Yep, the good old metal and leather oil seals, your new rubber one's will work just fine as long as your flange isn't badly worn.

We have a S3 swb with a 200 tdi standard transmission with O/D and 3.5 diffs. She will drive all day at 60 mph with out braking a sweat and get 30+ mpg. Its our everyday vehicle, we don't do much towing, she tows ok but if i did tow more it would be much better with the standard diffs 4.7. We...

+ 1 with Kevstar, smidge is the stuff we use, also the Avon stuff the army use but don't leave it out side at night when it goes cold it sets hard in the bottle. Whisky, only if you use it to get hammered then you just don't care ;) We traveled just over 1,300 miles in two weeks and that's...

Funny you have posted that, i noticed the same thing with my D1 on the way home from Scotland to North Wales last Sunday. I was thinking it might be the heat coming up from the transmission, she was working hard towing a sanky full over the top with gear, 4 mountain bikes on the back door, 2...

It's not my personal choice she had that set up when i bought here two years ago. Don't totally dislike the look but probably will put her back to original in time.

Or you can have the best of both. ;) my 72 S3 200tdi.

Prestatyn, North Wales cost.

You might be right with the cheap fleabay pin. I will check the fuel screw tomorrow, cheers for that.

Thanks for the input gentlemen, yes the previous owner fitted a boost pin to the pump and put a straight through exhaust and blanked off the EGR. Not sure how good the boost pin is, i think it makes the engine smoke on acceleration and the extra power isn't that noticeable in my opinion. Many...

Coming home from Scotland in our D1 300tdi on Sunday and after travaling 300 miles we stopped at one of the services on the M6 for fuel and my partner just happened to see a red glow under the disco. Thinking the worst i opened the bonet quick to see the downpipe glowing red just under the...
