    My audi A4 3.0 tdi experience

    Guess supermarket oil is better ! 9.5 years in a 2002 high mileage vulnerable camshaft 1.9 tdi PD practical ! Very disappointing result , OEM genuine isn't always best . An American mechanical engineer who researched tribology tested over 250 oils for high temperature oil film strength...

    My audi A4 3.0 tdi experience

    You'll never get any air purity from these so called performance filters as in an attempt to flow more air the filter media is always more open structure allowing through more dirt , quite a few studies and vids on it now . Decades of one of the most false marketing successes and still going in...

    A4 2014 3.0 tdi chain rattle

    Out of quite a few car manufacturers 9 times out of 10 it's the chain tensioner that's at fault first as being hydraulic and fed by oil , wear and tear and not a robust design for longevity . Stop Strain if fitted and used will give it an even shorter life .

    Best pads and discs for 2015 Allroad ??

    Brembo and EBC Redstuff and on another Brembo and Ferodo Eco Friction . The former was to cure a Pagid disc 'warp' with the Redstuff , same used Redstuff pads put on and all good . No point in any discs with a silver paint / coating because... Choose the real deal .

    Post your lowered B8,

    Well I remember Bobby putting H&R on and not long swapping them out for Eibach as H&R were hard , so I guess that kinda narrows it down . Big heavy and wide wheels destroy ride quality and vehicle dynamics .

    Anti tamper stickers bust on new EBC pads?

    Right..... That why I've 3 cars with full sets of Redstuff . You could always buy Ferodo Eco Friction , an excellent low dust pad , but are you going to say they are crap too ?

    Just fitted a backbox delete onto my A4 3.0 TDI but no difference in noise. Can I cut a flap on the DPF, gut it without having to remove completely?

    Probably still driveable just won't exceed 3000 revs which isn't an issue . Reminds me of similar tuning situations.. Mapped for super unleaded but can only briefly find regular in an emergency - drive off boost . Bigger or hybrid turbo fitment before mapping , just drive gentle to the tuner .

    Just fitted a backbox delete onto my A4 3.0 TDI but no difference in noise. Can I cut a flap on the DPF, gut it without having to remove completely?

    Yes it will as the dpf pressure sensor will be looking for a different range of values . It will think you've got an exhaust leak ! Drive like a feather on the throttle , a stab and it's limp mode city .
