Re: E Class Diesel Turbo Merc ??????????????????????????????

The rust has affected cars after 95 mostly Es but also CLKs, Some Cs and a few Ss. Not only is it the water based paints but apparently there isn't enough copper in the steel used.

Re: How much should I pay for a B5 S4

What mods did you do to get 220bhp. I take it that its the 2.5 tdi you've got. Is it 400nm or 400lbft. Right now ive got a remapped decatted Merc e320 cdi. Don't know how much power its got but it feels just as quick as my old K04'd 260 bhp passat. I have timed both from 30 - 70 mph and they both do...

How much should I pay for a B5 S4

Prices vary a lot. Big difference between price guides and adverts. 99V onwards upto 110k. Not really bothered about cosmetics as long as engine and transmission are healthy.

The gpopshop k04-015 is a rebuilt k03 with a k04 wheel IIRC/ On the website they say its good for 210 The way i see it if a bam engine is 225 standard and 250+ chipped then yours should be too.

Re: Turbo without remap

Chipped Uk mapped my aeb when i put a K04 on last year.

Injectors arent too hard to change 15 - 20 min job. You could do it before getting mapped

noise from new discs/pads

Its been a week since the front pads/discs were replaced with a standard disc and greenstuff pads. Occasionally i hear a scraping sound from them. Initially i put it down to them being new, but as i'm away from home its causing me a little concern. Any ideas
