Looking good Wes. Really looking forward to the end product.
I have not got the patience (or the mula) to even consider doing something like this.
Hats off to you sir.

Hi Ben. I have not had a problem with them. But I had all 4 replaced at the same time.
I think I had to go for a 20 minute drive after fitting them.
It said something like that on the instructions.

Hi Ben
I googled error code 00796 v42.
Led me to the fan in the hvac unit.

I will leave it for a while then do a rescan.
“Christine” has a habit of fixing herself.

IMG_0947.jpeg IMG_0946.jpeg IMG_0945.jpeg Hi Suz. In my toolbox of all places. Front panel can be removed. The spare hvac unit is in better condition than I remembered. Just need to replace some buttons. That’s quick and easy with feeler gauges. Topman (Craig) is checking the compatibility for me. ...

No. But just watched a total technic video on how to remove it.
Just remembered I have a spare hvac somewhere. I just need to find it. Bought that one for the buttons.

Hi Suz.
Every thing is working fine Suz. Air con ok fan blasting cool air out in this hot weather.

It’s the tiny fan inside the hvac unit for cooling the HVAC unit internal components. I did hear a slight squeaking noise some weeks ago. But it stopped.

Hi Asgor

Steve in the uk.
I am very interested. Is the unit still available.

Hi all. Did a scan today. Looks like the HVAC unit interior cooling fan has packed up. Has anyone managed to gain access to the internals or are they a sealed unit. Really don’t want to replace it for another used unit. As this one is in great condition. I replaced the buttons some years ago. TIA IM...

I don’t get the impression of heavy steering while I am driving. Put it this way. I can drive the car using 1 finger on the steering wheel for normal straight driving. However I couldn’t do that making full turns on corners or 3 point turns where both hands are needed. That goes for my old rack and ...

IMG_0900.jpeg It’s your car Adi. If you want to do the Cambelt and water pump at 10-11 year interval that’s up to you. Surprised there hasn’t been a bang and a fooked engine after 10 years. I will stick to the recommended 4 yearly or 40000 miles interval. I would hate myself if I ruined the engine ...

Hi Suz. I would just add. I also do the thermostat and extra roller that’s not included in the kit every time I do the timing belt. Good point on water pump. To date I have not removed a pump with the plastic impeller. Mine have all been metal. Unit 20 have done my Cambelts and water pumps. Hi allro...

Annual services, oil changes done Cambelt change at the required intervals - 4years or 40,000 miles. Depends on usage. Regular gearbox oil and filter Smooth gear changes Run a full auto scan to check for any DTC,s Cambelt chains and tensioners. Test Drive. If looked after these cars are very reliabl...

Cheers Chris. That’s comforting to know. I did email HEL to check on compatibility. They confirmed they are suitable for the RS6 C5. They also confirmed that the avant and sedan are the same Like you I have gone for front and rear flexible hoses. Ordered them today. 2-3 days delivery. Then get the h...

Cheers buddy. Yes I will get new flexi hoses.
Looked at
Hel
Ebc
Forge motorsport
They all look good

I have opted for HEL stainless steel in carbon fibre look on the outer sleeve. Lifetime warranty.

Cheers Matt. I did my own copper brake lines donkeys years ago. On an escort iirc.
I didn’t know if things had moved on since then.

Will have to get them done soon.
