Do you have anything in writing from the seller confirming the car has had warranty works done etc and the vehicle doesn't have an issue with oil consumption ? If not can you get them to confirm it now over email text or WhatsApp etc. Be clever about it.. If you can get something in writing from...

How long ago was the warranty work done ? Does the vehicle have a full audi history ? It would be possible to remove the chip (it’s a software remap) and put the car ECU (computer) back to standard and try another audi garage, but it really depends how long ago the work was done, and audi...

Hi Rick I have a 2.7 TDI (06' - BPP) with a max spec boost in VCDS of 1386mbar (taking off 1000 for atmosphere) yet have no idea if it has been remapped as cannot find factory spec max boost levels anywhere on the net? Can you please advise ? TIA

Comparing that map I hve linked is the best way to figure out your problem but until u get that far and obtain diagnostics, I will ask if there is a motor spinning sound when roof shut and you press button to open hood. The sound will eminate from where you put the emergency key Middle top to...

When you get the diagnostics on it (VCDS) here is a link to the most useful 'map' telling you what positions the roof switches should be in for open or closed state of the roof - ''I'' being on ''O'' off. In short, the ECU for the roof requires each of the switch positions to be correct in order...

Does the roof top latch mechanism unhook (x2 hooks) from above the sun visor areas both sides when you drop it ? Ive just completely overhauled one of these on an 02' plate.

As Paul says, many codes can be caused by low voltage over the cars life and many gargaes dont clear them out or check. When i say low voltage i mean the time between the key is turned (cold and battery low) and the point the alternator kicks in, and that short period is enough to throw many...

My girlfriends 2008 A4 Cab 70k, suffers from unusually high consumption. I also personally know someone with a new Q5 that had a new engine because of it. I think it would be worthwhile if those who have had goodwill fixes, what your VAG history was like? Anyone have details of the successful...

Has an old piston in it but as Tuftty advised, there is a new version with O ring seal, but i now think having read through everything that i may just pop a spare one OEM one back on i have lying around..

This thread does not appear at the top of the A3/S3 Type L forum in the highlighted threads i am looking at. It must be frustrating your life's work is therefore getting overlooked - I feel your pain !

[QUOTE="16Klappe, post: 2315052, member: 35 That famous year Forge DVs in the S3 were being discussed in depth by every tabloid and broadsheet in the country. How could i have missed this land mark event..

Yes it would, but then the higher intake manifold vac created by a remapped car would compensate for that. All this said, in light of what are probably marginal differences, i wander whats wrong with the stock DV - certainly seems better than the phase 1 Forge DV without the o ring on the piston...

You misunderstood my last post - a stiffer spring should speed up clamping/closing of the recirculation piston (however marginal) when you get back on the throttle before the boost acts on it, that said, i doubt it will have any real world perceptible difference, but was posing that question to...

Theory suggests a slightly stiffer spring (obviously not too stiff so as to give surge) should clamp that bit quicker to offset higher vacuum generated by the intake of a bigger boosting car and speed up the turbo spool when back on the throttle, or again, is this effect of these uprated springs...

Makes good sense.

Have just seen their updated piston tip design with seal you mentioned Tuffty - makes sense :) Thanks.

I understand they wont generate more boost, my query being whether higher boost can break the seal of the piston when using the green spring and interesting to hear from you it doesn't. This is the piston : http://www.forgemotorsport.com/content.asp?inc=product&cat=0007&product=FMDVR112

Can you buy them individually as can only seem to find the x4 colour pack online ?

Yep using the green has anyone noticed you are getting boost leaking past it on WOT ?
