Thanks Dave, no need for spring compressors if I am only doing shocks?

C4 front strut insert replacement DIY

Decided that front shocks must be done before next weekends' trip, so they've been ordered.

You don't have to remove the strut to just replace the shock insert inside it.

Here is a DIY that included replacement of the white ball bearing strut bearing at the same time:

Thanks guys. Overtakes now just happen without much thinking

That is great news. You'll appreciate the car more now.

What about the matter of the spun bearing ? :cocoa:

Great to see a happy conclusion

You can say that again


I reckon we both had all our fingers and toes crossed while I was soldering in the spare MAP sensor

That's great news janis,well done for hanging in there. Imho these cars are
superb machines and as you say Janis put a big smile on ones face!

... and finally I drive with a massive smile on my face

Result!

The car drives really nice and all the work done on the suspension has really paid off

That is great news!! Finally a solution to your issues. How did John diagnose that it was the MAP sensor? (For future reference).

Went to his part box, and used known working unit. And I did try his ECU in my car and car was working fine, so it was definitely something within the ECU.

With big help from John my car is finally running as she should. MAP sensor had failed so car was extremely sluggish. Now she boosts, fuel economy is good (for S4) and finally I drive with a massive smile on my face

Next on list will be some little bits and bobs in interior, some soundproofing possibly

Exhaust is in very sad state, hopefully I will pass MOT in may, but that needs doing definitely.

How many gym sessions and steroids did it take before you could remove them, Janis?!!

I feel like I've done a year's worth of exercise

Car is definitely more stable, don't know if it's any quite inside the car as I had loads of things in the boot.

UrS AAN transmission mounts

I am looking at gearbox mounts, but VagCat shows several PN's, so what gearbox was fitted to '93 S4?

The 93 S4 AAN manual transmissions were either the 5 spd CBD or a 6 spd CBL.

Doesn't matter once you are UrS4, with one of the above transmissions, the transmission mounts are the same: 4A0399151C, as listed here:
