Karl.

Mines an 03 130, so if i disconnect the vacuum pipe off it, it will no longer run the egr and i wont get a dashboard light?

Sorry to butt in on the op's post lol

I dunno lol, but on mine there was definitly the under tray, then a carpet like cover round the sump.

Your lucky you got the engine to stop!

Oh? ill take a pic of mine so you can see. As far a im aware the underbelly tray on mine broke when my dad owned it and he just didnt bother getting a new one.

Torque i think your getting confused with the bit that fell off, theres the underbelly tray and then the gearbox bit, but on the sump there is a foamy carpet'y cover, mine was falling off after a bird decided to go under my car so i just tie wrapped it back on. I can only guess its some sort of insu...

The only reason we won't adopt the 1 numberplate thing is because we pay for the plates, the government are always looking for ways to save them money, and over there they provide you with the plate, costing them money.

Is it just the case of removing the cat and all silencers then? Does that mean it's a straight through system? Sorry for more questions. :D well yeah a straight through is just a pipe, no silencers or cats, but all that isnt nessasary as I said mine did it from standard it just got louder with the ...

Nope, its some sort of vain on the turbo closing that you cant really hear while its all standard, but I could?

It's not a hard job and you Can change the fronts without undoing the pinch bolt but you will need a bar to push down on the arms to get the strut out sent from my own phone Can coilovers be fitted without doing this? I think the pinch bolt was a bitch when my dad changed something a good while ago...

Basically a mod where you can remove the cat and the silencers so when you back off the throttle your car 'cooooo's'.

Mine used to do it standard, it just got slightly louder with the mufflerectomy.

How mutch for the bar Stu? Well the tow bars NEW are 45, The loom is anywhere from 60-100 NEW (These prices are all off the bay) So based on that, im gonna say the bar for 20, loom for 40 (loom might be too much to take out yet I don't know), or both for 50. It would be collection or meet half way....

This is mine right now http://www.flickr.com/photos/68459852@N02/7301022642/in/photostream Are these pictures what your going to do with the car next year ?? :D it say's on the picture site the photos was taken on 27th Feb 2013 :hyst :hyst Somethings gone wrong with that double quote, it says that ...

It wasn't an easy job getting them nuts out, being of a skinny build doesn't help lol. With regards to the wiring, check behind the rear lights, if the same as mine which I guess it will be, there is an extra loom for the tow bar that plugs in just behind the lights, once you've disconnected this th...

Generally with the zinc inclusions it will be a random spot somewhere,which will look like corrosion but over time doesn't get any bigger/worse, if the paint has flaked you'll see that underneath it just looks like dirty metal. With actual corrosion/rust you can see where the rust is spreading and b...

All I know is I see some with blue tabs on them, and some with yellow haha

Can you tell which version of the human race took this video? fookin love the noise it makes just after i have gone by lol

Maybe a mod could move this from this section to the "members motors and mugshots" for me? =)

I think there are 2 differant types, but dont ask what the differance is. Im sure someone who actually has one of these turbo's might be able to shed some more light on it.

This might be the wrong section, but the ebay links section seemed rather dead, and this could be a bargain for someone Used BV43....£275 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-A4-A5-A6-2-0-TDI-Turbocharger-turbolader-BV43A-03L145702E-03L145701E-/230735152453?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=i...

Ive had one of the ebay ones on my car for nearly a year now, hasnt put a foot wrong.

Update! (not that anybody seems bothered by my mediocre attempts to do things lol) Ive had it back about 2 weeks since the wings went in for painting, washed it a week ago and found the rust is returning but with a vengeance, rang vw and "leave it with me" was all i got. It took him a whol...

I just took apart the plugs disconnected all the wires and taped them individually, then as a group. My dad fitted my tow bar when he had the car (hes an electrician) so he did it his way. It has a selection of relay's and fuses inside the little cubby hole on the right hand side in the boot which t...

I can only answer question 2. Before you do anything make sure its rust/corrosion, my cars got little bubbles all over it that VW wont touch saying there are Zinc inclusions from where the paint has reacted with what they dip it in prior to painting. If its definitly rust then go to VW and dont sett...
