Its unlikely repairs can be made, a lot of the auxillary engine parts manufacturered to acheive low emiision ratings have become so over complicated that to take it apart and recondition parts the labour to do so is two-thirds of the cost to replace it. Its intentional car manufacturers are selling less cars today because the cost to make them has gone up. they are recouping reduction of new car sales in parts. This has been going on for the last 3 decades. Google wet timing belts.... which now seem to be going into nearly every vehicle. A rubber belt that deteriotates submerged in oil and carbon based chemicals... they typically last long enough for the warranty to go by but not much longer.

No need to apologise - unfortunately I can’t help though. I got it done for free as the database got corrupted, was paying for map updates, had troubleshooted it all myself and hadn’t had the car too long.

Sorry to revive this thread, but do you recall how much the dealer charged to reinstall the software?

Hi. I've gone the other way, A4 40Tfsi to Q5 45Tfsi. I found that around town, I would get high 20's & into low 30's in the A4. On the open road, on a decent run & not caning it, I could get mid to high 40's quite easily. I did see 50+ on a few occasions, but that was quite rare. Significantly better than the Q5, although I have seen just over 40 from the Q5 once or twice.

I didn't have time to strip things down and check yesterday as I'm working nights for a couple of shifts now. Now I know what I'm looking for though I should be able to tell if the EGR valve is missing a pipe without too much faffing about.

did a 70 mile run and since the warm weather all ok

I'm thinking of buying a Audi a3 2.0 tdi manual or automatic dsg and just wanted to know if they are reliable I've bin told there not as reliable in comparison to the other engines and wanted to modify and remap the engine. Just wanted some thoughts and opinions on what engines are the best for doing so

new one i just got as going to add usb to back Universal Black Car Armrest Console 1 for X3 X3 1-48 cm Durable ABS Material - AliExpress 34

That sounds plausible. What is the other end of the hose connected to?

i have one and a replacement i just got Universal Black Car Armrest Console 1 for X3 X3 1-48 cm Durable ABS Material - AliExpress 34

No. The noise is always worse when turning because the balls have to move further in their tracks.

do a hard reset and see if helps

stop start fault is what i got from low car battery and the sensor on my post here

Where have you looked?

Oh for sure… never realised the originals were pretty much knackered (apart from the rust) but the new ones open/close si much nicer.

Hopefully this may help some people

Morning all Does anyone know if the audi s1 (2015) has the lock/unlock from door handle? as states in the book should have it, but it just looks color coded blanked

Hello I thought I would ask on here about catch can set ups. I've seen. Some pictures on Google of them set up with the fitting for the pcv deleted on the inlet manifold above the y pipe . Does anyone have any close up pictures of there set ups please

After a lot of research tonight I'm thinking someone in the past has deleted the EGR valve, anyone able to confirm this may be the case?
