    Just fitted a backbox delete onto my A4 3.0 TDI but no difference in noise. Can I cut a flap on the DPF, gut it without having to remove completely?

    Can't afford the 5hrs labour to remove the dpf completely & bought the £300 backbox for noise but zero difference :(

    I just bought my first A4 3.0 TDI B8 three months ago (had an A3 before). I noticed a noise & took it back to the garage I purchased it from, they diagnosed it was the timing chain but said they wouldn't fix it as it was just out the one month warranty! I contacted trading standards & they said...

    Wise to go stage 2 with a DSG gearbox?

    I currently have my A3 8p remapped & I have a test drive booked this friday for a A4 3.0 2011 s tronic. As the manual gearboxes can go up to 800nm with the standard clutch I was only looking into them but there aren't that many 3.0 with manual. The cost to replace the whole unit on an s tronic...

    For the past six weeks my radiator fan is on constantly, even if I drive one street. It powers off after five minutes. I've taken it into my local garage (crazy cheap) & they put in a new engine management sensor & also a fan switch but it's made no difference? I heard it could be the control...

    what remap to go for?

    I have a choice between a super chips remap (bluefin), £365, revo £420 or via star performance; £299. Jim at star said to me that the 170Bhp cr is pretty much at its limit and i'd probably have to get a new clutch past the 285Ib of torque. He thinks i'd only get an extra 15-20bhp but i've read...
