Gonna be changing this when new one arrives any tips on removing or is it just a bolt in bolt out task??

you could probably recon the head, refurb turbo. £1000 i would have thought.

On a few occasions when I have gone to start my car, I turn the key & it won't start, I here a clicking at the engine but no starter, I'll return the key to off position & try again, it's fine. A few days ago I had to do this twice. But it did start on the third try. Car is B5.5 TDI Any help...

I can't believe the difference it's made, it revs freer, smoother idle.

gonna sell it on E-bay for £20 a pop, clear the shelves in ASDA!

I Mr muscled my Turbo today, took a couple of hours for soak time, I also cleaned the EGR. The Turbo was easy just a case of removing EGR pipe & spraying the oven cleaner into the turbo. I used some 3mm clear tubing & pushed onto the bare valve, ensure you buy oven cleaner where the valve st...

My car is suffering MPG Wise, at the moment only managing 40mpg can coolant sensor cause this? also the sensor behind the fuel filter is this a temp sensor for fuel? if so where can I get one as this i reckon could also be contributing. Gonna Mr Muscle the Turbo tomorrow & EGR which I think will...

I'll have to get some mr muscle in it that should help for now.
Cheers

good site german spares, bookmarked thanks

I changed VAC pipes in summer could the N75 cause this?

Hi Guys My AWX B5.5 has developed a problem, in the morning when accelerating up a long straight 70-80mph all power disappears as if the bost has been cut, I'll pull up stop the engine & restart & it's fin. No lights on dash or anything. Then on the way home after 20-30 seconds the car shake...

No wonder they sorted your arches considering how much you must have spend with them.

I've got my passes ready to go on Thursday Morning for a full weekend of WRC Action
Anyone else going??

Fast & Loud is good
Wheeler Dealers is good
Mighty Car mods is good too
Bangla bangers & Chop shop is the best!! With Lipu

Yeah i thought that, but checked fuses & all is fine, might get multi meter out

about 12 months ago The brake light switch failed, Glow plug light Flashing, ABS & ESP Light on Same thing happened again on weekend, so I changed the switch but the dash lights etc remained, not brake lights. I stripped the old switch & it all seems fine, It could be coincidence but at the ...

interparcel.com are good, they use all major couriers, UPS collect from us, any UK Destination Approx £13, 2 day service

The flexi bit on my down pipe has split so it looks like a new downpipe & cat, which got me looking at De-cat pipes.
I understand that the MOT doesn't check for Emissions on a TDI, but will de-catting give an emissions light on the dash?

Thanks in advance

I had a set ib my lower grilles, looked ok but the weather screwed them

Thanks for your help your really great!
I finally got off my bum & managed to measure it, not with a Tape but with a vernier Caliper!!!
80 god dam Millimeter for those wanting to fit a cone!!

I had one on mine for a few years but it eventually fell apart.
It does give a nice sound though, which I miss. So........ any idea on this size or am I gonna be Blanked!

I want to put an cone filter back on my car, got rid of old filter, anyone know what the neck diameter needs to be?

Thanks
Chris

EGR delete only works with older B5.5 (up to 2003) 2004 models have the function as part of the ECU so throws a Emisions light cos no EGR gas flowing. Reducing the amount of EGR gas keeps the sensor happy & reduces the cack going into the engine. & clogging up the Intke part of the system

Egr deleting is very effective, but if you have a late 2004 b5.5 tdi you're likely to get a light on your dashboard unless you get the egr written out. What I propose to do is to get a egr blanking plate and drill an 8 mm hole in the centre, apparently this substantially reduces the exhaust gas ente...

Expensive!!
