Enjoy! Hope you're pleased with it. You might find some YouTube videos worth watching.

I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up

It may well have been. Nice addition to have

Keep us posted on how you get on 🙂

Glad you got sorted 🙂

A diagnostic check is best to see if any fault codes flag up.

Manual or auto?

Thanks mate, might be looking at a totally different engine now. Just torn between options. Either way it'll live again.

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂

Thanks kev 🙂

I'd recommend you speak to an auto locksmith to sort a key for you.

It's not a standard feature. Think it's included in one of the packs.

Just an update on my research, coming back to the 2ar-fxe Toyota 2.5 na from the rav4. Spoke to a guru about these engines and he said not to worry about the auxiliaries as I can just fit a alternator and water pump from a normal 2ar-fe engine. So that's still an option. The guru said I'd have to mount my current A6 gearbox to it as the Toyota gearbox is transverse. Not ruling out a V8 either, as I've found a narrow body A6 like mine fitted with the 4.2 Audi V8. I'd be looking at the rover V8 3.5 or a lexus v8. I've ruled out the Toyota Hilux diesel (2LT) as they're not as reliable as I thought.

No probs

You might need specific car fabric cleaner. It's quite potant stuff adblue.

You'll be looking to spend a lot but I'd recommend you speak to autologics or Audi retrofits

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.
