I'm falling in love with this car, closing in rapidly on my B3 Passat and A2s. (All 3 sit even in my rather long term rankings). 2005 A4 sedan with few options but a will to live. I bought this car from a radio mentor in Williams Lake BC and to say it has had a hard life is an understatement. It...

FYI: I used the exact same Duratran as my first foray into this bent and heretical thinking, years ago. It's still in my 87 Jetta coupe and I'll tell you after 300'000 kms on it I'm inclined to think it's ok. I love that car... beat up, tired and low in springs (if any) and it still jumps and...

Thank you for that! I would only add: friction characteristics and materials suitability. I won't offer any of my limited experiences with other gearbox rated oils but, my experience with tractors over the years gave me copious anecdotal evidence of how well even conventional UTF flows while...

Well here's a change-up, slow and right over the plate. I've put Klondike full synthetic Universal Tractor Fluid in my 2005 A4 Jetta TDI and it's amazingly smooth and quiet now. I've been using the same in my '88 5 speed F250 4x4 diesel (ZF5) and in the transfer case in place of the recommended...

I know this is an old thread but... it sure has been helpful. I feel naked without a Bentley for this A4 and every bit makes a big diff. I have several books and wasn't aware Bentley Publishing has gone a bit dark? I shall treasure the ones I have even more. I hate the idea of subscribing for...

Chronic, recidivist VW-aholic here. I've finally acquired a TDI, after a long, long wait for a suitable candidate. I very recently purchased an A4, 2005 TDI sedan with the BEW PD that has 341 thousand clicks on the clock, one owner (bought new at Guildford VW in December 2004) and has lived in...
