Hi steve i do have a look online mate and being a mechanic and fixings cars im intouch. Just ive never rrally used the brand. Ive heard of the brand just never used them. Its the usual suspects thats normally come up mate. But thanks for the reply mate 🙂

Hi all hope we are all doing well. Havent posted in ages. Got a customer on a tight budget and sadly on front brakes which i normally hate but hey ho. Wondering if the delphi pads are any good on the a4 or if anyone had some experience with them. Ideally id get a good brand myself as its your brakes and not to scrimp on stopping. But trying to do the best i can for the customer any feedback be great.😊

Yea i heard the longlife 3 is the oil to use audi said this too. An yea im kind lf lucky with the castrol with work see so i do use as many of their products as possible

Hi mate it was more of a pole if anything. I got castrol as a sponsor with work so i use their brands. Was just checking to see what everyone uses ect.

Hey all hope were all good this time of year. Christmas is nearly here, i wonder what santa will bring :-). Just curious to see who uses what oil and what types in the pd series engines. And ehat ones you think are best choice.

Hi all just a update new tps came yday. I fitted it and problem solved now. I cleaned all the plugs and wirring looms plus terminals from ecu cover to dash board side with electric contact cleaner and job done. Also the culprit was a ecu tray full of water last year which i drined out and solved by drilling holes in the bottom of it. Also all my plenum chamber drainage holes were blocked and full of crap causing water to come in and wetting the carpets ect. So defo do this even if you havent got problems ok itl save you in the long run. 🙂 big shoutout to Steve on this forum hes been a great help with advice and great communication 😊 all the best

Ok cheers steve il follow this up and the advice. After all i did ask for this 😊 the tps is on its way too. Il see what this throttle body looks like tomorrow and strip it down to see

Thats exactly what i was thinking i thought diesels are more or less controled via injectors more fuel less fuel sort of thing.

Steve just saying you know its a diesel i got rite... They havent got a throttle body have they?? Also i havent got a egr valve as its been deleted with remap Genius mate i didnt think of the throttle body be worth a shot tomoz. The egr was nackered when i done a delete and had the car remaped earlier last year. Im gona order the tps tomorrow ive found one with the correct number. And il strip the throttle body down tomoz and use some egr cleaner on it after inspecting. Cheers steve mate thanks a bunch with the advice appreciate it. Will get get when throttle body is done maybe some pics. Also when the tps comes. Now to find the location of the throttle body. 🙂

This sounds like what happend to mine a while back have you got a engine management or warning light on dash??? The problem i had which was exactly the same was 1st time one of the vacum lines from the turbo went. (Replaced with silicone ones) and second and this was a hard one coz of where it was. I had a tiny rip in the hose from egr delete but underneath on the bottom of the pipe. It was very difficult to see and spot infact took me 3 times to actually find it mate. Worth a go if youve done all that work already. Has any fault codes came up?

Hi steve the wirring i havent changed on my car mind its the same one. And looking at both the throttle pedals they just look like 6 pin connections which look identical mate.

Yea ive tried a petrol one but it didnt work suppose a il have to get a diesel one. Ive seen the hella ones on ebay. I may phone around spares and see if i can get a second hand one to save some money. Do you know if theres different types of tps on diesel models reason i ask if i phoned and said what year the car is being a b6 body would the diesels all be the same?

Also i drilled out holes in the bottoms of my ecu box and that took care of the water in there.

Mine done this exactly the same mime was the relay in the ecu box i cant remember the number maybe 219 soon as checked that it worked. But i sprayed in the box some wd40 contact cleaner first then fitted new relay. 🙂
