Annnnd a new Thermostat. Hard to find?? Bought one from Spareto for far too much money before realising that ECS had one for much, much less https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-vol ... 7k121115c/

I think mine needs this as well so thanks very much for the Part number. Anyone happen to know if the Crank seal replacement job is an engine-out one?

Anyone know if there are any after market, all metal solutions to the <beep> plastic sided radiator ? I've been hunting around and not found anything yet.

Looks like I'm getting a new radiator because of that little plastic nozzle in the top corner of the radiator.

Thanks very much Jim. I've had some good mechanics state that "We were hoping that it was that, but isn't." Apparently in my case, oil leaking from the lower crank housing and engine out ( 20-30k NZD) to fix. I read the other thread and couldnt find much of use other than references to Facebook grou...

I'm kinda hating on the round steering wheel actually. I have a C7 flat-bottomed with a bit of red on it that will go nicely but I need to retrofit it, adjust/replace the clockspring etc..

Hi Everyone Long time lurker, fist time poster LOL Here's my 2009 RS6 Sedan. Nothing much done to it other than it has a Fox Cat-Back Exhaust System. And yes, there is a tow bar fitted before I get jumped on as I need to tow trailers and fit a bike rack from time to time! Thinking about a stage 1 m...

Gidday from NZ

To partly answer my own question about the Thermostats it looks like it has 3:

Gidday! Thought I'd share my fun with my Coolant problems. I had a coolant leak coming from what I thought was the expansion tank so managed to source a new one and replaced it. Rather hard getting the tube on the bottom (part 18) of it requiring removing the charge pipe and air filter on that drive...

What is the stock boost level on these engines? I think I read somewhere that it hits 22psi which seems rather high? I ended up buying some metal ones (spring and washer instead of rubber diaphragm) similar to the Forge DVs linked above, that look like they be sweet as!

I'll answer my own question - Looks like "06A 145 710" might do the trick!!

Steering wheel up/down was pretty much just a scan and reset I think. Nothing fancy was done by the auto electrician to resolve this but he did note "burnt connection in motor plug" so whilst he was in there he cleaned and tensioned the connector pins.
