    VAG DPF app on CBAB engine...

    Anyone tried the vag dpf app on android for the 2.0 CR 103 kw engine? Supposed to work under the CFFB code but mine won't connect. I spent ****** £65 on an obdlink lx adaptor but that was a mistake perhaps as although it was recommended by the app author, I'm not sure it isn't that which is...

    Quick shift on TDi

    I've been looking for a quick shift for the car and wonder if anyone has one on their TDi 6 speed and can recommend what fits? I see many on eBay that alter the pivot point on the metal actuator but are the 2.0 fsi boxes really the same shift mechanism and box as the TDi ? This is what I'm...

    Clearmounts

    Got my ClearMount today and fitted it, sweet bit of kit. Love it. Air grilles are hard to pull out but worth it. This is steel and has both clamp and mag mounts for the phone, really high quality. I bought it direct from them for £26 shipped from Canada to the UK. The latest ones are full...

    For those who want to enable HHA (Hill Assistance)

    Guys, I have been looking into this as some will know, and tried to enable it on my car with no joy, it took the coding but threw up lots of errors and I ended up having to reset it a few times to get it settled down. I now know why it didn't work, how to get it working (not so easy as just...

    EA 189 service action - anyone had it done?

    I have been contacted by Audi regarding the above, and wanted to ask if anyone on here has had it done and did it affect anything negatively on the 2.0 TDi 16v CR motor specifically, CBAB. I am sceptical of it having as they say "no effect on maximum torque, driveability" etc as the emphasis is...

    Light sensor??

    I notice, that during the day my dash lighting is fully on, I.e. clocks, numbers and needles are all lit. When darkness falls, it goes out and is dark unless the car lights are switched on, (at least sidelights anyway as DRLs still don't light the instruments at night)...so it must have the...

    VCDS Scan after ABS / ESP fault last night

    Lads, anyone who is VERY familiar with 8P coding want to look through the following autoscan and tell me if they see any long (or short) coding errors - I know now I have a mechanical fault on the rear right ABS sensor but there are a few oddballs that aren't clear like CAN bus single wire...

    Whirring noise at idle only - alternator free-wheeling pulley?

    Hi folks, I've searched the forum but came up blank, however my new car, a 2.0 TDi S-Line has an annoying whirring metallic sound while idling at the lights which seems to go when revved up a bit, and doesn't seem to be the clutch bearing or tie in with anything else except idling engine speed...

    TDi owners - ULSD may shrink your tackle.....

    Ultra low sulphur diesel (city diesel, ultra diesel etc ) have been found to shrink something important in your life......the seals in your injection pump! The head seal usually goes first (like mine) or the IQ body seals (nasty) and the pump drips fuel constantly. But....there is a solution...

    Horrible rattle...

    I have a graunchy, rattly clicky sound coming from either the idler pulley / tensioner or the viscous fan body after the fan burst apart last week so my money is on that, what I cant seem to track down, is whether the viscous fan as it connects to the engine, is just a bearing and a pulley, or...

    I want to get it done the easiest and quickest route but as usual it looks awkward unless you know the wee tips....not like rads of old with just 2 topside clips and a couple of jubjub clips.... Does the slam panel trim need removed, or the whole front into the service position? Used the...
