Gavo mate, I really feel for you here. This has been a nightmare for you. So I have been away for a few days with work etc and come back on here expecting you to have gotten to the bottom of this issue. I got excited for a second then thought well strut top mounts does not make sense. Magnet picked up on this straight away too, it really does not make sense at all. You can do a basic test on the strut top mounts by the help of a friend. Park the car on grass, wetter the better. Don't have the engine on!! Get some one to turn the steering wheel from lock to lock while you have the bonnet up and both listen and feel the strut mounting point. The offending side will make a noise and maybe even clunk at either full lock. Hope this helps. Going 0mph or 100mph won't make a difference to the noise of the strut top mounts and I am so sure you say that you can hear. Noise when traveling now, whether you are turning or not? However, if it does indeed turn out to be these mounts then please accept my sincere appologies for offering my advice incorrectly. The dangers of reading and assuming we know what's wrong without actually driving someone's car. keep us informed though mate.

Just to clarify, you are technically breaking the law by removing your DPF. I mentioned previously (see above) about a friend of mine looking to remove his DPF. The garage suggested he may want to look at finding someone to do the removal for him as they were not willing to carry out the work as they would be heavily fined if the authorities tracked any DPF removal back to them. The car owner would be fined as well. There is an argument that most modern cars can still meet current emissions regulations without the DPF so therefore pass the MoT, but if you've removed the DPF and it does fail you're looking at the cost of refitting and the purchase of a new DPF unit assuming you haven't kept hold of it. And remember if you've removed the DPF and the car is still in warranty period, Audi will more than likely argue that you've invalidated the warranty on anything to do with the engine, possibly even more. It looks like I have the same model as you Wesley, and would suggest if its bothering you to put it into manual as soon as you get to m'way speed and knock down a couple of gears to get the revs over 3000rpm. I do occasionally get home after a 14-mile (mostly at 70mph) drive from work to have the fan running for 10/15 minutes once I've switched the ignition off, and believe this is to help dissipate the heat created by the DPF regen.
