Re: Changing OEM maf seals

Bad news about the tool.. Regarding the Apikol ones, been there already and they lasted less than a year before the glue started to fail. Of course the seals couldn't be reused after that so I went back to the oems, at least they're much cheaper when bought in bulk ( https://shops.audi.com/en_GB/we...

Coolant Engine Temp Sensor

I see this excellent write up re the engine temp sensor on these cars https://www.flickr.com/photos/surgenor/8686980324/in/album-72157633349662229/ And yet when I ordered from Halesowen Audi and picked the part up, not sure why, :bash: probably distracted by the new models! :biggrin3: But didn't che...

Re: Cam Belt Plus Chain ?

Same here, I'd love to have a go at changing the cam belt but not having a garage and having to do it in the front drive, not the best, so may have to get mine done by specialists. There's a garage in Malvern that did my first cambelt change and diff oil and gearbox oil change and they were very rea...

Re: Cam Belt Plus Chain ?

Some great driving roads around Malvern. Lots of walkers about at the moment though. You could drop off your car, and while they are doing the cambelt, do some hiking and get angry at people driving too fast, then go for a drive and get angry at hikers. LOL :beerchug: Sounded like a good idea... bu...

Re: Cam Belt Plus Chain ?

Just spoke to Straightline Perfomance in Malvern, who did my original timing belt change for a very reasonable price - I may just use them as they did it before. Has anyone else used them here?

Re: Cam Belt Plus Chain ?

Just had a look around, and you can get a Contitech timing belt kit (no water pump) and an Airtex Waterpump for around £460 delivered from Carparts4less. Contitech (Dayco) are good parts as far as I know. Just saw Online car parts and one kit by HEPU (??) for discounted price of £340 ... thoughts......

Re: Cam Belt Plus Chain ?

Me too, it's nearly 5 years since I had the cam belt service done, and have done the brakes, spark plugs and small bit of the exhaust myself and have gained a little confidence, and am contemplating doing the cambelt change myself, but still a bit nervous about it! So I got a quote from MRC just to ...
