empty baggie posted:Thank you. I kinda noticed that today while walking around, though I do prefer the headlights on the Polo. Effectively, they could have just kept everything the same size, and simply built a car larger than the Golf, and everyone would have been happy. But then you've got the Golf Plus, which is a Golf that's bigger than a Golf, which as I've just said is, itself, bigger than a Golf, and oh no I've gone cross-eyed...

I'm going to go with a friend to look at a 1999 A4 Avant Quattro with the 2.5 Tdi V6 tomorrow. Anything I particularly need to check on? Known trouble spots?

Mooseykins posted:I did reply to your previous post. Indeed, he wants some poke, but needs good fuel economy for a long commute. He's had a 1.9 previously and liked it, and views the 2.5 as a good step up for out-the-box performance.

I believe it's a 110bhp one. 1999, with the EGR stuff removed. Guess I'll find out when I see it. Thanks for the other info. I don't know exactly what his plans are, but will pass it along. InitialDave fucked around with this message at 00:10 on Sep 11, 2013 |

Doing some work on my friend's A3 (1999 1.9 TDi), and the rear calipers had to come off - bled the system afterwards, seemed fine, but the pedal drops like a stone if the engine's running. I'm suspecting we got air into the ABS block maybe, though we made a point of clamping off hoses when undoing them, and it didn't seem to need much fluid when bled through engine-off. Some googling shows it's possible we need to run an ABS bleeding cycle using VAG-com, which he has, or would simply doing a normal bleed only with the engine running (and thus the ABS on) achieve the same end?

Can you not find an appropriately-sized VW emblem on a cheap keyring or whatever in a car parts store and just glue that on?

Ok, hopefully a simple one for you guys - we need to swap the engine on my mate's 1.9 TDi 1999 A3, we've got another lump, but want to buy some bits for it. To make sure we're buying the right stuff, need the engine number, and I can't for the life of me see the drat thing! Where is it?

No, this is the engine to swap into it we're talking about. It doesn't really matter, we'll get it done either way.
