Lesson

Hi Chris, yes they should fit but you'll need to have your tracking done afterwards. Cheers Steve

The concern is, if an MOT tester finds the dpf is false then I suspect you could end up with big fines. Plus I suspect this would void your insurance. Cheers Steve

It should have unlocked the driver's door at least. I surprised it didn't. Cheers Steve

Thanks for the heads up Ralph 🙂 ill pin this so other members can find it easier. Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Simon, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 cheers Steve

I would have thought if it was turbo related you would be hearing whining or hesitation during acceleration in my opinion. Cheers Steve

Hi Chris when you say have the dpf and egr done, do you mean remove? If so it'll be an mot failure if you remove the dpf. With regards to the remap you should get good bhp gains but you must make sure your car is well maintained and any mechanical issues sorted otherwise it could affect the cars reliability. Cheers Steve

Saddening

Welcome to the forum Peter, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 cheers Steve

Sorry to hear of your issue. You've done well to get a good proportion off so far and I'd be definitely pushing for more. I totally agree that a 3 and half year old cat shouldnt have issues with the timing chain (depending on mileage obviously). As it's a known fault, in an ideal world Audi should pay the whole bill but this was probably very unlikely. Cheers Steve

Nuclear

You're welcome, you'd be surprised how many electrical issues can be traced back to the battery. Cheers Steve

When I've had this on my a6 with the same radio I just turn down the volume. There isnt any other way of doing it I believe. Cheers Steve

Besides the fuseboxes you've mentioned there aren't any others I don't believe. My advice would be to get an auto electrician take a look at them. Cheers Steve

You shouldn't have to cut the bumper bfor a swan neck or detachable type. Cheers Steve

Hi Richard there isn't a secondary battery. My advice would be to get your actual car battery checked as it could be on it's way out if it's the original. Halfords can do a battery check for you to make sure it's providing enough umph. Cheers Steve

Hi Andy, these are common issues on Audi's from this era. My a6 suffered the same with the cupholder. Needless to say I had to replace it as repairing it wasn't an option. Cheers Steve

Consequence

Why would anyone do that. Someone should have cabletied a trolly to his door handles

You're welcome 🙂 If a sensor has failed then it should be picked up on the diagnostic check. Worst case scenario someone might have hit you. Cheers Steve

You're welcome 🙂

Yep I agree with Piotr, it definitely needs a diagnostic check.

Tractor

Now the calibra is a blast from the past. My mum had 2 of them and they were good cars. Definitely a future classic 🙂 cheers Steve
