See mine was boosting and not even that slow really! But you could hear the air p***ing out so was probably not as efficient as it could be! Also my MPG went through the roof!
let me know how he get clean goes! Should be easy!
I've thought about doing the turbo clean with good old mr muscle...
Well I wasn't being paranoid! My mechanic has found the boost leak! Going onto my inter cooler the clio that holds the hose on had complete bust off! Sorted!! Hope it helps some of you! Pick the car up tomorrow and I'll report how it feels now with full boost! Cheers.
I got mine deleted in the software and given a blanking plate to put in... You don't notice a difference and can't see the difference either which is good!
I have a 2.0 tdi quattro.... It's plastic and stuff everywhere! You can't see any of the boost pipes and I'm not he best anyway! Just seems easier as it's going into a garage in the morning! Hopefully something simple and a cheap fix!
Today I opened my bonnet and reeved it at about 1.5 ad I could clearly hear a pshhhhh... Air coming out of somewhere! Couldn't identify where but it's definitely air! I text my mechanic and he's having it in on Monday to have a look.... He asked if I get a lot of smoke and I don't think I do...
My EGR is blanked as the guy have me a plate who did the remap and deleted it in the software... Ican definitely hear an air leak when I rev it at a stand still. Don't know where to Strt though! You had any luck?
I'm all the way down in Cornwall... See I had mine remapped at Christmas... He guy said my boost was dropping off early... Made 182, So to go away.. EGR delete and get a new MAF sensor in... I did and took it back and it made 189 BHP... But after a few months now I don't feel it as much! I could...
I always want a boost leak test done.. Not sure if anywhere actually does these? Or it's just a trial and error of testing all the pipes till you find the bad egg if there is one!?
Hello Everyone!
basically I've been toying with the idea of upgrading my bumpers on my A3 to the newer S Line ones and I just need some guidance so I know I'm buying the right ones and which ones fit and so on!
I've read loads of threads and seen part numbers and other bits but I'm just unsure...
JOM's look okay! Although today after a year I'm fed up and have higher'd the car! Only about 10mm though... Just the JOM's are too soft! Especially with the TDI quattro being heavy! If I go fast on a-B roads it scrubs on the arches a lot..... Thanks for the remap info! I'll talk to R K...
Yea well I'm worried about the clutch and turbo, have a Sachs clutch as dmf kit sat in my room ready anyway hahah.. The place I'm going rolling road it before and after the map, with print outs of both... Apparently about 180 BHP so they say! £300 isn't massively cheap though.... I also need new...
Like the car!! I want a set if fat fives! Everyone's lucky getting sets but me ;( think I'm doing a remap this month hopefully! What powers yours putting out? Go well?
My lights are pretty crummy around the lanes too! I have the Phillips diamond vision as well, okay for towns and lit up areas, just I use my fogs sometimes on very dark nights.... I'd like oem xenons but there like £400 plus connectors and then fitting! Such a ball ache!
Yea they bounce and aren't the best for spirited driving. Alot of movement especially as they get older/more worn!
Thanks for the pic! Think ill buy some!
Did you all replace top mounts too while fitting? And any other mounts/bushes?
Cheers
Any pictures with the AP's fitted? I'm Thinking of ordering them! Got cheap JOM's atm, and would like some decent ones that handle rather than just looks! But want to keep it relatively low too! All the others don't seem to go as low! :(
