Wanted: Lower radiator hose clip for A4 1.8T

88Quattro — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 17:20:17 GMT

While doing my timing belt the lower radiator hose clip broke. I believe it is 32 mm. Anybody in the Buff/Roc area have one kicking around or know where I can find one? I ordered one from the dealer but it will be Wednesday before it gets in.

Thanks.

My USP's power issues??

OK, I have posted this before but I am running out of ideas.... My 2005 A4 1.8T is less powerful at full throttle and looses boost as quick as the rpms go up when its hot. I have fixed the dipstick so the crank case holds pressure now, rebuilt the entire forge 007 DV, had the throttlebody re alligned, the fuel filter isn't noisy at all, the k&n filter is clean, fuel is good, etc etc... I did just put a 2.5in Dp and exhaust on and it leaks a little after the dp but can barely tell. When the car is cold the first time you floor it it holds at 19lbs and pulls HARD.... Once it gets warm it fades a bit. It actually pulls better when my foot isn't to the floor. I was thinking heat soak but you can feel the power come in and out under full acc. The only other mod on it is the N75-J valve and 93 oct APR software. I have not found any vacume leaks, but when i'm hitting it hard you can feel the ac cut out a bit.... but like I said I can't find leaks.

I am running the blue spring in the DV now which made it smoother. (took out the red stiff spring)

I have just run out of ideas.... Any other suggestions?? Big E feel free to chime in :) ANY HELP would be great, I just want it to run how it is supposed to....thats it.:banghead:

tdi is gone...picked up its replace///ment

XwalkerX — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 15:12:47 GMT

so i recently sold the tdi and needed to pick up a daily that would entertain me yet be refined enough to not annoy me. i was suppsed to be picking up an 01 330i but after quite the adventure it turned out the car was a pile of **** and the dealer was a ****ing piece of **** scammer
well i was soured on the idea of an e46 after that so i decided to look into something a bit older...
i found this gem.

and no problems during the shakedown runs. It's not the fastest Allroad in the world, but it definitely gets out of its own way in a hurry now.

Possibly the coolest E34 ever.

Coolant Leak B6 A4 3.0

SPEED DETAILS — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 14:30:25 GMT

My wifes B6 has a coolant leak coming somewhere on the back of the engine. I did some research and came up with the coolant crossover pipe as the probable culprit. Its basically a hard plastic coolant pipe that runs on the back of each head. Anyone else ever have this problem?

I dug into yesterday, its really buried under a bunch of crap near the firewall and also looks it also connects under the intake manifold. I really need to know what I need to remove and what I dont to get this thing out.

Anyone got a Factory service manual I could maybe borrow to take a look at how I should be removing this thing?

Run Flat Tires on BMW

Orleans VWr — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 01:34:21 GMT

Just brought home a CPO 2007 BMW 328i w/sport package (manual transmission)... the sharp handling was fun on the test drive, but after a few days driving 35 miles round trip on I90, I'm feeling a little beat up because of the harsh ride.

A couple of posts I've read suggest that switching out the Bridgestone Run Flat tires for conventional tires could improve the ride. Anyone experience this? Ideas?

Thanks!
