So where can one buy a steel oil pan? Here's what a good oil pan looks like: Here's what mine looks like: take one soft aluminum-alloy pan, add spring thaw, add a deep pothole buried in a puddle in the tire track right beside an upheaval in the center of the pavement, and one...

Justification for the \"Oldman Intake\" Here are some photos of the stock intake pipe that runs between the MAF and the turbo inlet. The photos aren't the best, but as you can easily see, there are lots of changes in diameter and lots of goofy bends and twists. For each clip on...

The A4 cars are equipped with the thermostat "T" on the fuel line. My understanding is that for fuel temps below a certain temperature, fuel is returned to the filter. For temps above, fuel is returned to the tank. If this is true, how full should the filter be? If I'm out for a drive and the...
