I picked up this wheel quite cheaply from Audi tradition. Not sure about the black airbag with grey bits on wheel though. I wonder could I spray it? Any thoughts?

Hi, Im currently on worn out 195/55/15 budget tyres. Going to switch to Michelin Crossclimate 2 I think as I see some folks here like them. I can get 185/60/15 84H or 185/60/15 88V XL for about the same price. Does anyone have a thought on what would be more suitable? or I can get 195/55 R15 85...

Hi, Hoping someone with knowledge of steering wheels might be able to help. Ive found a steering wheel from a 99 to 2001 A4 S4 Avant that requires airbag 8D0 880 201 H. I have an A2 3 spoke wheel that as far as I know has airbag 8E0880 201. Does anyone know if I'll be able to use the A2 airbag...

Hi, I snapped off a sensor just where the oil feed line for the turbo is attached near the front of the engine on the housing for the oil filter. Its a 1.4 TDI AMF. Ive been trawling eta but having a bit of trouble working out what it is I snapped. Ive circled it in red in the attached pic...

Hi Everyone, So Im at a loss really as to what is causing a noise in my 1.4 TDI AMF. Im attaching a link to a recording and would really welcome suggestions. Which I'll then feedback to the mechanic who is also a bit mystified at this stage. Basically there are two symptoms. 1) A rattle when...

Hi Should there be something connected to the small spout at the bottom of the intercooler? Looks like a connection for a vacuum pipe or something. See pic. Many thanks N

Hi Everyone, In the never ending saga of getting my A2 back on the road I seem to have a small oil (not diesel) leak from just under the tandem pump. I just wanted to check if anyone had advice on fixing this, as in whether its new pump or just a gasket or seal? It's an AMF engine with a LUK...

Hi, After a 30 minute drive I noticed that my alternator is very hot. Just about too hot to touch. Im just wondering if this is normal? It had a new bearing and pulley put on it recently and runs quietly. Just not sure if getting that hot is normal. Thanks N

Hi everyone. It never ends. Car went in for NCT (MOT equivalent) last week but couldn't be tested as the tester luckily spotted the auxiliary belt was badly worn. Got a new belt fitted and mechanic told me the alternator pulley was wrecked, which he reckoned could have been the cause of the...

Hi Everyone, Apologies if Ive missed this in another thread. Could anyone who has put the 6 speed MYP gearbox from a Passat into a 1.4TDI 75 with the AMF engine let me know whether they kept the starter motor that was with the AMF engine or replaced it for something else please? Many thanks Nick

Hello Everyone, Im looking for a little advice. My intercooler has split (2002 1.4TDI AMF, 172000 miles). It had been whistling for 2 years on and off (didnt know the intercooler was the cause of it) but now its more like a hoover when i accelerate. No warning lights or limp home but big loss...

Hi everyone. So. Bit of a mid step today. Let's not get into the how now that I've calmed down :) I now have 0.5 litres of Mobil 2t two stroke oil mixed with the lubricating oil in my engine. Luckily car only drove 1 mile before I found this out. Solutions pleas? Can I just do an oil and...

Hi, I just had the front shocks and springs replaced (Koni FSD with Spidan Springs). Mechanic discovered the back shocks though are also shot. The fronts were replaced under warranty by Koni (rusted very badly). Is there any reason i shouldn't put monroe reflex on the back? Thanks Nick

Hi Folks, I have a broken front spring and hoped someone might give me a recommendation for replacement. The car is a 1.4tdi with koni FSD and weitec springs on front. These were put on about 6 years ago. I'm most interested in comfort. The car has 195/55/15 tyres. What is the recommended...

Hi All. Strange one here. When i turn on the ignition I get a strange 'groaning' sound coming from what seems to be behind the glove compartment somewhere. It lasts a few seconds. The interior fan is off so its not that. Any ideas what it may be? If i switch off ignition and then on again I'll...

Hi Everyone, Ive been advised I have a droplink in need of replacement. I remember here some folks recommending myele h/d as opposed to oem. Can anyone advise whether they still think these are good and if so where to get them? Or if I should just go with what the audi dealer sells. Also I...

Hi, Just wondering if anyone had some advice on what I should look for. Today suddenly my 2002 TDI 75 refuses to go into reverse. The rest of the gear changing is fine and I drove home ok (luckily could roll back out of parking space). Again when i got home it wouldnt let me engage reverse. No...

Hi, Just wondering if anyone could advise me a bit. I got my 75Hp tdi remapped on friday. They dynoed the car before and after. Ill try and upload later once I find a scanner. The peak torque and power went up nicely from 81.8bhp@3785 to 95.4bhp@3783 and 159.4ftlb@2432 to 173.3@2529. The...

Hi, Just wondeering what are users opinions on tyre rotation? I'd never thought about it but I now have very worn front tyres (must be replaced) and my backs have loads of grip left on them. I can only afford two new tyres. Should I a) replace the front ones or b) replace the front ones and...

Hi, To fix the usual split plastic and slipped bar problem I fitted the polo bushes today. To stop sideward movement I used battery terminal clips which I got in halfords for 5 euro each. Worked perfectly. I cut off the bit on the clips for attaching the wire leaving me with a neat collar...
