Thanks for your help. I have finally worked out that it only leaks in when it is parked on an incline as it must be enough to allow the water that gets through to run back and drip on the wheel arch which then runs back in to the boot. I have also managed to find the drip with an inspection...

Thanks for the info. I can't see how it can be getting through it though unless it is the seal around where the petrol tank filler is. I also noticed the design was different on the new one so might be a common problem.

Hi All!!! I hope someone can help me as I am now about £500 in with Audi who have still failed to be able to fix the problem. I can even see and tell them where it is coming in through the petrol cap area and it runs down the side of the wheel arch inside the boot area which you can see...

I’ve just fitted a Cete active valve control and I’m really liking having the option of the engine sounding either quieter or noisier depending on the time of day etc. I’m just concerned that 4000 rpm is a little late to open the valves in comfort mode on a stage 3 tuned car. I know I can, and...

Do you still get a nice note from it @Boydie ? I must admit it does amuse me the looks I get off some old folk (like I’ve had a s*it in their front garden) but it’s not always appropriate, like when I went to a funeral last week.

It would be like an earthquake if I started mine at 6.30 in the morning.

Not sure whether to try one of them Cete auto valve control box as I had a valved exhaust not realising the valves don’t shut on startup and in first gear as standard so defeats the purpose of them for me as I was more concerned about keeping quiet in my street rather than making more noise like...

Does your exhaust have a resonator @Boydie? Just wondering if it’s ok to have one on a stage 3 tune as I’ve just had mine tuned with a decat and a non resonated exhaust but feeling like an ASBO will soon be coming. They didn’t seem to want to use a resonator as putting more pressure on the...

Do you know what torque you are doing?

I’m sorry I think you’re wrong as I thought the same thing but after then having two new valves fitting the shop plugged it in to the computer as they still weren’t shutting and took it for a spin and the computer had them open in comfort mode on startup and first gear then closed them in second...

PSI tuning in Stoke-On-Trent.

Hi sorry to butt in on your thread but you have been talking Dyno graphs and 4wd rolling roads etc and I am a bit confused and new to all this so please bare with me. I am wondering if this is why the graph I have had done on a 2wd rolling road is only showing 400nm of torque @ 501bhp (flywheel)...

Bet you are loving your new RS :hubbahubba:

You are possibly right but I might be a sucker for punishment :crying:

Thanks for you response but from what I have now read they should be open on startup as standard then close in second gear and at certain revs. The problem I got is I have just purchased a non resonated Milltek pipe with de-cat so wanted to keep the noise down on startup and driving in the...
