Is it possible to rollback an emissions software update? It's definitely affected mpg and I think also noise at lower revs on my 2017 2.0 TDI 184 (CUNA engine code) I don't want a remap, just the original engine software. I've found some places online that do it, but they seem to be coy with...

I've got a 2017 TDI 184 that is due an oil service. Booked it in at AUDI and they advise me there is a "recall" software update for the engine ECM. I asked if this is something I can opt out of, and they said no. I'm open to improvements, but something tells me it might be related to emissions...

LCD screens are cheap so this technology is going to be rife in all cars soon (well it's almost there now). I'm not a particular fan. Our tiguan has the full virtual cockpit screen, whilst I appreciate it's adaptability to show various layouts including sat nav, I prefer proper analogue gauges...

Don't suppose you still have those do you to sell?

I just got an Eibach Pro Kit, the front springs "look" identical to the H&R front spring so I'm hesitant to fit them (same spindly wire thickness (11.8mm) and the same height (off the car)). I borrowed this photo from another thread, it's fitted with Eibach Pro Springs, front looks too low vs...

@-Ju- do you have any photos? I think I might have to change something, maybe fit Eibach Pro and alter the internal bump stop to make it less of hard whack. Right now, if the road is undulating or remotely bumpy it's like riding on a soft pillow and then hard thuds as it hits the bump stop.

Is anyone running Bilstein B8 dampers on their A3? I've fitted some with H&R 30mm lowering springs (not the lowest they do) but it seems to sit far too low (they are the standard H&Rs) and seem really soft. The damping on the front isn't great, not much improvement over stock S-Line, and I keep...

Do all A3s have a subwoofer? Where is it located? I have a 2017 TDI Sline, it's got what I assume a standard system but seems to lack bass and I thought with my 57-reg Sport having subwoofer as standard in the rear left bootspace this new car would have something too, but doesn't sound like it.

Torsion value on my BMN is 3.37 when timed perfectly and what I run it at. Setting it to a true (as in not out of range) 0.00 it runs less well (flat and less mpg). I've tried all variations from -0.1 to +3 and it doesn't run better than the base timed position (timing lock keys). My cambelt...

Could be an air lock. With the car running and the expansion cap off and water at normal level, try to peel back the top heater matrix hose a little. It's tight for access but if you have proper hose clamp pliers it's doable and releases air/leaks water, at least then you know there isn't an...

Try activating "Scandinavian" or Canadian setting in VCDS, this might put sidelights on ignition. I have mine set with proper DRLs (in place of the halogen main beam) though so that the rear lights and front DRLs are on all the time but I have the bi-xenon type headlights. But on the halogen...

Thanks, I actually ordered a VDO sensor from GSF but a Metzger sensor arrived so should be decent quality. Ive actually left it loose but plugged in under the bonnet and it drives fine now. I took it to a garage to get it swapped over but they're feeling like the old one is going to snap...
