    2.5tdi Quattro Avant why two pad sensors

    I've found the individual sensor handy - had a troublesome caliper rip through a pad in 3k miles due to it sticking. I now know when it goes off not to ignore it.

    Help needed wiring up a tuning box 2.5 tdi 180bhp

    Did you progress on this? Looks like you need to tap into 2 ECu pins but hard to make out the instructions from the pics.

    2.5 Diesel

    When working right they should pull from say 1750 rpm to 4k hard min makes peak torque at 3k and peak power shortly below 4k. Premixing 2 stroke helps. Also get the torque app and monitor MAF and Boost readings.

    2.5tdi V6

    Glad you got it sorted - I've got a few projects on the go and my A4 works "well enough" but I'm sure I've got an N75 or vac issue too so need to replace the lines at least. What N75 did you use and where did you source/how much was it?

    2.5tdi V6

    Andy, does the actuator move when you start the engine (have someone check) the actuator is super stiff with the bracket done up, it will not move like a 1.9 will. I've Mr Muscled my 2.5, trick is to take the downpipe off - pull it to one side and make a cheap gasket from cardboard or cling film...

    bigger nozzles for the 2.5 TDI V6, at last useful info !!!

    Sorry for any cross talk (over forums) but what can DSLA143P970 make on the AKE given sufficient air? I'm semi temped to mount these on my spare AKE bodies and see how they go. Norwescan - how did you find them?

    Single mass flywheel conversion 2.5 TDI AKE Quattro FTM 6-speed

    Agreed - I had a SMF on my 1.9 TDI A3 and if I ever get another one I'll cam the ****** and go lightened flywheel because I'll strip the interior and it'll weigh 1000kg. But it rattled a bit and needed little blips to smooth it out in idle situations and I understand they progress especially...

    2.5 V6 TDI ticking noise?

    OK Cheers - I have a spare set and hoping to find a good injector to swap the 5 to see if I can identify any of them being bad, but if the spare needle lift one is bad I'll need to get that rebuilt or replaced (well if both are bad). Just handy knowing others experiences as my searches has...

    There crap

    Interesting - I have to say I'm happy with them vs what I had before. I got them for their colour temperature mainly as I wanted a much closer to white light and saw others were closer to the white/blue range (white is just my preference). I'll note the others for future replacements and I...

    There crap

    I got some OSRAM nightbreaker lasers off Amazon for £15ish - (prices always varying on amazon). When I got my car the high beam bulbs were great but the one's with lenses over a bit meh - when one went I went with the OSRAM's and there are a massive improvement - now tbh a £5 set of bulbs...

    A4 estate 2.5tdi V6 intercooler replacement?

    I'd be interested to know if the "taco taco" or genuine larger FMIC's fit. I have the all metal IC's on my 2.5 and I understand they came as standard on allroads? Might be worth just having a quick check on ebay. Jumping back I am also interested if the bigger FMIC's do help things out at all...

    2.5 V6 TDI ticking noise?

    I've heard of moisture getting in through old return lines - these are typically a quick job to replace (mine were awful as very hard/aged). I'll be interested to hear if the ticking settles down - I have the same and suspect tappets/lifters and I've tried everything oil flush wise to free any...

    2.5 V6 TDI ticking noise?

    I've replaced all my return lines - fuel filter and thermostatic valve and I have the same ticking which I think is lifters or injectors. What injectors did you replace and why and was the ticking present before? Also are we talking return lines being cleaned or supply?

    VAC LINES 1.9 TDI - EASY TO REPLACE?

    Couldn't tell you how many lines from memory but very easy. Buy a length of it and cut as needed and replace - be careful with the N75 and EGR Valve's the nipples can snap if things are tight so some silicon spray or WD40 might help there.

    So Claimed MPG

    Nice one - noted for new parts I'll be getting. I've typically found ECP to be good with webcodes but just recently finding my 2.5/B6 (Different independent things) they don't have. How are you getting on with the changed TPS?

    So Claimed MPG

    My best on my 2.5 TDI Quattro Advant is 40 using very careful driving... Doing a very awful work commute 8 miles takes up to 45-50 minutes I get 28-32 mpg - I'm interested to see what changes with new injectors and a remap next to take it into the 250's
