they are accepting no responsibility for the damage. Audi have quoted the car as being a gen 2 Haldex (0AV) but the one I have found to replace it is a gen 4 (0BR), is it a...

    Air Con Query

    As a rule of thumb if the air coming out the vents is between 8-12c cooler than the cabin temp when it is on max (lo) and have the fans set to auto, there is no problem and the system is working efficiently. it is just overwhelmed by the heat loading inside the cabin. Don't waste the cash...
