Re: 2 stroke oil
Yeah absolutely . The results if smoke measured before dpf would reduce soot for all dervs . It's all about reducing diesels inherent ignition delay . Audi 3.0 V6 TDI quattro is a diesel GTR , and for a long time what I was going to buy next... Cheers mate. I'll start sticking it in the tank then 👍...

Re: 2 stroke oil
Gaz - is the carlube JASO FB ok to use with cars that have a DPF? Just bought an audi 3.0litre TDI but it has DPF, so wondering if i can use the same 2 stroke oil i did on my 2.7 tdi without DPF. If not, which oil do i need to buy?

Re: airbag warning light and no horn
I certainly would try that first. I bought one for about 20 quid off ebay. Easy to fit. Just make sure its central when you fit it - i.e equal number of turns each way, or you'll break the wiring when you turn the wheel. Also you'll need the airbag fault clearing.

Re: Another folding mirror question
If you look on the sticker which has all the option codes (3 character codes), you can use a website to find out exactly what options your car has. Or ring VW. Not sure puddle lights under mirrors always = folding mirrors. My audi a6 has puddle lights but doesnt have folding mirrors

Re: Another folding mirror question
Could they be manual folding mirrors i.e. on the mirror switch, is there a setting to fold them?

Re: Rear door speaker
No, you need to take the door card off. THe speak is then held in place with rivets, unfortunately. When i replaced my rear speakers, i drilled out the rivets and replaced with screws and nuts.

Re: Seized bolts on track rod ends.
The dealers will sell them, but dont have a part number to hand. Water gets in an corrodes them in place, plenty of soaking in plus gas and a hammer should do it.

Re: Front right wheel
Had this too, changed the wire clip that sits on the outer side of the caliper and all gone. Try that first.
I do have some carriers in the garage you can have if you pay for postage, if the clip doesnt sort it.
