Noone tried a turbo diesel KJ Jeep? In theory it ticks all the boxes except the five speed auto does not have a sports mode sequential shift. My problem is that what happens if it cracks up on the Newell? Stranded big time?

I'd like to know how/why, considering that under the skin they're effectively the same vehicle.

Exactly, Although I have heard lots more about tailshaft, driveline etc, turbo and electrical problems with the ToeRag's, but that probably just because they are more common?

q7 minor service 350 ( every 15000)

major service ( every 30k) 600 ( every 30000)

i change the oil evey 7500km costs $150

in the next week ill let you know how much gearbox and diff oils are

still waiting for teh engine to explode and it does some hard yards towing my POS

fingers crossed

their so shit ill be upgrading to the v8 tt to hall arse faster in 12 months

I never said they're shit you cranky sheet carnt. :P

I've towed using Q7 (R34 GTR) and Toureg (R32 and R34 GTR's), both V6 TDi, and I reckon they're a bloody fantastic tow machine!

However, the fact remains they scare the beejesus out of me post-warranty.

Me too...and I bought one out of warranty. :O Service in a few weeks, sphincter is tightening already.

I dare say that's something to do with it Timmay.

I also recall Capt Fathom's Q7 engine (3.0l TDi) exploding spectacularly while towing his car to Lonnie from Devonport..... still under warranty thankfully.

Was Bourkey driving it though??? Lol :ph34r:

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
