No damage, thankfully. Just as well as he didn't stop either until I caught him at a set of lights. Bar stewards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feva Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Dunno what happened to the sound! Thats why I've always got my sound recording enabled Trigger, slight knocks like that are heard more than felt. And we all know audi drivers are w****rs. . . . .

Do it The roads are very quiet. We had those 3 passes to ourselves pretty much. Which meant i could thrash the e90 all the way to the top.

And yes, the clunk is much more noticeable than the movement to the car. Good advice though - I always assumed it would be the other way around. feva 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BmEagle Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Had a rattle under acceleration. Exhaust manifold is cracked. Waiting for quote. Dual mass also gone. That's £800 inc clutch kit and labour. 😥 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edges Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Yeah, good result for £10 and 15 minutes. Only issue was plate lights seemed massive, box and lights both said 39mm. Which after searching on here is correct but the actual light seemed more like 42mm. Bent tabs out slightly and it worked.. Hope it keeps working Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BmEagle Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Had the call about the exhaust manifold. There is also a "silly amount" of play in the turbo. So much so that they said in all conscience they wouldn't take my money to do the clutch/flywheel and manifold if I didn't want to replace the turbo as I'd be paying £1500 then looking at a very soon further £800+ for a turbo which being realistic is not worth it on a 2004 330cd with 199k miles. Looks like ice I have to say goodbye to her after the best 3 1/2 yrs behind the wheel I've ever had. 😥 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TriggerFish Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 A recon turbo is about £300-500, I think. I got my clutch and dmf done for £160, plus parts (not that much from ecp). I reckon you could get the whole lot done for under £1,000. - Lost all electrical power as I sat on the drive aafter getting home. Engine off, but ignition on, I went to shut the window which killed everything. Removing the key and reinserting it reset the car, the Speedo went all flickery and then it worked again. Very strange!
