1.4 TDI Colour Storm at Nottingham

[IvanTang]

After troubling lots of you guys here, finally I got myself a 04 plate Colour Strom 75 TDI from another A2OC member!
Got the car on Tuesday evening, and done a trip from Nottingham to Paris and back in one day on Friday! Already in love with it.
What is the engine code of my car, a later car so it won't be a AMF? What gearbox oil is recommended? And I notice there is a slight down on power, should I take a further look at the shudder valve and EGR for carbon build up?

Attached my lovely quirky two

Thanks again for everyone helping along the way!

If it’s a later car with drum brakes then it will be BHC engine code.

Looks a lovely blue storm and the engine code will probably be BHC. Ive used genuine Audi gearbox oil in the past but there will be cheaper options available. If its done a Nottingham to Paris run there shouldnt be much wrong...it will have had a good clear out.

Really pleased it's gone to a good home and well done on taking the plunge to do the return trip to Paris. Hope the wife likes the car too.

Thank you very much! Was hoping to do the oil and then give a check to the shift tower, as the shift is quite stiff now, and hard to get into reverse.
