I'd put money on your egr valve sticking or failed. I would take it off and clean it. I think you can test using VCDS.

As thermostats get old they can fail by not fully closing, which allows water through the radiator before the car is up to temperature. What is the age and mileage of the car? Also if the car has ever overheated for some reason (such as a waterpump failure) it can ruin the spring in the...

Just to make it clearer, i dont want anymore power... Its an auto box generally left in Drive without hard accelerating so revs always seem to stay pretty low. Generally do long motorway journeys at weekends averaging 10k miles per year. All sounds very slow and boring I know! Driven...

Thanks Firecracker, an interesting read. Looking for a bit more of info around MPG improvements as i have no interest in more power (dare i say that on here!). Is there any data out there comparing the market leaders?

Hoping for a bit of advice please. My wife has had her 58 plate 2.0 TDI 143 Avant Auto for a couple of months now and is a little disappointed with the MPG at around 45mpg (driving carefully), but happy with the power. We plan to keep the car for a few years and want to buy a tuning box to...

I have just fitted a detacheable westfalia to my avant, its a great product, easy to understand instructions for fitting and you can't see the cut out unless you get down on your hands and knees. I used a drill and jigsaw for the cutout, the inside of the plastic bumper already has an outline...

Anyone have a clear photo marking which bits to remove/ dremel?

It did some searching on this when i bought our car a couple of weeks ago. If your software version is something like 201 or 2.01 it will only take standard sd cards. You can get a software upgrade at Audi, for which they will charge an hours labour, but the stereo will then accept up to 32GB...

You could use VCDS to check the ECU mileage (records in kilometres). Its approximate but pretty close and i dont believe it is easy to modify.

Did you resolve your problem? I've just bought a 2008 avant 143 and have noticed mine takes a few minutes longer than expected to warm up, just over 10 minutes roughly. I will be changing the thermostat when i change the timing belt this year and expect this time will drop. Few comments on...

Suggest getting the car scanned and see what fault codes you have. I may have the same fault you have. I have just posted separately describing my symptoms. Both problems could be caused by faulty speed sensors within the box. Has your car had new gearbox oil around 40k as required by the...

Had our new car less than 2 weeks and it has a gearbox fault. Its a B8 A4 58 plate avant 2.0 tdi 143. Car has done 56k My wife noticed a couple of times that the engine revs did not seem to match the gear and almost stalling when pulling away. Had the car scanned and have 15 occurrences of the...
