Mystery white crystals/powder forming on seat
Steve Q replied to Mike St Cross's topic in Audi Q7 Club
Hope you got it out before it has a chance to stain. -
It could be an engine mount, gearbox mount, driveshaft or durl mass flywheel.
-
Could it be a maf sensor?
-
What's it doing? Or dare I not ask! I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see what fault codes flag up 🙂
-
Nine one! It's good when you bag a bargain
-
I believe demon tweeks sell them 🙂 https://www.demon-tweeks.com/uk/performance/exhausts/catalysts-manifolds-downpipes/sports-catalysts/

Has the engine been coded to the ECU etc as I'm wondering if it could be an imobiliser issue?
-
Have you had a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up? Could it be the turbo? If you're loosing coolant then it's got to be going somewhere. Could be a failing expansion tank cap.

It's not easy to source parts I find. Especially with the increase amount of scammers.

Audi A6 Avant 2002 / oil warning light on ... plenty of oil
Steve Q replied to Duncan Sim's topic in Audi A6 (C5) Forum
I'd say it could be an oil pressure switch. I'd also recommend getting an oil flush too. -
Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂

Speak to autologics or Audi retrofits as members have used them and been happy with the results

I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. Could be a motor the climate control module.
-
I believe the two common issues are with the timing chain and injectors/injection module etc. As with any Audi engine service history is key.

Sorry, it looked like a 12v socket for a cig lighter. But my eyes aren't great. Yep it could be a clip or could be the latch for that compartment door.
-
I'd also consider the mercedes om617a turbo diesel engine as fitted in the w123 or w124 as it's a hardy engine. But I'd want one that's new, which will be more expensive and harder to source bits for than the river V8.
-
Exactly, I could run it on carbs if I wish. Plus no turbo or egr to worry about. Glad it'll fit. Would my 6 speed manual gearbox work or would I need to fit a T5 gearbox?
-
I'm wondering this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/195697202625?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=JbL9iQ_JQSW&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=IE07kO4STZy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY A rover v8 was a suggestion from a colleague ex mechanic. Wondering whether simplicity is the way forward? The question is, would it fit? And would it mate to the current gearbox? 🤔
-
Thanks Kev, Think I'm aiming for a new engine, what ever engine that might be lol.
-
Glad you got sorted 🙂
-
MMI unit faulty - crazy cost to replace! HELP!
Steve Q replied to A3Etron's topic in Audi A3 (8V) Forum
No probs at all 🙂 please keep us posted on how you get on 🙂 -
I believe it's a 12v socket.
-
Just an update. One of the garages who were looking to do the work ha e informed me that getting internal parts are proving hard to source. I believe this to be true and not being fobbed off as the garage is run by the son of a good colleague of mine. So I may have to look at a totally different engine after all.
-
My friend has used stance + on his A3 8v. You could always look at a bilstein kit.
-
I'm always sceptical of cheap Chinese parts. Can't go wrong with bosh.
