What have you done to your Audi today??

I'll start a thread off seeing as I did actually work on mine today. Well it started yesterday to be truthful. Finished this morning.

Haldex oil and filter change, thanks Jimmy for the parts and filter tool.

Due to a schoolboy error though, I dropped the diff oil first, not the haldex!!

So it's also got fresh diff oil too. 1 litre of synthetic Castrol 75/90.

Note to self, there is a washer under the head of the Haldex drain plug. More schoolboy errors!! Found after putting in the oil and plug the first time.

I also replaced the rear discs and pads, new discs and pads from GHLmotorsport in Brissy. On the front I fitted the discs of my A3 as they were pretty new when the car got parted out. With new pads from GHL.

I'll make some comments on the pads in the next week or so. They are supposed to be pretty much dust free, I hope so cos the Audi ones that came out were shocking.

sounds like you had a busy day . ive spent about four hours checking all the connection and fluids of my 80 auto as ive had it not want to change up to top gear a couple of time over the past week and then yesterday coming back from the coast it just didnt want to change up at all ? smooth changing to ever gear but top . still cant work it out .

I am no Auto expert but I wonder if a fluid change would be a worthwhile job to do. Some friends of mine had a crappy old Mazda that wouldn't change and it had no fluid in.

Maybe call a couple of auto transmission shops and ask?

What age is your 80??? They had a few different boxes in them, older ones had a plate on the valve body that would wear and cause the oil to bypass. Newer ones can be scanned by someone who has a older diagnostic adapter.
Engine and age please mate

it a 92 2.3 80 e it has an ng motor and the only code for the auto is whats on the sticker for vehicle data in the spare wheel mould which is ceb i hope this is the right codes as the engine code on that sticker is different to the motor and rego papers , maybe my good bye is to good to be true..

Ive got an Audi with the NG strong as an ox that motor mate. Anyway CEB is correct and this can be checked by Vagcom if someone near you has the old style adapter, you can check the valve operation and scan for faults.

I went to watch the last of my std rims get painted today. I'll pick them up next week and get tyres fitted Tuesday. Standby for pictures.

Wheels are on but the car is filthy having not been washed for weeks. I'll clean it tomorrow before the sun gets mental in SA, 39 degrees forecast.
