So today opened my windows and the front passenger side only closed half way. It will go down but only closes halfway. Eventually I got it to close its about 3cm from fully closed . But it was grinding and banging whilst closing an. I right thinking the regulator is gubbed or is it something I can fix myself.

cool so just the cr 170 turbo is the one i need

so the 177 is the old tdi turbo then http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AUDI-A4-A5-A6-Q5-2-0-TDI-TURBOCHARGER-TURBO-ENGINE-CODE-CGL-GTC1549VZ-03L145721B-/222385572407?hash=item33c7368a37:g:uT0AAOSwLqFV8rQY

cheers for the quick reply what inter cooler are you using on yours, What is the 177 turbo what do i search for? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201360134063?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT is that the right one

Im gathering information on doing a turbo swap on my monte and have been told to use the cr170 turbo but have been told your better off using a 177 turbo. what is a 177 turbo also its meant to have oval ports on it

Really well was an exhaust specialist took them hours to do it will double check though. Sounds like it's coming from drivers side

It had a new flexi welded in in December mate

Will have a closer look at it thanks mate

It sounds like my exhaust is leaking from under the bonnet but can't see any leaks. I can also smell fumes. Anyone any Ideas what it could be

im in ayrshire but would be up for it

just wondered what the standard boost pressure is on one of these, Im sure i read it was eak and .7 and hold at .5, mines is peaking at .9 and holding at .7

cool didnt no that, Mines got them and they still work

didnt know that do they all have reverse sensors as standard fitted to them aswell? (rear Bumper) as for the floor pan i dont know if they are the same size but you problem is the shape at the top of the bumper and tailgate mete that shape ill be different

i thought that just anted to make sure cheers mate

prety sure the side skirts are a standard feature and that the rear bumoer is different due to the hole for the exhaust, but if your buying that for an estate id think the rear bumper ill be different

Could anyone tell me the correct size for the front caliper im reading 312 in some place and 288 in others, need new ones are mines are warped badly, Also looking to change my suspension but dont want to make the ride too harsh

Thanks for the help not fussed if I waste the door card I'll buy a new one

How do I remove the door card when I can't get the ns front door open

Cheers mate. I thought that was going to just take it to skoda and let them fix it

Had a search and couldn't find anything about the front passenger door not working. The door worked fine till a few days ago. Then it started to play up had to double press to get it to pop open now it won't open at all anyone any ideas how to get it to open?
