Personally ( from experience) i’d change your thermostat first, if its stuck open engine won’t get warm and so both oil and coolant temps will be down. Had my 1.9tdi a6 for 12 years now and its happened twice.

Welcome Wayne T , sadly this situation is happening across the UK and no doubt elsewhere in Europe. It also appears to be a lottery with some Audi's being successfully updated and others like yourself not so , it maybe worth mentioning that the 1.6 tdi seems more prone than the 2.0 tdi to problems judging by the feedback in the club. And like yourself in also had the wool pulled over my eyes too thinking it was the right action for the great of good ! .A remap to stage 1 seems the answer to correct this debacle being the general thoughts of most. Good luck with your quest and keep us posted buddy.

Welcome to the forum Konrad, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) Adam is spot on about his info on Audi yellows :) and like Adam, tucan yellow is my favorite Audi yellow :) Cheers Steve

Hi Konrad and welcome. Yes Audi do a few different types of yellow for its A3. Not all of the shades pass through the different A3 versions though. For example the newest A3 does not offer Tucan yellow as a standard colour, this was offered as a free option on the early mk2 A3. Vagas yellow is now a standard colour on the lastest A3. So if memory serves the mk1 A3 has one standard yellow found on the S3, Mk2 has 2 standard yellows And the latest has just vagas yellow. My personal favourite is Tucan though. So I owned a mk2 A3 in Tucan yellow and it polished up really nicely. Always had nice comments from strangers about its colour so I wouldn't hesitate in getting your motor. Hope this help 👍

Dang Chris Evans has a mk1 A3 ❤️. Neil your car looks great. its a case of here's what you could of had if you'd waited for me though 😂. No black ed around when I was in the market and I wasn't waiting for one to be built. Would love to see those alloys in the sunshine too.👍 Looks like a nice improvement

Looks great! :)
