It will be having the rocker cover replaced for the PCV issue and the customer can take it away.

I have no idea what the actual frequency of oil changes has been for this particular Audi TT 3.2 VR6 however I would think looking at this engines top end they carnt have been either that frequent or maybe wrong spec oil used and ran to full interval? Mileage is 139,500 and it’s in because the...

Most customers were happy that they had gone from topping up 1 litre every 200 miles to 1 litre every 2-3000 miles.

I said due to the nature, not that it cannot be done. You need a shop that has the correct tooling and knowledge of the process.

You may never achieve the oil consumption position that you had with the original block, as you say the block was not honed due to the nature of Alusil so new rings won’t have the same bed in ability as the factory block/ engine. You can try running with higher rpm to achieve higher dynamic...

Does a buyer not get any legal protection when buying a used car from a dealer in the USA? If this was the UK the dealer would be liable for the repair inside of 6 months of purchase

Tiguans have had DEF systems fitted for at least 10 years. Edited to add fitment would be market dependent, my point was DEF was being used so no reason USA Tiguans couldn't have it other than VAG has gone from being massively pro diesel before the scandal to now being the polar opposite.

Have you looked underneath it? What’s it like for rust? Look at front suspension.

If you want an Audi get a B8.5, rear suspension is usually good for 200,000 miles and front will just need the lower suspension bushes at least every 5-6 years. For reliability get a manual as DSG can have issues. As others have said don’t buy a car that hasn’t had any repair work as that means...

Pricing for this for the the UK market, starting at £74,995

At half a pound it could have lost 50% of its refrigerant capacity. These only hold about 1.2 pounds. You will have a sticker under the bonnet that will give the exact amount. Did they add any UV? If so buy yourself a UV light they are cheep enough and have a look over the condenser for any...

The proximity to the river would put me off. Who wants to live on a flood plain?

MQB flap motors are slave control units, controlled via a lin signal and will trigger fault codes to be stored if they fail to meet the required position requested by the master control unit. If the flap mechanism fails inside the heater box the only way to know would be to see it (endoscope)...

2019 MQB, will probably need a condenser due to corrosion.

Maybe he missed the post? No big deal really is it?

From what I’ve seen In an automotive environment, if you work on stuff with a lot of rust/ corrosion so the tools work harder, then Milwaukee doesn’t last like DeWalt does. I’ve got friends in other trades that have found the same issues, casings fall apart at joints and bearings get noisy.

As the title really, I’m looking at buying 3.0 powerstroke intake parts and would like to find a dealer that’s happy to sell to a UK based customer. Parts I’m currently looking at are, JL3Z-9424-E JL3Z-9E926-B I would also need the parts to build a connector for the above listed throttle...

BITOG has got to be the only place that if you ask what oil should I use 9/10 you will get told Mobil 1 0w40 then people say don’t buy a car that’s had 40 weight oil put in it, crazy.

The Audi A3 etron with a 1.4 tfsi engine was first specced for 502 oil. This was changed for the latest revision in 2020 to 508. This engine can be started, ran at redline for a short period (seconds in some cases) and then switched off again. This for me shows that with regards to start stop...

If it’s the usual issue which is the bushes in the front upper rear arm split then you can buy the later type bushes from Audi, unbolt the arm at the bush and swing it around so you can access and use a bush puller to remove it and press the new one in. You can do just the ones that have split...
