Re: Diff Drain and Fill Bolts/Plugs HELP!

Changed the Diff oil OK, the rear fill and drain and the front drain are M20, but the front fill is the smaller one similar to the Haldex fill.

Re: Diff Drain and Fill Bolts/Plugs HELP!

I cannot speak from any experience of this arrangement but here is some info from the parts listing: 412525120.png Item 5. N90281802 or N90281803. Both are listed as M10x1x10.

Diff Drain and Fill Bolts/Plugs HELP!

OK changed the Haldex fluid, filter and plugs today. Got the diff oil and Drain and Fill plugs but the plugs are loads bigger on my car. I bought 5 of the smaller Fill plugs like the Haldex plug as I was under the impression they were the same for the Diff Fill and Drain. Every pic I can see of the ...

Re: Before and after MAXX XXtreme Coilovers

The ride is very impressive, I was expecting it to be a bit like my Mondy on Eibach Pro lowering springs but these feel much more forgiving. Can't fault them. But I'm still on 17" rims. Just need to lengthen the drop links now. I altered the drivers side so it could be infront of the driveshaft...

Re: How do I disable H/L levelling?

One of the headlights was moving up and down and then off throwing a CANBUS wobbler. Been OK for a while but not used lights since.
Need to look at the connections and H/L but today I freed up the rear seized sensor linkage .
Not tried the light yet, but just wondered if it was possible.

How do I disable H/L levelling?

Can I disable the headlight levelling by just removing the sensor on the rear suspension? https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51119961966_fe868fe70d_w.jpg Or will this throw the "system" into a wobbler? Could I remove then fix in a set position so the sensor is connected electrically but d...

Service Repair Workshop Manual wanted

Please please can someone tell me where I can get a service/repair/workshop manual for the 3.2 EFI if one exists.

Unfortunately common sense doesn't always come in to it. There are Standards to be upheld! Specifications to be met. That's why we have rules....he says cutting the cats out.

Re: Well what does it really mean ?

If the beam direction and cutoff are well defined there shouldn't be a problem with LEDs. Don't know how that's achieved with projectors though.
I had to remove my after marked HIDs from my bike cos they are illegal. but passed LEDs no problem.

Re: Oil leaking from gearbox. Maybe a hole!!!

If something occurred to leave a hole in the bellhousing I would have thought you might have heard or felt something!
Manual gearboxes/Bell housings have drain holes in the bottom in case of Crankshaft seal failure. Stops the clutch getting contaminated and is a good indication of something amiss.

What oil do you use in your Haldex

Going to change the Haldex oil
I believe my B6 has the Gen 2 Haldex. So I think these are right...
Haldex Oil – (VAG-G055175A2)
Filler Plug – (VAG-N90281802)
Drain Plug – (VAG-N91082701)
Haldex Filter (VAG-02D598574)

What oil do you use? Febi? Genuine?
