I’ve been busy in the workshop over the last few days getting ready for the tdi servicing that will no doubt be taking place now the weather is starting to improve

So anyone intending to change the diesel filter on the latter plastic housing filter get your aluminium drain screw now before you change the filter
I’ve lost count of how many of these I’ve sent out recorded before 9am delivery because the plastic screw broke and the member can’t stop diesel leaking out of the filter housing
Drop me a PM for further info

Cheers. Paul

Didn’t have much time today, but managed to re-attach more bits!

Once the ecu and EGR come back it’ll be ready to go! Also need to fit some spacers to the dogbone mount, got some nylon ones coming of various sizes.
 
Alison is worked hard and is 19 in September. Check out our mpg figures (achieved without trying) and see how relevant the basic concept still is. Alison is an unmodified 1.4TDI on Michelin Crossclimate 2 tyres.

Huh, that does not look so good to me.
I easily get this (or lower) with my primary car Octavia 3 2.0TDI DSG with 150HP. But I do not have any short driving... Only long travel.

Thankyou for your imput. There is a mixture of long and short journeys and of course, as I said, I didn't try to be economical. When I do, I can get 67mpg.

I get nothing like that on my 1.4 petrol, more like 7L/60miles, but I only drive short distances, work, shopping etc, and no motorway, maybe 1x a year I drive longer than around 30min at once.

I can vouch for the quality, better than if Audi did it themselves

The clutch slave is not difficult to bleed / flush. Audi decided to only fit one reservoir and as such it provides the fluid for BOTH the brakes and the clutch.

I bleed the brakes first, furthest from the reservoir back to the closest. Once the brakes are done I then do the clutch. Nothing special is needed to bleed the clutch. Never pressure bleed the clutch. Only the correct size spanner for the nipple, some clear tubing about a foot long and some type of container to catch the used fluid. Being plastic be very careful when slackening or tightening the nipple as it can shear off easily.
Fit the spanner onto the nipple so that it can slacken it, fit the clear pipe over the nipple and the other end into the container. Have some of the previously bled off fluid in the container to seal the end of the pipe. Undo the nipple about 1/4 to 1/2 turn and the fluid should just start to enter the clear tube. Make sure the reservoir is overfull of fresh fluid then gently press the clutch pedal to push fluid out. Ideally have someone watch the fluid and once looks fresh and clean shut the bleed nipple gently.

IF THE CLUTCH PEDAL FALLS TO THE FLOOR WHILE DOING THIS DO NOT PANIC. JUST SLIP YOUR TOES UNDER THE PEDAL AND GENTLY RETURN IT TO THE UP POSITION.

Check the level is now correct and fit the cap. Press the clutch pedal a couple of times to ensure it is now returning as it should. one last check for leaks and you are good to go.

As always dispose of the used DOT4 responsibly and not down a drain.

Can you explain the reason to never pressure bleed the clutch?

Superb! Are you doing a youtube vid for the JDD install?
How do you find the drive (or have you not been out in it yet?)

I will eventually 😂. All filmed ready to edit.

Took it for a quick drive. Bit odd at first, as I’ve had both the gearbox upgrade and a remap. Almost felt there was no map!

Then I started getting used to the ratios and it’s really nice. Nowhere near as sluggish as some may have feared!

You certainly have wasted no time getting your A2 up to scratch! Look forward to the video especially as you seem to take a real life/honest approach instead of one minute its in bits and the next your belting it down the motorway like a lot of vids do!
 
Prepped Tonka for his new windscreen. 😊

And a couple of hours later after a visit from a cracking young man from auto glass

I’ve got a lovely new windscreen ready to pop my new auto dimming mirror onto when it arrives from @A2Steve and then it’ll be off for the MOT
