Hello!
I live in Sweden and i bought an Audi A4 2.0 TDI 140hp 2007 with DPF 6 months ago.
So far all i´ve done is an oil change and removing the automatic locking at 15km/h with VCDS.
I will try to do as much as possible of the maintenance myself, because i like doing it and i know that it´s done propertly.
My dad and i are currently building a new garage so we have a place to be working on our cars, currently there´s only floor, walls and a roof, no doors, no inner roof but we will continue the work as soon as spring comes. It will have room for four cars (8.8x14 metres), and have a 2.5 ton 2-pillar lift on one of the spots.
Before the audi, i had an Volvo V70 TDI for six years. It had the VW group 2.5l 140hp tdi (same as Audi 100 and early A6s, dont know if they were availible in the us?).
Before the V70 i had an older Volvo 760 Turbodiesel with the 2.4L six cylindre VW engine.
Even longer ago i had an -85 VW Jetta 55Hp diesel
You can see i´m a diesel person :thumbsup
The audi is now at 85k miles. The engine (+ turbo) was replaced on warranty at 50k due to oil pump failure. This was before i bought the car so i dont know any details on exactly what happened.
I would also like to say English is not my first language, and especially not technical terms, so i apologize in advance for poor spelling and grammar.
I´m thinking i will find a lot of useful information and help on this forum :nana2:
Best Regards from Sweden!
