Eventually got round to it and got a custom ecu stage 1 remap put on the car with some dyno time.
Remap been on for a good few months now, since May. After selling the tuning box and putting that towards the remap it only cost me £204.
Overall very pleased with the results and got some...
Bump.. Bit of a update. 3rd time lucky maybe with a alarm siren?
Could not resist it when l saw a 2017 Audi A6 breaking, surely this alarm siren from that aged car should work. Bought for a decent price, so not a big hit on the wallet.
Fitted it 4 months ago but this time no sound, no beeps...
£360 was amazing price for service inspection, oil change, brake fluid change and cam belt and water pump renew.
When you compare with the jokers at Audi its £595. Got quotes from 2 other's, Bosch indie was £463, another indie german specialist was £399. These were just renew cam belt...
Agreed, I think £300 for a generic, off the shelf map is way over priced.
l have been quoted less than half that, £140 for a non custom map.
This will achieve similar results of 150 bhp to 185 bhp and 320nm to 410nm torque.
For now l am going to stick with my tuning box and do some more...
Had this tuning box fitted to the car since October 2016. 98% of the time with no problems. Still on now.
Within that time I have had very few issues with the car going in limp mode, maybe 4 0r 5 times.
Debatable now to what reasons caused this.
Playing with the settings (you get 21). Setting...
Anyone know are these the same engines?
The 2.0 tdi 150bhp and 2.0 tdi 190bhp
Is it the same engine, just the 190bhp tuned up a bit more than the 150bhp?
Like to know the 150bhp should have enough tolerance to be tuned up to 190bhp.
I always wanted to have the 190bhp engine but had to...
If you do it, then yes do both the timing belt and the water pump at the same time, I would.
But I think you can hold out a bit longer.
Most likely going to do mine early next year, sure it will last until then.
Not heard anything about these failing early on cars your age. But like...
Not had mine done yet, and it's a year older than yours and got 51k on the clock.
Belt looks fine though, tons of life left in it. Think you can leave it until 90k.
Not sure about the water pump, think that's at 60k
I'll hold out a bit
Still own the car and is now 6 years old and just passed its 4th MOT in September without any issues or advisories and continuing its clean sheet on testing.
Over 5 and half of those years the A4 has been in my ownership and overall l have enjoyed looking after my well groomed A4.
Can't...
A full trial is listed to take place not before March 2022. They know how to drag this out!
We will have a covid vaccine quicker than this is resolved.
