B5 Audi A4 TDI

[G N K]

Avants suck. Saloons FTW

What an idiot!

Was this in Coleraine earlier? Had an A4 the exact same colour pass me at one of the roundabouts and now I’m wondering.

Not guilty your honour. I was at The Royal most of the morning into early afternoon and have been at home (Glengrimley) ever since.

Great motor those. My uncle ran a B5 avant 90 tdi for many years.

Health to drive.

Thank God for that for I was suffering third degree gurns with Clubland classics on.

Any chance it has a leather interior? Lol or an armrest? Or the centre console cup holders?

In the words of threat song in Grease…. “Tell me more, tell me more…..”

Black leather no armrest though
Cup holders are an American thing in the B5’s pretty rare
Ps the Passat doesn’t share platforms the Passat is longer

Did they not share platforms up to the b5. Pretty sure it was the b6 they stopped sharing.

Mine has these in it. But they appear to be missing something?

But I miss having an armrest lol

You dont need an armrest, your in a manual now. No more wafting about one handed in an auto lol

My Passats the same, those cup holders are crap

 

[Blackie]

those cup holders are crap

Couldn’t agree more! Lol.

 

[DJMCA]

Couldn’t agree more! Lol.

Mine are right behind the gearstick (where your charger is) so they actually get in the way of changing gear

My beer spills everywhere ffs

A welded diff perhaps?

Speaking of missing something, what about that seatbelt?

 

[gary1365]

It's always a good sign when the ash tray is full of fuses

Oh I put them there. The box I normally keep them in bust lol. I always carry spare fuses in every car I get! Better to be looking at them than looking for them!

The black plastic cover? I have it refitted there about 20mins ago.

Armrests and leather seats are just gonna weigh this baby down!. You need to be removing stuff to make the most out of that 90bhp!

Well I’ll be removing the exhaust soon (as soon as the new one is delivered). F**k me it’s the most rash bit of work I’ve ever come across in my life!

Not the work of the guy I swapped it from, I want to make that clear, but at least one owner previous to him based on an old advert I found on Fakebook.

A hodgepodge of what appear to be previous exhaust pipes all welded together (some pieces still with hangers on them) and instead of using the factory mounts on the floor…….welded to the floor or to floor braces under the car and has two flexi sections in an attempt to deal with the movement by the engine.

Oh and not a single silencer in the system. Now to be fair it’s not as loud as you’d expect, but it certainly explains the banging from the floor when you start the engine.

Also, before I raised the car, the rear axle must have been sitting on the exhaust!

In my 26yrs of working at, and owning cars I’ve never seen anything like it.

Pics, please we must see pics of the above mentioned abomination!

Yea that’s what I’d seen myself. Cat and front pipes are the same, the rest is different.

 

[Blackie]

Thanks for that @Tufty as it confirms the part no’s I’ve been looking at for the cat.
