While stationery incressed the revs to 2000 rpm and held it there but after a second revs increase to just under 3000 rpm so slowly let the throttle off to get it back to 2000 rpm but revs don't drop at all until pedal is at idle height at this point engine goes from 3000 rpm to idle. 96 A4 afn .

Cheers Steve got it sorted now bearing would be fitted with bigger internal diameter facing out.

Got a bearing Kit noticed the internal diameter has two different diameters 38.7 and 40.7 which way should face out or doesn't it matter ?

Got it M10x1.25 thread length 20mm

96 Avant 1.9 Does anyone know specs of these bolts length and pitch has a 8mm key head so should be M10? Found conflicting info on pitch 1.25 or 1.5 also any problem with using 12.9 tensile instead of 10.9 looks like I'll have to drill the head off the originals as stuck fast tried heat and impact just won't move.

Can the dials be swapped over ?

think its definitely the oil gauge as just a little tap on the screen in front of it makes it return to normal reading tho some days fine others all over the place. will remove and test the fuel level sender when i have time but think finding a replacement not going to be easy

Thanks Steve will look into that think the oil temp gauge itself is faulty if I got another dash can I open up mine and swap the gauges?

Got two gauges playing up Oil temp sometimes slams straight over to 180 c before starting give it a tap goes back to where it should then creeps back to 180 will it do this if bad/lost connection ? Or bad dial? Fuel gauge only reads from 7/8 of a tank to full no matter how far I drive this has happened recently was perfect before.

Cheers guys map is connected but have the type that's inside the ECU I haven't had a chance to look at much yet as my wife's daily drive and don't have a garage so work is dominated by weather I will get back to you all as I work through this and update. Can you confirm the smaller vac line sizes please as most of the cotton braiding has rotted off and may be causing the lines to collapse.

Can you confirm vacuum hose sizes is it 3.5mm 4mm and 5mm ID ?

Cheers Jason will check through that list engines done 185,000 oil is checked regularly since I've had it and toped up when needed was a little hesitant on full throttle when I got the car but got worse. Actuator works Vacuum pipes are original braided will change them all as most are fraying badly Turbo pipes are dripping with oil could be down to long term neglected cleaning but will check the turbo for wear.

Car accelerates well until just over 3000 rpm then goes flat and get lots of grey smoke get code 00575 map sensor (this type inside ecu ) any usual suspect to check? or any other areas 96 1.9tdi afn
