Posts I've Made

  1. In Topic: What's this part?

    05 February 2012 - 22:19

    VAG parts nearly always have the part number on them. Search EKTA by part number or even just Google it - you may be lucky.

    It could of course be a "foreigner".

  2. In Topic: Audi A6 2.5 TDI Qattro 180hp tiptronic 6 speed engine

    The VP44 pump is very bad news and will bring expensive grief. If the designers had any sense at all, they wouldn't put (hopelessly flimsy) electronics on an engine and certainly not inside a fuel pump. The PD has no electronics on the engine at all other than transducers; it's all mechanical with an ECU on the scuttle.

    The old 6 cyl engines with rotary pumps are no match for the PDs in terms of efficiency - look at the CO2/tax figure for a V6 auto. The 1.9PD is a very reliable engine - pity about the 2.0 which is completely useless.

  3. In Topic: oil in intercooler pipes

    02 February 2012 - 09:57

    Some oil in the intercooler pipes is perfectly normal - a lot can cause engine runaway.

    Most turbochargers are changed unnecessarily and on a high mileage PD the most frequent cause of an oily input tract is a partially blocked engine breather pipe or blockage in the "hockey puck" on the rocker cover.

    High crankase blowby pressures will prevent the oil being scavenged from the turbocharger bearing - so it has only one other exit route - the intake.

    Keep a very watchful eye on the breather system on an old PD. 200k is not bad - what's the rest of it like?

  4. In Topic: Alternator light coming on >2300rom

    01 February 2012 - 14:09

    Almost certainly the alternator clutch pulley. Change as soon as possible - they have been known to come apart and penetrate the radiator.

    You need a hollow splined key for the nut and a long Torx or ribe splined bit to hold the shaft. The Bosch and Valeo alternators require different tools so check which one you have.

    Another uncorrected VAG long term fault - the average survival for a pulley seems to be about 90k miles. How many did yours make?

  5. In Topic: 1DIN original head unit with AUX?

    30 January 2012 - 15:05

    You can use the CD changer option as an AUX input on this radio. You will need to find the pin assignation for the radio (it's somewhere on the Web) and connect your AUX inpit to the changer AF input. Then select "Changer" from the front panel.

    Good Afternoon, I just viewed a comment you made about particular oil's to put into a vehicle. I would like to ask your advice if thats ok! I have a tdi vrs . BMN Engine Code. I am aboutto service he car and have just purchased oil or it yesterday. Apart from the fact that the motor factors supplied me with an incorrect fuel filter, going against my opinion and claiming i was wrong everything seemed ok. I asked foe 5w-30 fully synthetic oil and he gave me a brand of oil i never heard of. "AC Delco" i'v looked up their website and there was no real technical data provided about any of their poducts. The oil still cost me €60.00. I would like to know if you have any experience or knowledge of this brand?
