What have you done to your Audi or Volkswagen today????

There is a link on here describing what VW constitutes as rotors that need changing. If I find it I'll post it. Might come in handy. Think it had something to do with rotor thickness.

Link it!

The only thing I saw was in the service manual was about checking the thickness of the pads.

Changed right rear ABS sensor on the Yeti. Thanks to jhonnieblue for the advice to have this done by the dealership only. TTD 900.
No more dashboard error lights.

Is something wrong with the rear right sensor on these vehicles?

I'll check the packaging of the new part and let you know.
Never changed any on the B6 Passat FYI.

RS4 control Arm upgrade...

1.2 bar waste-gate for the fyahz...

neexis · Postby **neexis** » January 13th, 2016, 6:38 am

Any noticeable difference with the RS4 control arm vs the original?

neexis · Postby **neexis** » January 14th, 2016, 9:45 pm

Started the 90k stuff myself:
Replaced factory air filter with a K&N (really dirty)
Replaced cabin air filter (disturbing to see how much dust was in there)

Wipers were badly worn so replaced those as well. I ordered Bosch Aerotwin's from Amazon with the correct connectors. Only on receiving them did I realize that they were made for left hand drive cars. The only difference is the "spoiler" on the wipers that is supposed to create a downforce on the wipers to prevent lift off. I still installed them even though the "spoiler" would be upside down; they clicked in easily and into the same position as the originals. I tried them at 120km/h and didn't notice any movement to suggest that they were lifting off.

Thinking about getting that myself. Don't know how that will sound in since I have those "stepless" shifts

You will just experience nice swooshing noises if you run a nice aftermarket intake....use yellow spring unless u highly tuned or planning to tune

I haven't posted on here in a while, what I've done to my B7 A4.... Replaced the entire rear fender, bumper, rear windshield,rim, etc.
I was side/rear ended on the Park and Edward street intersection while leaving work late last year luckily for me I now work for SSSL so car has been repaired, now I'm looking for something new and starting to have some more fun with this one.

Replaced spark plugs
Changed oil and filter
Cleaned throttle body

Allergic2BunnyEars · Postby **Allergic2BunnyEars** » February 29th, 2016, 7:57 pm

Nice stuff. How do you clean the throttle body? What are the symptoms of a dirty throttle body? How often should it be cleaned?

neexis · Postby **neexis** » February 29th, 2016, 8:51 pm

Took it to Kerwin in San Fernando and he did that as part of his normal service with oil and filter change.

Basically took off some air hose and cleaned the dirt/gunk off of it using some foam/chemicals that I didn't ask about

Not sure if there are symptoms of it being dirty. Supposedly over time as the buildup increases, the throttle body must open more to compensate for the reduced airflow.
