I still refer back to this thread as I slowly mod my car. Good stuff!

 

Glad to be of service. Damn my wife and her Mercedes. Don't really come on much anymore as everyone asks the same questions i have already answered 100 times. Wish more people would read this first.

 

This thread should really be a sticky: https://www.audiforums.com/forum/b7-...sticky-145445/

 

Let me say to anyone procrastinating about the stickys like i did, DON'T!! My PCV went bad and i was stressed out trying to find out what went wrong. I had damn near no boost. But i'm all good now. No CEL for me

 

Please add the following to the top:

Replace OEM with street or track Snub Mount: 15 minute job to reduce vibration and shift responsiveness.

Snub mounts can be found at:

ECS and APR Snub Mount

audiUP on eBay

034 Snub Mount

Black Forest Industries

Instructions

Any of these are better than the foam style OEM snub mount. However, I have seen reviews that the APR one tends to fall apart.

I have the audiUP eBay snub mount, as it had good reviews on Audizine.

 

I hope I'm not too late. I got the P0089 code on my recently purchased B7 and just now read this thread....

 

I can back up the audiUP snub as well. audiUP is actually local to me, I know the owner quite well and he's a good guy and doesn't cheap out on materials. I was blown away by the night and day difference between his mount vs. stock. Well worth the money to replace it and easy to change yourself; takes longer to get the belly pan off than to swap that mount out.

 

Great guide for changing the cam follower (with pics):

Just purchased my a4 2 months ago it has a little under 52K on it, just finished up the cam follower replacement. the old cam follower was just scratched nothing major but i figured why not. thanks for the guide! very helpfull. side note couldnt pass up the APR holiday special Fully loaded ECU for 599.99! Shout out to Imola Motorsports out of Minneapolis MN for a quick install!

 

Ugh... wish I had known of this thread when I bought the car 30k miles ago. Anyhow, worn follower and fuel pump end has some clear wear on it now at 76k miles.

Any suggestions on the pump? The new cam follower is in.
