2006 A3 Fw drive
 

I was wondering if anyone can assit me I need to replace my driver side axel shaft and was wondering if anyone would know a reasonable price point to have something like that repaired. Thanks:cheers:

Call Independent tuning (in Toronto).. amazing shop, amazing people, honest and skilled. 416 285 4206. Mark will give you a quote.

Also,, if your car has upward of 80000 kms, you might want to look at having the intake valves cleaned ( I just did mine, made a huge difference,, resotred the original power and the stumble is gone) , replace the highpressure fuel pump piston cap (they wear out then break throuch.. 60$ now saves you 1800 later),

Re: 2006 A3 Fw drive
 

Thanks for the advice , I will have to get that done as well. I am at 124k right now when do you think I should take care of the timing belt and water pump ?

Re: 2006 A3 Fw drive
 

mines a 2006 also.. at 124k,, you're well over due for the timing belt. as for the water pump,, i don't know, but of course its cheaper to do it all at once.

Re: 2006 A3 Fw drive
 

Audi of mississauga told me the timing belt is due at 168k ?????

what did you clean the valves with ?

Re: 2006 A3 Fw drive
 

i don't know.. independent tuning did the valves and intake flaps. made a world of difference.

Re: 2006 A3 Fw drive
 

Second on IT, you won't be dissapointed.

AoM said 168k for a timing belt? I'd like to know who said that.

Re: 2006 A3 Fw drive
 

Can you gimme an estimate as to how much this would cost, and length of time? I just purchased the fuel pump cam follower and definitely want to replace mine. I'm currently at 103000 km. I want to have my intake valves cleaned asap...

Thanks..

Re: 2006 A3 Fw drive
 

I just called Audi Dealership and they told me I can change the timing belt and water pump at 145k...So I am going with that for now ....

Forget who it was I will check my invoice from last service.

Re: 2006 A3 Fw drive
 

I am really confused on this whole timing belt thing?

Re: 2006 A3 Fw drive
 

its pretty simple, most car dealerships and manuals will tell you 150 and it would seem that the numbers that are being thrown around are all around 150.

I am about to do my old car which is a civic at 300 still running on the original belt but i would not recommend waiting that long lol

Cheers
