A little something to keep me busy

[Tractor Dave]

I’m waiting for parts so made a start on the fuel lines. This is the worst bodge I have ever seen.


Anyway. All the old lines have been binned. The front connectors cleaned up nicely.


The rear connector is corroded. I can’t find a replacement.


Or if anyone knows where I can get one of these in the uk?


I will flare new cunifer pipe and re use the fittings (which are stainless). It’s a shame Audi didn’t use stainless pipe.

Not sure what to do with my dmfw.

Download the Autodoc app then Monday gives the best discount. Normally 38%. I paid just under £40. Ordered other stuff so poatage was free.

How much

[Vorsprung durch Technik]

Excellent shout two slave cylinders ordered.

[Tractor Dave]

All the sump bolts got cleaned and painted.


These are available from Autodoc for a reasonable price. They are original fit for the S2 and S6. The Audi rings have been ground off. Get yours whilst they are still available.

Someone isn’t impressed with my new project.

Someone just wants some of your time !?

Anyone know the part number for the gearbox input shaft seal? It's not on 7zap

Got it now. Thanks B5Nut

I've seen pressure plate's break just like that a couple of times but on each occasion it was due to the friction disc being down to the rivets, the clutch slipping and the driver continually trying to drive around it as opposed to paying to fix it, both times on turbo diesel vans. Has the car got a tow bar or could the owner offer any insight to what may have caused it as I'm assuming it failed whilst he was using it.

That sump look pretty stinking, well worth getting all the nasty old oil residue out.

The rouge bit of plastic may have found it's way out when the car last had it's oil changed or it could be still down lodged in one of the cylinder head bolt wells in the head, in either case at least you now know it's not in the pick up.

When I got the subscribed email. Though I was going to see a picture of your Mrs with a rolling pin her hand

Sump off.


Strainer isn’t too bad.


And not horrendous inside.


Given a scrub


I had forgotten I need two gaskets so on hold until another VR one arrives.

No sign of the plastic bit.

The old plate still had some wear left. No sign of oil contamination. I have a new slave to fit. Release bearing is a bit rough. Master feels ok.

Some failure information from LUK https://www.partinfo.co.uk/files/LUK...t%20Finder.pdf

I was also told the DMF's for the S2 are bullet proof. What was the old clutch plate like? I take it you have not been able to test the master or slave cylinders
