Petrol

It's usually this little sod that causes the leaks, good news is you can do it by just removing the cam chain tensioner bolts and lift it up, fiddly but doable, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ELRING-Cam-Chain-Tensioner-Gasket-Set-863-590-for-Volkswagen-058-198-217-T2043-/161980360181?hash=item25b6c825f5:...

Well 58 sold so I'd think so, my friend at the garage said he'd done a few of them. Not really a big job to do, timing belt off and timing plates etc, crank pulley, then it's only six bolts and the front cover comes off,but I had the sump and there's four bolts I think. Not that you'll have to worry...

Aye, fitted on a good few of the vw Audi range up to 2009 I think, did you notice how many he had sold

Found it http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AUDI-A3-A4-A6 ... yP29Gm9bTw

That appears to be for the timing chain tensioner, I'll try the Vw dealer tomorrow, same part anyway, thanks

I need a part number for the oil pump tensioner arm, my A4 decided to eat it If anyone could be so kind to find the number for me, that would be great. Please

Car details are, Audi B6 A4 Quattro, engine code BFB oh, and it's 2003, thanks.

Apparently there is a larger capacity oil filter for the 1.8T Engines. Part # ? There are several different oil filters that fits on the 1.8T Engine, but number 3 is preferred and is most common. 1. = Volkswagen # 074 115 561 2. = Volkswagen # 068 115 561 B 3. = Volkswagen # 068 115 561 F 4. = Volk...

That's brilliant cheers for that! Is there a step by step guide on here, I did a search but would find anything! Have a look at this video, I don't think you'll need to go to these extremes as the Americans tend to use really poo oil in their 1.8t's but it covers a few jobs and pay attention at the...

Evening all Going to change oil at weekend, just want to check which grade oil to use, Also apparently there is a larger capacity oil filter, where is this from? Thanks in advance Craig You will really struggle to find better or cheaper oil than this especially in 1.8t http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Qua...

Yeah I think they do have the plastic impeller but I've used a few of them now with no issues whatsoever as long as they are changed whenever you do a timing belt change you should have no issues Is this make any good, I can't remember what you said about them http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291080793992...

I thought it might be the same as the AWT but wasn't sure as BFB block is 06B and AWT is 06a. O 'rings would be much appreciated mate thanks :-bd, does the Meyle pump have plastic impeller, looks like it. So you get the Kia soon, remember you can't fix anything on it when it's under warranty :hyst Y...

I'll be getting another new one in 3 years time :D To be honest I was so imprest with the one I had on hire, it was a no brainer for me, I am collecting it next Thursday lunchtime But you should find a Quattro pretty useful round your way, you got any pics of it yet?? Hi mate ☺you wouldn't have a...

If you do go Calum I'd like to express my thanks! :-bd Like many on here I came across this forum whilst googling a solution to a problem, and you were the first guy to respond and help me out. Since then I've done my best to chip in my tuppence worth when other members are struggling and I may be ...

Don't go I'll miss you :(( Hope you enjoy the new car and whichever forum you join it won't be as boring as the Kia Sportage one :hyst :hyst All the best if you do leave :ymhug: I'm sure the email link will still work if you're missing me that much Paul :hyst 7 year warranty, whats to complain abou...

Thanks guys

It seems that the petrol powered cars are falling out of favour for their more frugal diesel cousins and that's a path I refuse to take, what I have learnt about the 1.8t is less and less relevant these days,

Well after 10 years of Passat ownership, I'm leaving the forum. I have my replacement coming tomorrow, a B6 Audi A4 1.8t Quattro SE 163 hp :D I must say I'll miss the forum as it's the best I've found so far, hopefully I'll find a similar Audi forums, any recommendations anyone? =(( I'm sure I've an...

Such a shame, surely if you have the replacement injector it has to be worth fittng it, or has the experience been that bad you just want rid?

How about a low mileage B5.5, bit pricey but........ clean as a whistle and in your colour http://www.autotradeayr.co.uk/used-cars ... 1220306002

As long as it's off a petrol and manual box NOT automatic,the driveshafts are the same size, auto's and diesels are larger diameter shafts.

One it starts rattling/knocking it's time to go, personally I can't bear the noise.

Thanks for the info. I agree, might as well do all four. I think one of them was done about 2 years back so at least one bolt shouldn't be seized. Should I get 2 new pinch bolts and go get the garage to swap them over so they will be easy to remove and then do the rest of myself? Yeah that's what I...
