Today two very nice rear brake drums arrived in the post from Crewe Audi.....
With the use of wheelie bins and paint cans, to get underneath the rims, I have just used a full spray can of matt silver rustoleum.....that should keep the rust at bay for a while.Dave, a thread I follow on detailing world a chap uses Rustoleum BBQ/stove paint to great effect.
Today I finally got round to replacing the rubber mounts on the rear springs. The bottom ones had completely disintegrated. Must be lugging bits of A2 all over the country that did it ?
I also replaced the rear shoes, drums and springs whilst the car was airborne.
I will do that it's not a priority at the moment Thanks AndyWhy not just jack the wheels up, spin hard and listen should tell you which one. - Andy
I could have collected gearbox for you Paul, to late now but Amazing mpg for speed.On Sunday I had a 300 mile round trip to Sunderland to collect a gearbox
I was not driving for economy at all as I was running late 80mph on motorway then 60 plus on single carriage way and 70 plus on dual carriage ways
I beet the satnav arrival time by 14 mins which gives a flavour for how I was driving on clear roads in great conditions
I filled up when I got back had did the journey on just under £25 of shell std diesel that works out at 70mpg
One in the car going up and one plus a 45 kg gearbox coming back?
I concur with Ross for an 18 year old car it’s quite remarkable
We had a run to York st Friday and Saturday in wiffies DS3 1.2 turbo petrol and only got 50 mpg all be it three in the car

yes I was chuffed when I filled upI could have collected gearbox for you Paul, to late now but Amazing mpg for speed.
it certainly was, I am still in the proving stages, but I still think I am getting an extra 6mpg, now checked and consistent over 3 tanks of fuelWas that mpg achieved with your 'hollowed out' EGR?
Likely not, but I better not describe whyIn the case of bhc and atl egr valves this looks good in principle for sure.
Given it already works on pd130 then I'm guessing it's clear it will have benefits on the later 1.4 tdis.
I'm guessing also that remap files may need modified to remove any egr bypass (more of a generic question rather than specifically targeted at any one remap offering)
