Well another day at it.
Today's list was to:
Replace pcv gasket
Clean TB and replace gasket
Replace evap pipe work
Replace n80 valve
Look into why the rear disk was marked.
So rear disk, cracked on with this straight away, 5 minutes and it was all apart and off, not bad to say I hate brakes, turns out the brake pad shim at the bottom had somehow ended up in contact with the disk, removed the outer pad and pulled the shim away from the disk, reassembled and all looks good.
Next was all of the above. Mostly it was a success, the only thing I didn't do was the evap pipe work and that's due to Audi been dicks, all the pcv and evap screws are t20 bits but the 1 screw that holds the main boy of the evap in place is a pz2 star bit, could I hell as get this out, the room in which you have to get a screw drive or ratchet is a joke, I ended up using a 1" screw driver but couldn't get the force applied to remove it, had to give up in the end and leave, it'll get replaced when the inlet comes off.
So the rest of it, I believe the pcv valve was leaking due to the old rubber seal, once he new one was on a took a lot more force to screw it in place, you could feel it squashing the new rubber seal, rather than just going straight in like last time.
TB was abit of a bitch, the rear right torx screw isn't the easiest to get out let's say but I managed it, as you can see the TB wasn't too bad but was quite mucky.
Sorry for the lack of photos but I'd spent over a hour in that screw and had lost all patience by then.
Point to note as well the TB was very dirty around the seal area, looks like the old seal had been leaking, good job I'd learnt my lesson and ordered a new one haha.
Last job was the n80, this was pretty straight forward, old one off new one on although I don't think it was faulty so kept the old one as a spare.
Last off was to reset the TB, 2 minute job with vcds.
So the car is totally different to when I bought it, now drives smoothly and comes in power when it should, the ideal also seems to be bang in but I need to drive it more with stand still traffic, only done 2 straight runs with little stopping.
I still don't think the car is as fast as it should be but it is only 200bhp as standard and on top of that there's the weight and transmission losses, my old s3 would destroy the a4 no matter what the condition and I think the Mrs mk2 Leon tdi fr would as well.
