    don't know mate you know that is only for the manifold not the turbo aswell.. i think you need a different kit for a uk rhd car because of the steering rack. . .

    absolutely - i get 20% off the labour but still works out at about £55 an hour plus vat AND the book time for clutch and chains is something silly like 14 or 15 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i don't have anything like that much money :-( plus my mate who is doing it for me is an audi technician anyway and i would trust him to do anything on my car...which is good..

    you need to remove the glass first GENTLY prise it off forwards with a samll flat blade or a little hook tool.. if you angle it all the way toward the ground makes it easier to get in behind it then you can release the tabs and pop it off

    you may be able to remove them without the tool if you remove your manifold(as you need to) not 100% sure though . . . best get checking..

    it says that in the workshop manual, but as always a pinch of salt is reqd ... you can probably get the out without it ...

    i don't think there is a haynes for your car .. hopefully your engine should look like the pic below: - if you remove the top cover it should be kinda like this underneath... the spark plugs are under the connectors on the top - un plug them and you have a combined coil and plug lead in one unit - i think you need a "special tool" to remove them though ???? as for the rest servicing should be the same as any other car, oil filter, air filter, etc... hope this is useful...

    when i changed my front discs and pads i left the wire for the sensor slightly looser than it should have been.....thus causing it to rub on the wheel.. after about 3 miles(!!!) it wore through totally and hence put the light on... he could have done this too???
  19. richievr
    too right - i will be there again ....

    dan you almost certainly need the heater resistor, which is bolted in to the blower up under the dash . . . . easy to do, just remove the shelf under the passenger side, unplug and then unbolt and replace ... part number SHOULD be 701 959 263 A @ price of £31.17 pm me or come in with chassis number then i can confirm deffo as for the aircon it may just need regassing - they do from time to time .....normally every 3 years or so ..

    you are right mate "ag" is the equivalent of our "ltd" or "plc" v.a.g. actually stands for volkswagen ltd.. or volkswagen plc... but nearly everybody thinks it stands for volkswagen audi group' date=' but it doesn't . . . . . . see pic below taken from a spark plug leaflet @ work ... you can see it says volkswagen ag and audi ag .....
