Help the Noobs - Part 2

[jnrdavo]

I reckon it's worth creating a new post for noob's for each model type.

ie..

A4 B6
Timing belt change at xkm's or x years

A4 B5
Timing belt change at
DIS problems - can be fixedby
Engine mounts - should be changed at x


you get the idea...

Add suggestions to this thread and I'll collate...or post the link to something that's been said before, is useful, and I'll also collate...

TT 8N (MK1 1999-2006)

Timing Belt (~$1000+)
-No later than 90,000km (5 years?)

Water Pump
-Check that this has been changed at the same time as the Timing Belt

Common Problems
-Corrosion/Rust ($...)
*Behind rear quarter panel windows
*In roof rack mounts
-DIS/Dashpod (~$1800)
*Flickering/Dial Reset on coldstart
*Dials reading incorrectly, particuarly fuel gauge
*DIS LCD fade/incorrect display
-Door microswitch (~$350) - check that door open symbol is displayed on DIS (driver/passenger)
-Clutch Pedal (~$...) - No check, they just break.
