Any more info on where the leak originated?

I found AMD cheaper than Unit20
Costs nothing to check it out!

I got mine from U.K. for a reasonable price.

They are not listed, you'll need to e-mail and ask about them

What about Aces? Do you still use that or an alternitive?

Maybe a reasonably quick way to check, is to remove a few coil packs and check for oil accumulation around the spark plugs

When I removed the coil packs from the spark plugs, most of the "tubes" that encompass the tops of the spark plugs had oil in them.
A bit of a job cleaning the oil out of those.
Also a bit of a...

Similar thing happened to me. The PCV valve was clogged and not working properly causing crankcase to be over pressurized, causing oil to be pushed out through valve covers. I changed PCV valve and...

Thanks Tozo and everyone else, I'll give it another go!

Thanks Speedtrapped and Tozo.
I thought the right turbo needed to be removed.
I tried, but couldn't loosen the bolts/nuts on the top of the right turbo. I even used some penetrating fluid!

Does anyone have info on removing tranny without removing the engine?
After the downpipes have been removed, Do the turbos need to be removed?
Anyone with details on the removal?


Thanks...

Thankyou. that's exactly what I needed!:applause:

Can anyone tell me where the PCV Valve is located and description of it ?:)

So why the MTM TCU chip over GIAC or others?

I don't mind reading a long story if I can benefit

The ECU and TCU are already done ( already in the car when I bought it), so I'm good there.

I use my laptop with GIAC flashloader to change between stock and chipped. I definately notice a diff....

The car is not daily driver so it is parked until I change the TC.

Closest Audi shop is 3.5 hours away, so my local guy ( that I trust) would do it.

Do you think the Audi TC will handle extra...

Sorry, I'm out to lunch... Front Roters are $570, the TC is $975. My bad!

So I guess a rebuilt from someone like IPT may be best route. Supposed to be stronger than OEM.

In a previous thread by me, DHall and RS6VA gave the part # for TC. When I checked online at genuineaudiparts.com, it came up as $570.
I'm just wondering if OEM is able to handle the increased...

My trans. seems to be fine, just getting the code for torque converter.
Rebuild from IPT is about $695 and stock from Genuine Audi is about $570.
Car has just under 37,000 mi.
Started getting the...

Pretty sure I need a new TC, but which route?
Car has ECU and TCU chip (GIAC), so should I have IPT or ACE rebuild mine to handle the extra torque, or will a new OEM work as well?
Any...

I like being out of the wind with the adjustable windsheild ( that way I can listen to my tunes), and also sitting more upright ....like I said getting older!!

Wow.... that IS complete!
Thankyou
