bantamdave21 Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Hi Everyone…. No real intent or questions with this post - just wanted to share. Still loving my A4 tdi, just done timing belt and water pump (precautionary as didn’t know precisely last change mileage), replaced aux belt with idler & tensioner too, I have an alternator to fit but ran out of time, also did crank shaft damper in the hopes of not needing to worry about anything at the front of the engine for a while. I’m doing oil changes every 5-6k or so to hopefully help the old girls longevity. Clutch was done a few months ago so just waiting for something to go wrong now…..hopefulyl she’ll behave a while longer… Cheers everyone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bantamdave21 Posted July 17, 2023 Author Share Posted July 17, 2023 Hiya, No I took it to a garage - insisted I didn’t want the DMF changed (I knew it had only done 40k) so only cost a little over £500, which I thought was ok. I’m an ex mechanic but didn’t even consider doing it on the drive. TBH I’ve never done one on this car but it doesn’t look the most straightforward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Pineapples Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Think yourself lucky that you don't need a clutch and flywheel done. Got both replaced recently on a 2014 Allroad Tdi... £1948 😭 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Glad you're still loving your A4. I'm still loving my A6 despite it currently being a drive ornament 🤦♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
