Hello from glasgow

Post by Quango86 » Thu Jan 31, 2019 2:15 pm

Hi been lurking on here for a while reading the wealth of knowledge that you all possess on these cars. I am now the proud owner of a 2006 black rs4 b7 saloon. Bought it from my friend with a few issues to sort. Engine management light was on and turned out to be an o2 sensor easy fix. Clutch was also high and squeeking so took the chance and bought a new clutch and flywheel from Rock auto. Turns out when I removed the gear box the car already has a sachs 4 paddle clutch and lightened flywheel. This has been sent to cg motorsports to have new material on and the faces refinished. So I have a standard clutch and flywheel to sell. The reg is Dxz4516 if anyone has any info on it. Few mods on it with milltek downpipes and exhausts. Loving it so far.

Thanks guys John

Welcome mate. I'm around an hour from Glasgow myself. Good to have more folks from Scotland join the forum. You might want to try posting your clutch and flywheel in the for sale section.
Currently running:
18 plate Lamborghini Huracan Performante (5.2l of V10 naturally aspirated craziness)
67 plate RS6 Performance (fully loaded)
66 plate Range Rover Autobiography (for wafting around)
16 plate Mini Cooper S convertible (lots of fun but rather skittish when thrashed)

Favourite car ever owned:
1971 Citroen DS21 - The Goddess (pure art on wheels)

Hello there just replaced clutch flywheel (LUK-OEM), clutch slave and braded hose conversion to be greeted with the most annoying screeching sound when the drivetrain is warm, drive train now back on the floor only to find the pilot bearing in the flywheel is feked after 300 miles :FIREdevil: , and before you ask it was greased before install.
1.It looks like this dualmass sack of crap is skip bound.
2.Replace with one piece flywheel ?? .
3.Your views please on removal of dualmass and replacement flywheel.
