    clutch needed and best remap for 3.0tdi

    Mine is a 3.0tdi auto and mapped. No slip and it just launches and the only way you feel it change is the engine note, its super smooth at changing. As advised, oil change first and check for leaks.

    Battery issue

    You can buy a cheap multimeter for under a tenner, bought one from Screwfix which I used to test a z4. It tests battery and also when car is running will give how many amps its knocking out to test alternator. Dont forget you can get duff batteries if they have sat about on the shelf or were not...

    Thinking of buying a 3.0tdi Quattro

    You have had some sound advice, to add to it mine is mapped but doesn't puff. Try and listen to start up when stone cold as I have heard some cars timing chain rattle at first which can indicate chain wear but for 3.5k you could probably break it and get a load back but you will enjoy it.

    140 TDI Remap Advice

    I had my a3 140bhp mapped at my house for £150. It pulled a lot better and was about 175 bhp and was well worth it. Your clutch should be fine but don't expect it to turn into an animal, and no dpf like the 170bhp has. The best bit is the torque.

    Audi or VW ??

    Ok the r32 is a nice car but if you want a nice convertible the a4 is well put together and with roof up still feels like a coupe as roof is well made and quiet. If you buy an a4 cab I suggest a 3.0tdi or s4 as a 4 pot will not sound as nice after owning an r32. The 3.0tdi still sounds nice as...

    0 to 60 mph phone app, 3.0 tdi.

    Just a bit of fun. My son downloaded an app on his phone for 0 to 60 times and bhp and quarter of a mile etc. Seems reasonably accurate, called Dynolicious Fusion. We tried first app "g-tag free" but it kept freezing. 0to60 was 7.72s with 2 passengers and before exhaust back box delete. With...

    Dpf removal expectations

    Adam they will have to map out the dpf so probably why they are still charging that, its a pig job to remove and gut. Suggest you gut and leave in place for a visual mot check. My egr was blanked and mapped out as well. Mot at moment is smoke test only though as per my mate who is an mot...

    3.0 tdi exhaust back box delete

    That's my best dressing gown lol. Yes I didn't say its 20 bhp the video did but all that aside it does pull harder and a noticeable difference but I did it for aural pleasure not power.

    3.0 tdi exhaust back box delete

    I wanted to hear the v6 a bit more so have had both rear boxes cut out and a straight piece of pipe put back in and retained rs tailpipes so it looks standard. There is a youtube video showing a red a6 3.0tdi with this delete and they reckoned 20 bhp gain due to being very restrictive. I don't...

    Coilover suggestions?

    Had a cheap set on an Audi a6 and once the salt gets on them its hard to turn adjusters as they rust up. But I had a more expensive set on a Honda s2000 approx. £700 and they had a special black coating on them and adjusted real easy. So if you do go cheap then make sure you spray and coat them...

    tuning box 2ltr tdi sline 2005 140ps

    Don't buy a cheap £60 one. Fitted one to a Mini Cooper D and was quicker but smoked a bit which was not good as it had a dpf and should not smoke. Cheap ones just pump more fuel in. Then I had a guy come round and mapped for £150 and although the same sort of power did not smoke. He said 140bhp...

    Dpf removal expectations

    dt-tdi as far as I understand the remap should remain the same. The egr delete will keep engine clean, dpf I would advise to keep but gut it, and map out swirl flaps. Plastic parts can be changed if motors are ok but even though I had a new 10k engine a year ago I had them deleted, got fed up...

    Rear Washer Jet

    Before you do that, get a wire brush, pull out a strand with pliers and poke that wire in jets, its surprising how easy they block up, worth trying.

    Dpf removal expectations

    Mine is a 56 plate, some have some have not got a dpf, it was an extra that could be ordered on certain years, but if dpf is gutted it is still in place and visual for mot although my year is just a smoke test. Laws will get stricter on newer cars. We have a fleet of 166k lorries, Mercs with 8k...
