Hi Lee, people say that vr6 flywheel dont fit v8, that only 5 bolts align, did you modify it? You have better pictures of timing side engine mount for 32v engine?did you modify block or sump, to clear driveshaft? Any pictures?

I like this! My first Audi was a B3 90 so I have a bit of a soft spot for them. The one at Pick-A-Part Taranaki is very complete, great for spares!

Hey guys, recently I did some work on my car to replace the flywheel. Upon starting and driving it for about 5 kms and returning home, I noticed a very loud ticking sound from the engine bay as I reversed into the driveway.

Upon further investigation, the noise seems to be coming from the ACF. I have owned this car for 2 years and had never heard this noise before, is this noise normal?

The car has been on the stand for about 1 month and some more before it was started which is the longest it's gone with out being driven under my ownership. Could this be what's causing the loud ticking from the ACF?

Hey guys, I've just replaced my DMF and noticed a strange buzzing noise coming from the trans pump housing while test starting it on the lift. Does anyone know of this is normal? I've never noticed it before.

Got a nice carpet from the b3 in taranaki and swapped it in. Here's the old carpet, very tired and falling apart


The new one is much better condition, I like the blue too:


Also lost another planetary gear in the odo, some fb members were keen to help, getting some printed:


And a pic from when we went for a quick drive:

Posting this here because if anyone needs to do this job, this hero has a great hack.

It's normally a drop the exhaust job to access the shifter box from the bottom - nightmare when working on axel stands.
This method takes 5min. Even if it buggers out quicker, in the long run it's still worth it I'd say. But I doubt it, it's in there tight.

The end of an era as it left to its new home in Christchurch last Saturday. Has been a fun ownership period but home ownership beckons!

Company car life for now but may jump back into a VAG oneday  8)
