    DPF delete, any alternatives to Milltek?

    I have a dpf removed from my 57 plate 170bhp 2.0 tdi in 2010, its was 3 years old at the time and had 50,000 miles with no problems (old cliche) motorway miles, this could be gutted for remap or as a spare for a faulty dpf. Sorry for the shameless advert which may get moved to the classified. No...

    Injector recall

    Careful here, not sure if there is a software update as well, so if youre remapped this could cause a problem or two.

    Question about spray work!

    When Ive had paint work done in the past I always check edges of panels/rubber seals for smoothness and overspray, also check that the repaired paintwork has the same texture (orange peel) as factory, as if you have different textures when you come to sell its obvious a repair has been...

    S3 MY12 Panther Build thread: The End; it's been emotional!

    can someone please explain why on my my11 S3 SB the door inlays are a single strip running back from the door open catch and on warrens car the door inlay wraps around the door handle. I was quite disappointed with this when I took delivery. Is a 3 door / 5 door thing? Sorry to hijack thread

    Shark Performance S3 stage 1- 3? Any good?

    I did a lot of research before I remapped and plumbed for shark for a number of reasons including switch ability and reliability. Maybe there is something amiss, I really need to find the time for a trip to mansfield. The map has been checked as I have emailed it back to shark for appraisal...

    Shark Performance S3 stage 1- 3? Any good?

    Basically no, and I'm not doubting the remap, but if you cant notice a difference I dont see the point in a remap. As I said previously when I have read reviews on here they have quoted a discernible difference, I just dont feel this

    Shark Performance S3 stage 1- 3? Any good?

    Ive got shark stage 1 on my 2011 S3, and I have to say that I'm struggling to notice a difference. To be fair to shark they have offered to have a look, but I cant find the time for the journey down there. Dont get me wrong its fast but whats the point in remapping if there's no discernible...

    Under data protection law, anybody recording cctv footage is legally obliged to provide copies of this footage, if they are requested to do so, to anybody who may have been recorded in this surveillance. So if you state you have been recorded in these areas at this time they cannot deny you a...

    Cam Belt Broken at 102000 miles

    I though cam belts were changed on a time or distance schedule, so 80000 miles or 4 years, I may be wrong but I think they are manufactured to degrade after a certain time for eventual disposal purposes if that makes sense

    Audi Complete is it worth it?

    I went through this dilemma a few years ago. Sorry if I'm stating the obvious but put £36 a month in a savings account. Use this money to pay for all servicing etc, I think you'll have quite a few quid left in the savings account at the end. Or think of it another way, would Audi be doing it if...
