    Oil filter change on A3 Quattro 2.0 TDI, 170 PD

    I have the same car and changed the oil filter a few times - never had a problem apart from a little wiggle, although I have had the EGR blanked off :sorry:

    DPF filter and mapping query

    I had this done a few years ago and the improvement is amazing (2006 A3 170 Quattro). I had the EGR removed at the same time. All done by Unicorn Developments - might be a good idea to give them a call. The only problem I had was the flywheel and clutch had to be changed. Not had a problem...

    Removing the glovebox trim on an Audi A3 8p

    Not sure about the latch side because I would love to know how to remove that. The other side (left) should just slide off. It has little tabs on the back that slot on to the glove box. Mine was fairly loose but the replacement was a pain to remove. Hope that helps

    Emmision Control System!!

    Well, got the car checked and the mechanic said its most likely the DPF. He gave me some Forte to put in the car and took it for a long drive but this didn't work! :crying: Spoke to the mechanic again and he said its probably the DPF sensor but it would be better to have the DPF removed. So...

    Emmision Control System!!

    Thanks for the replies guys. I'm planning on getting the DPF removed but can't afford it just yet so I'm hoping the force regen works! plymouthaudi - where did you get the remap and DPF removal done? £500 seems a good price. I've been told it will cost me about £650 Thanks again guys!

    Emmision Control System!!

    I'm REALLY worried now - took the car for a drive on the motorway - doing about 60mph to force a regen and the glow plug light came on and the car went into limp mode!! Going to take the car in to get it diagnosed, fingers crossed this is not going to be expensive to fix. Anyone shed any light...

    Emmision Control System!!

    Thanks for the reply dude! :salute: I've been up and down the motorway a few times and this sorts the DPF out. I had the emission light come on with the DPF a few weeks ago - took the car for a spin and the DPF light went off and then a day later the Emission light. This time the Emission...
