Hi thought I would share a positive on a job I did today, maybe covered but I couldn't find it. Just bought this Audi a3 and remote locking locks drivers door but doesn't open it so key has to be used. Audi wanted £163.00+vat for new lock actuator and I didn't even bother with fitted price...

Mine is a 3.0tdi auto and mapped. No slip and it just launches and the only way you feel it change is the engine note, its super smooth at changing. As advised, oil change first and check for leaks.

You can buy a cheap multimeter for under a tenner, bought one from Screwfix which I used to test a z4. It tests battery and also when car is running will give how many amps its knocking out to test alternator. Dont forget you can get duff batteries if they have sat about on the shelf or were not...

I would forget the tarty stuff and rip that exhaust off, boy do they sound good.

You have had some sound advice, to add to it mine is mapped but doesn't puff. Try and listen to start up when stone cold as I have heard some cars timing chain rattle at first which can indicate chain wear but for 3.5k you could probably break it and get a load back but you will enjoy it.

I had my a3 140bhp mapped at my house for £150. It pulled a lot better and was about 175 bhp and was well worth it. Your clutch should be fine but don't expect it to turn into an animal, and no dpf like the 170bhp has. The best bit is the torque.

Ok the r32 is a nice car but if you want a nice convertible the a4 is well put together and with roof up still feels like a coupe as roof is well made and quiet. If you buy an a4 cab I suggest a 3.0tdi or s4 as a 4 pot will not sound as nice after owning an r32. The 3.0tdi still sounds nice as...

3.0 tdi Quattro, proper handling car and can upset and surprise a few other cars who don't expect it!

jdp come on then what was your time bearing in mind you have 100 kilo's less lol.

Just a bit of fun. My son downloaded an app on his phone for 0 to 60 times and bhp and quarter of a mile etc. Seems reasonably accurate, called Dynolicious Fusion. We tried first app "g-tag free" but it kept freezing. 0to60 was 7.72s with 2 passengers and before exhaust back box delete. With...

Adam they will have to map out the dpf so probably why they are still charging that, its a pig job to remove and gut. Suggest you gut and leave in place for a visual mot check. My egr was blanked and mapped out as well. Mot at moment is smoke test only though as per my mate who is an mot...

Dpf London in Croydon.

Hi and welcome. My dpf blocked the day I bought it so I had it gutted, manifold flaps and egr deleted and mapped. Its a sweet engine. If it tells you to clear dpf do it straight away as they will clog up quick. If you need help pm me for more advice but its all fixable!

Welcome, I've had loads of bimmers as well. Nice colour and I like either s line rs6 alloys or bbs lm's. Once the nice weather comes you will forget the previous lol.

Ok double busted I was a bit tired when I posted!
