I managed to get a mate to replace with a Pierburg, which I believe are OEM. £400.
That said, I now have the common judder issue around 1500-2500 revs. Had a forced regen carried out leaving no soot... It's still there
It's a fair point well made. I'm not sure she would notice apart from the power increase. That was a question I couldn't get a definitive on though, the exhaust note change... You also apparently get that diesel smell on start up.
I've booked it in now for the EGR. Yes this could get messy...
As above, these are totally different. You need to remove the sub frame to get at it. I've been quoted by two mechanic mates... £395 and 430. I can get it mapped, egr software wiped and dpf gutted for £300. It's the wife's car so not bothered and speed.
Benefits of having it all wiped. Faster...
I'm trying to convince the wife on coding it all out and gutting the dpf. She's not playing ball though and wants a new EGR... I wouldn't mind if it was her paying for it ♂️
Thanks for the reply chaps.
I should have mentioned that's it's the CFFB engine. I've since taken it for an Italian tune up which seems to have gotten rid of the warning lights and limp mode for now. I do however have a permanent EGR code P040300 which indicates a circuit issue with the EGR...
Hi, I'm posting here instead of the Q3 section given that it'll be the same engine, and hoping for a wide audience.
My wife owns a 2.0tdi 140 which has recently started flagging a flashing coil on the dash intermittently which sends the car into limp. Turning the engine on and off solves it...
There's quite a few twists to this appearing - Interesting fact H5, the TUV part would make a lot of sense (although add a further premium to parts I'd imagine).
Ess, I guess it's interpretation at the moment without any solid grounding, somethings going to happen - we just don't know what...
This was indeed owned by a member on the 8L section - last sold for approx 18k I believe.
Apparently it was QST's entrance into the tuning world, think it took 300 man hours, or similar to build.... involved the complete drive train transplant too, lots of hard work :)
There should be some...
yup appreciate what you're saying and agree to a large extent.
I'm not sure it's a massive industry when placed against hundreds maybe thousands more industries in the UK, so it still may be an option in my eyes - thats semantics though and I hope I'm wrong.
I just wanted to put the idea to...
Thanks Moag - I have also just had further confirmation on the other thread from Badger5 - saying that the emissions are no different mapped or not.
I thought this was rubbish - I just needed clarfication on the only possible way to check - emissions...
Thanks for everyones input :)

Thanks guys - completely see the point about killing off the industry - overall as a piece of legislation, it doesn't seem ideal at all.
I suppose my main thing is, I just wondered how any possible check could be performed given the lack of OBD data
Hiya chaps!!
Long time Hope you're all well
Note: I have posted this on the 8L part too to get a bigger picture from ASN members.
I have been speaking to a colleague who was going to have his car mapped, only to be told by a specialist 'I wouldn't bother, once the EU ruling comes in they...
Cheers matey - keep that 'red' flag flying, its still the best colour :DDD
Thanks Sandra, thats one i will still keep commenting on, don't worry :)
I know i know haha..... your right, it is..shame about the fact they only come in auto :(
Hiya chaps and chappesses!!
Just managed to get around to posting on my recent purchase, im sorry to say it's come at a cost of giving up my beloved Audi's after over ten years :(
Hope you all forgive me...
Don't forget the bedding!! a mattress with no bedding screams 'poor' ;)
It will fit btw ;) managed to get one in my 8L S3 few years back folded in two :)
I think describing it as a 'nerve' is giving you too much kudos fella :)
I am indeed calm, but there are only so many ways to write the same content and explain a perfectly valid theory before you start to sound condescending & patronising.
Criticism is well received if its valid and...
