What's the state of the glow plugs like?

I'd get the headlight off and indoors to check for any other gaps/cracks it could be getting into. If it's on the back of the light get it sealed up with silicon. Also, check the caps are sealing properly on the unit. Whilst you've got it indoors ensure to dry it out too!

My car has stopped the whining noise whilst changing into 5th. It all stopped after I had the car remapped (most like coincidental) Or pushing more power/dyno run may have done something?

"Have a competition to see who can fit it in their mouth" :laugh:

Is it over boosting and dropping into limp mode? If so then I would, if not then wait until it starts to die.

04 plate 8P1 - replaced at 132k. Was standard but after the new turbo I did an EGR delete and remap.

It's quite scary what people will pay another person to do to their cars... So glad you got it all sorted out though! :icon_thumright:

Only £225 for the full remap including EGR delete! And when I removed mine it ran fine, a bit smoother to be honest. As for the flat spot, mine always had that until I hit about 3000rpm. But the flat spot has now been removed and I've seen a good 40bhp difference pull at that rpm. Well worth...

Just a quick update people. Jamie @ SP Tuning mapped the egr out no problem. He also did a performance map on it for me too! It's now running safely at 185bhp with 460nm torque :) I highly recommend him to anyone that want's work doing!

This one is from a petrol but it will show you where I mean... You should be able to see the nut spinning by putting your head pretty much on the drivers side headlight and shining a light at the pulley on the compressor.. Just please keep your hands away from the belt whilst the engine is...

Have a read of my thread here!

I'm getting mine done by Jamie @ SP Tuning in Leicester this weekend. £225 and he's going to include the EGR Delete map for me! :)

Try clearing the fault code and then rescan a couple of days later to see if it's back (or even after testing the climate control afterwards). Have a look under the bonnet and you should see the air con compressor. The clutch is built in, in the back so you wont be able to see this moving...

Ahh glad you got it booked in okay! When are you going may I ask? :)

Wish I knew about this a week ago! lol

Looks really nice! Is that a cheeky little oil catch can I can see hiding in there?!

Here it is mate: To get if off: 1 - take your engine cover off 2 - Remove the electrical connector on the right hand side 3 - remove the vacuum pipe on the left hand side 4 - remove the two bolts to the pip going to the egr cooler on the right hand side 5 - remove the bottom hose by...

The map is costing me £60 which is by far the cheapest I've managed to find. And for anyone interested in doing this I've outlined the costs of the bits below; £68.99 from Allard for the Race pipe, blanking plate and new nuts/bolts/washers/gasket - click here £8.50 from darkside for the EGR...

Just blocked it off with a screw buddy

As SmithyAG said, did it sort itself out after being turned off and back on? My A3 used to do that when I was doing motorways trips and then it became more frequent. I had vagcom plugged in and confirmed that the turbo was overboosting. Then the turbo started making a police siren noise so...
