Hi Mike

I've just tried using a heat gun and it actually works, after a fashion. It does restore the black colour but it's a bit patchy and it leaves a matt finish.

I've heard about this Wurth ...

Hi Mike. Thanks for your reply.

To say it's a feature doesn't mean it's acceptable and it's also a very unwelcome feature. I doubt Audi built this into the design. As my car has only done 88K I'm n ...

No worries. I am prepared to do a deal on it. What price were you thinking of? I don't use it anymore so I would prefer to sell to someone on here before I stick it on ebay.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I'd be looking for at least £100 as new these things are over £260 and it hasn't had much use.

I use the Gunson kit. For occasional use they are fine. They use the spare tyre to pressurise the system. Cheap from Halfords. They have different caps to fit most master cylinders.

It just so happens that I've got one for sale. Actually, It the full monty version but will work perfectly well with yours. I had it for my S8 but I can't use it on my 90. Let me know if your interest ...

The black trim on my 90q, especially the front bumper is fading. I've tried everything that Halfords has on its shelves but nothing seems to work. I'm thinking of spraying them but I'm not sure. I've ...

Like all my previous Quattro's my latest 90q is suffering quite badly from driveline shunt. (clonk on takeup). On my previous 90q I changed everything I could think of, gearbox mounts, engine mounts, ...

My 90q 20v will not start. It tries to but just will not run. I've checked for a spark, there is one. Fuel is flowing. I've checked the timing but it will it still will not run. I need to drop some co ...

FREE to a good home. Quattro gearbox and rear diff from a 1989 90. Both in good working order. Collection only. Located near Frome Somerset. Cheers. Steve.

The temp gauge on my 90q is not working, well it is but only very intermittently. I have changed the sender unit but no difference. Any thoughts anybody?

Hi Mike. I had it in gear and held the joint tight so that the outer case of the joint didn't move. I the turned the wheel just slightly and the shaft was turning inside the joint. There was a couple ...

Morning chaps. I was doing some regular work on my 90q yesterday and noticed some play in the inner CV joints. I held the joint tight and turned the wheel slightly and there was a couple of inches of ...

Hi Jaimie. I may have a grille sorted but if not I'll be in touch. Cheers. Steve

Hi. Thanks for the reply. It's just what I want but I'm in Devon and Durham is a long long way. Can I get back to you on this one? If I can't find one locally I'll contact you again. Cheers. Steve

Sounds good. How much o you want for it and what condition is it in?

Thanks Shaun. No worries. Thanks for the link.

Hi Shaun. The most important thing I need is a B3 bonnet. I also need a T shaped slam panel, a bumper cross member for a five cylinder car, the trim strip that goes underneath the headlights and if yo ...

I've now got my car back after the minor smash I had the other week and I'm now sourcing panels. On closer inspection it looks like I'm going to need a bonnet in addition to the other bits. Does anyon ...

Andy. Sent you a PM.

Brilliant stuff. Thanks very much. I'll be in touch.

Thanks Mike. That's a start. I'm not fussed at all about the colour. I'll be in touch.

I've just returned home after six years in Dubai and one of the first things I've done is crash my car. Nothing serious but a bummer nonetheless. Its a 90q 20v and I've suffered front end damage.

I'm fitting a replacement throttle pedal senior and would like to know if there is anything I need to know first? Does the sensor need recalibrating/ adapting or whatever with vcds afterwards?

Sorted! I bought a new pair of batteries then re-synchronised everything and jobs a good 'un.

Hi Mike.

I don't have a spare key. Actually, I been thinking, It may just be the battery in the key fob has drained. I'll change it and see what happens.

If that doesn't work and I do need to r ...

Thanks Mike. Just what I was looking for.

I've stuck this on here as I don't think many people read the Vag-Com page.

My central locking is not working. A scan with VCDS says that the key needs recoding or adapting or something. I can't fi ...

I'm having a set of braided brake hoses made up and need to know the specifications of the brake hose fittings, especially the rear banjo? If anyone know the answer I would be much grateful.

Thanks ...

The standard ET is 37 mm. Anything close to this will do. Use the car bibles calculator to work out what ET you need.
