Rick at Unicorn did a great job of remapping my 225 Mk1 TT a few years ago but he doesn't do the 1.8T's anymore. Too many cars turning up with too many issues. For the distance you want to travel I would recommend Performance Torque. They are very good and was big in the 1.8T tuning community...

If you suspect the DPF log the DPF pressure sensor. This measures pressure on the engine side of the DPF. You will soon see if it's blocked. If the DPF is blocked and you try and rev it hard you could end up damaging the engine. Try logging EGT's as well. These will be high if the DPF is blocked...

Check the wire connections to the clips on the battery. The wire can break inside the insulation.

I bought it off Fleabay. Just found the part number and looked for the best price. They are not handed so will fit either side. I fitted a Meyle item. There are Lemforder and Febi items available. Any of these would be a similar quality to the OE part. Had a quick look...

Could feel a vibration through the car when the engine was idling. No other issues so I checked for faults and got an error code for the drivers side engine mount. Upon removing the inner arch liner and looking at it I found it had pretty much broken apart in 3 or 4 pieces. The aluminium...

Putting the lock carrier in the service position is the recommended way of doing this. A lot of jobs you can find alternative ways of doing them that may save some time but as you have found can be difficult. With the front opened up the job to change the alternator is a doddle. I had to change...

Glad you got is sorted and thanks for closing the thread with the resolution. Hopefully somebody else will find this useful if they have a similar issue.

I am not sure how OBDeleven works compared to VCDS. Fuel pressure should be about 40 bar 4000kpa at idle. When it's cranking it will probably be a bit less but with VCDS you get specified and actual readings. Not sure if you get the specified reading with OBDeleven .

Can you hear the in tank pump start when the ignition is turned on?. Boost pipes off won't stop a car starting. Is the Tacho registering when the engine is turning?. If it is the crank sensor is probably good. How did you decide the fuel was good. You need a lot of pressure in the high pressure...

Due to the placement of the sensor if you are in standing traffic or park the car the sensor can be heated up by the radiator resulting in higher than actual temps being seen. As soon as the car is moving ambient air will cool it and it should read correctly.

Either will do they are both compatible with G12. https://www.prinzauto.com/en/all-you-need-to-know-about-antifreeze-g13/

You won't damage the engine but there will be several air leaks on the intake which is what is causing the running issues. Don't use the cars and do the job properly when the new gaskets arrive.

Check / change the PAS fluid. You will probably find it's either low level or the original fluid. You need the green CHF fluid, this should cure the whine. 43mpg for the age of the car along with it's size isn't that bad. The issue you have with intermittent boost is probably related wit the...

Well you now know why it was cheap. MAF unplug, Code read and checking for boost leaks in the hoses are where you start. After that there are many things that can be wrong with these engines. Certainly not one of VAG's better powerplants.

So the noise is coming from the DMF/clutch as the map has exceeded the clutch capacity. The 240mm clutches fitted to the B7 3.0 TDI AFAIK are just a slightly revamped version of what is fitted to the high power manual petrol cars. Flattening down the torque peak doesn't really make that much...

That will be a clutch/ DMF issue. Did you have the DMF replaced when the clutch was changed ? .

http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/16683/P0299/000665 You have covered a lot of things already. Could be the N249 valve , you need to check all the small hoses associated with this . How many miles has the car covered?, has it been mapped?.

Surprised the Gates item is the cheapest. Wouldn't have an issue fitting that. Googling the part number looks to be made in China. But what isn't. https://allegro.pl/oferta/gates-termostat-audi-a4-b7-a6-c6-2-7-3-0-tdi-7537683420 New OE one here, Looks very similar to the Gates item...

If it's only ever come out when the sun is shining then could well be 11K miles. This is the UK.

Earlier cars do. By the time they got past about 2006 think they were sorted.
