I buy these parts when I can get them as they are hard to find for the smaller engined models. In the Chopsticks box are the 2 strut towers for the Corsa. Would you be interested in the purchase of my Audi A6 1.8t ? 2002 Split_Pin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite fancy an A6 to keep the cab company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I went to Tesco in the Tempra this evening. Got back out and it wouldn't start - battery was too flat to get the starter motor to kick in. I had to get a push start off a couple who came out of the shop behind me (they offered, I didn't ask). I then went a very long way round to get home so as to put a bit of charge in the battery - hopefully it'll be OK for a bit now. It has an aftermarket immobiliser fitted which I think is probably what's draining it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrabbieRonnie Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Dare say I am preaching to the converted here, but used an oil suction pump for the first time yesterday, whilst servicing the Audi...

lanciamatt Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 They are ok, but my mums smart car didn't have a sump drain plug, but the original sump rotted through, when I changed sump the amount of crap sat in bottom was unreal, the car has only done 30k and was serviced every year. I'd recommend doing a normal oil change every other year to Get crap out of sump.just my opinion. wuvvum and BeEP 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow! No mess, no jacking up/lying down... Why have I not bought one before?!!! I have had mine for a couple of years now and it's great for all the reasons you mention. As long as you do regular oil changes I wouldn't worry about gunk in the bottom of the sump but if the car hasn't had one for a long time then indeed a normal change via the sump plug would be an idea. The lance on the pump is pretty small diameter. TrabbieRonnie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nacho man Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Just purchased some shares in Aston Martin as there like 58p each at the moment. Does that entitle me to a go in some of the old stuff, you know, being a shareholder and all that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lance on the pump is pretty small diameter. I've used nothing else for the last six years. Whenever a new car enters the fleet I drain it via suction and then crack the plug to see what's been missed, on the Golf SDI and the C1 I literally couldn't get a single drop out! I've never seen any more than an egg cups worth out of any car. Needless to say, I really like the vacuum set ups.
