  1. Various tuning companies out there for remaps. Make sure you pick one that has a rolling road. Celtic tuning, revi, darkside developments are some examples
  2. Could arrange something. I'm based in Leicester and fellow member I meet up is in Wolverhampton.
  3. Thanks kev. Heard the 2.7 suffers from injector a d timing chain issues. I've had a quote to rebuild my engine for £2200. But then I'd have to get a new turbo, injectors etc. This company: http://hayesengines4x4.co.uk/ Very tempted with this option but do a turbo upgrade from the 3.0TDI which can be converted to work along with upgrade (race injectors), FMIC, egr blank, aluminium rad, sports exhaust and then remap on the new engine. Think this could give best of both worlds of new engine and extra performance. I'd be adding a new clutch and dmf. Very tempted to fit a new injection pump.
  4. Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 Glad you've looked at YouTube videos. Make sure all electrical items work and gearbox has been serviced. And quattro system has been serviced. Linked to this make sure tyres are the same brand and the same tread on the the same axle if that makes sense Yep Timing chain can always be an issue but should be fine as long as car has been serviced on time.

  6. I'm with ahead and my insurance came down when I renewed in January
  7. Bose is an optional extra from the factory. However some people question the quality of them.
  8. Wouldn't the boot one run off the other 2 sockets?
  9. This in Dartford?
  10. I'm slightly confused, is this an iveco engine or has it been engine swapped? The iveco 2.5 turbo is an inline 4 and mines a v6. So will the current rad etc fit directly. Or do I need the radiator etc.
  11. You're doing the right thing being on top of the maintenance. You'd be amazed how many people cut corners on servicing
  12. The locking function is standard and common on vag cars from.the era. If you look at the pinned thread near the top of the TT section (post above yours) you'll see a thread I've done on the rear window repair 👍
  13. Thank you so much for your kind words, it's greatly appreciated 🙂👍
  14. From all the admin team Just want to wish all our members a happy Easter 🐰🐣 hope you have a great day 😊
  15. You might find theres mounting points attaching the headlight to the front panel under the bumper.
  16. I agree eBay or I'm sure Audi will sell them.
  17. You could also consider a failing CCM which I think you'll find under the passenger footwell. Have the carpets got wet recently?
  18. Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 nice to see another member not far from me. Sorry to hear of your issue. Please could you tell us roughly where the location is, could it be on the egr?
  19. Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 😃
  20. I do appreciate the help from both of you as I really want to save the old girl. Every engine rebuilder I speak to are saying no.
  21. Steve how would it work regarding hooking up the instrument cluster and injection pump as both are coded to the ECU? And I'd need to replace to radiator, starter motor etc wouldn't it? Would it bolt up to my 6 speed manual gearbox? Would it be easier to fit the 1.9 pd150? What's the service history on the engine Kev? What mileage has it done? what's the bhp etc? Interesting it's been mapped by darkside. Would it come complete, Ie: just take it out the iveco and go straight into the A6. And how much?? 🙂
