    Audi A6 quattro 5cyl

    Old standard system with twin CATS. weighed at least 100kgs















    Some pics from todays messing about.
    Standard power 230bhp not sure on torque.

    Power run also 265bhp at 6500rpm @0.9bar and 250lb/ft at 4000rpm. Not bad as it is 15years old car which has covered 188000miles and standard apart from cone filter and 3" exhaust.

    Well please with the first mod.

    Well, I am pretty sure my oil pump is on its last legs now. Low pressure on idle so I have ordered a new one. Even if its just the PRV, its all part of the pump so hopefully this is the problem and not some major internal engine wear!

    Pffffttttttt NO!!! lmao

    I would be scared of putting the timing belt back on wrong.

    Local small garage said he would do it but could not quote a time scale.

    If it is major damage, I will buy a cheap run around and break the car.

    Pump was £117 all in - its the fitting thats going to sting!

    If it comes to it, I will get a £50 banger and rebuild it I think. Would be an experience to say the least!!!
