Hdi90 Valeo clutch kit
After the 'Gate post' incident the old girl has been moved on and will shortly be off to a new life in the former Soviet Union. The new owner didn't want the clutch kit I bought last year. Everything is cheaper over there apparently. So, I have a Valeo 826033 3 piece kit surplus to requirement, I'll...

Re: 2 different cars, 2 oil changes, both came up short
Just looked up the 3.0tdi, 8.2l,,, better start saving.
I'm guessing that's just so Audi can achieve 2yr/20K service interval, at the expense of engine life of course.

Update, car sold off cheap.

Re: Glow plug anti-seize?
That looks just the job, too late though I'll have to make do with my not very Nickely Nickel paste.
It is noticeably heavier than normal grease. If that's any gauge of quality.

Re: Peugeot 508 2.2HDi GT - talk to me...
I also have yet to see an equivalent petrol engine yet anywhere near the fuel economy of it's diesel counterpart. I don't disagree but, Bear in mind that Diesel fuel has a higher energy density per volume than petrol. 11% according to Wikipedia. So when comparing Mpg figures knock 11% off the Diese...

Re: Sump 'crush' washers - a lesson learned

Don't know about torque, I just tighten them until they feel about right. Peter Mee too I changed a leaking coppe...

Re: Glow plug anti-seize?
500g tin of nickel paste arrived today.
9 quid off Ebay cheap enough for a lifetime supply.
Cheaper than a snapped glow plug that's for sure.
