Re: Walbro Fuel Pump so you still have the metal cover off and seats down?? bro. maybe thats the issue.. try that and see how it sounds.. and dont worry.. i go through the same paranoid thoughts everytime i do something to my car as an upgrade.. __________________ its slow

a couple simple gauge questions i reset my service warning tonight for the first time ever and my ambient air temperature display takes a few seconds to come up now. wtf? also, i installed a new oil level/temp sensor a couple weeks ago and it seems to read 50-75 degrees low. it is working, because it reads maybe 175 after i drive the car for a while. also, when i first start it up, it reads correctly. i remember reading about some problems...

If you want an S4, the Mazdaspeed will never be enough. If you want something practical and new, the S4 will never live up to this. Decide what is more important. If you have ultimate goals of heavy duty mods, the choice should be simple; the potential for the S4 blows the Mazdaspeed out of the water. I like the MS6. But it has no character.

Re: Cracked my oil pan this weekend Random question, which JBL subs do you have, GTi's? And on the Panzer, they're stout for sure.

i have a 034 TBB and mine has come off a few times, not 034's fault. Silicone gets very slippery no matter how much you tweak that clamp if *any* oil or water gets between the surface and the boot. Make sure it's clean (isopropyl acholoh works good) and I'd even rough it up a bit with some 4-600grit sand paper or a scubby pad.

You should definitely get the phenolic spacer (sp). I did mine in less than 3 hours by removing the manifold and I'm a total noob mechanic. It's really easy, just be careful to vacuum out all the crap around the IM gasket before removing it. Looks like a breeze compared to your piggy write up.

i tried seaching but i wanted to know if anyone has a write up as to remove the beltline trim in the a4/s4. im getting rid of my wood and getting aluiminum. im driving about 2 hours to go get it and i have to take it off myself so im looking to see what i need for tools and how to do it, i dont wanna try to mess with mine until i get some expiriance with it incase i break something. thanks
