When I've rebuilt calipers, I've used Lockheed red grease (developed for hydraulic applications) under the dust sleeve and piston bore and on the sliders. Also check condition of sliders. Any surface ...

I've been using Castrol Edge 5w30 In the A4 and A2 for the last 5 years (and genuine Audi filters) every 10k without issue. Avoid engine treatments such as STP oil flush prior to pulling the sump plug ...

Too much oil is as bad as too little. As QJ suggests, more than likely a sensor. Short-term, I'd look at option of removing excess oil. Easiest way is to drop sump plug momentarily, then recheck level ...

Dunlop Sport Fast Response. Regularly return 40-44mpg in my 2.5TDI V6, and expect 20-25k before replacing. Very Happy

Still looking - for that 1.8tq avant is more elusive than the holy grail!

I checked out my usual sites and nothing... except this: http://www.autostationa96.co.uk/used-cars/audi-a4-2-0t-fsi-quattro ...

I've got a 2001 plate A4 2.5 V6 quattro avant sport (manual). Fantastic for long drives (6-speed), and it's nippy through the gears. However it's heavier than the 1.9 and drinks like Oliver Reed (bles ...

sdk778's instructions are spot on. Here's a link with pictures. http://www.audiworld.com/tech/wheel43.shtml Very Happy

I have B5 model. Thermostat probably hasn't worked for about 2 years. I'm getting it replaced when the timing belt is changed, as it can't be done any other way. Heaters don't blow hot enough. Luckily ...

Not sure regards the B6, but on the B5 avant the pipe runs just above the access hatch as shown in your picture. You shouldn't have to haul any more trim off... it's there somewhere. It goes to the ta ...

Regards petrol v diesel debate, (before you even look at particular models), you need to look at your own annual mileage, types of roads that you're likely to be driving on, and the needs of your car, ...

I was advised to get the car to operating temperature prior to pulling the plugs. Might help if you have a sticky one, and could be the difference between breaking it or removing it. Let me know how y ...

Weymss... Came across this. 233bhp version, no leather and is auto tip box. Rolling Eyes

Pretty sure they will only do an emissions test if you specifically request it and outline the problem you're having. However they can scan the car for faults to see if it's a faulty Lambda sensor, id ...

Check the rear wiper motor first, as the brass pipe that runs to the water-jet can break and allow water to run down the inside of the tailgate and into the spare wheel recess. There is a VAG kit for ...

Yes, I'll give that a go. I intend to get underneath and change the diff oil, so I'll give the bushes a squirt while I'm there.

I was trying to look at the shock top mount, but it's all hidden away ...

Check out Jason's thread on replacing the pick-up pipe on his 1.8T... make sure that your first job if you buy one. Wink

Very best wishes. Normally the dad gets left out initially as everyone fusses over the wife and newborn. Enjoy the days and years to come... (you'll be constantly smiling!) http://www.easyfreesmileys ...

Rear ARB bush or drop link. The drop links are hoor'n expensive from main dealer. Don't think you can source after-market links for the rear either.

Very, very nice. http://serve.mysmiley.net/happy/happy0034.gif

Interesting thread... and all the fixes look top-notch. http://serve.mysmiley.net/happy/happy0034.gif

Ever thought about selling cars for a living!!!

It's like Match.com... but for cars! Laughing

I'd be rubbish. I'm not much of a haggler, and tend to over-price things. I'd rather work on em than s ...

Wemyss - that's half the battle. You've got the money, you know the specific model, and specification... so now you just have to wait it out. You know if you compromise it will irritate you every time ...

Yeovil... that's a journey and a half. I drove down there in 2010 to pick up a new boat, which turned out to be damaged so ending up driving home again minus the boat. I was so angry I could have gone ...

All garages in service book called and none have done timing belt so after a few quotes (Audi £900) the Indy who is doing my cruise control on Fri is now also doing timing belt and water pump etc for ...

I've seen snow in April. Granted I'm further north... but we're not out of the woods yet. Wink

Get the thermostat (genuine Audi one which has been tested), water-pump and auxilliary drive belts done at the same time.

Did Autostation A96 ever get back to you? Their 3.0 TDI has less miles for similar price (although it's 2005), although there is some haggling to be done as it's over-priced in my opinion. The one on ...

Split rear ABS ring. Sad

Easy enough job to pull the axle drive-shaft on both sides. Undo axle/hub nut, raise car and remove road wheel. Undo splined bolts at rear diff. You'll need one rear wheel ...
