Hi, I have had a leak into the boot of my avant for the past couple of months, the water sems to run down the rear sides of the boot and then tracks across and runs down dead centre on the rear of the car under a black stuck on rubber protector. Any ideas of common issues other than lights...

I hope it is nothing to do with my turbo :3sadwalk:

Over the past week I have noticed what I would describe as a low grumbling noise at very low revs under acceleration, this does seem to go as the car warms up and doesn't happen every time. Any ideas what the noise may be?, it is only a recent thing I didn't notice at all through the winter...

Hi, I have cruise control fitted that does not work and I work in Taunton and also need a vcds scan to see what issues it brings up, can you let me know if you find someone in Taunton who can scan. Thanks

The trip computer is definately wrong since remap, I worked the mpg out myself. It seems accurate when your foots on the gas but it climbs to quickly when your just pottering along in traffic.

Quick update getting 32 mpg which is pretty good as the novelty factor is is full flow so lots of right foot down, very quick from low down revs, about 1500 and keeps going until just before the red line. Also great for motorway driving as 6th gear pulls well for overtaking. So i'm impressed so...

Seem to be getting clouds of White smoke this morning when I put my foot down, should I be worried about anything at this point?

From what I've read I don't think my car has a DPF fitted as it's a 2006 model this only seems to be on 2007 onwards models, if that is the case does anyone know what the picture of an exhaust on my display means. I can't find it in the manual, a picture for every other error except this one...

Hi, I jumped in the car today and a picture of an exhaust came up as an error on my dis, is this a DPF error?, the next 2 times i jumped in it did not show. I have just had the car remapped so not sure if it's related to this or just a coincidence. Thanks

Hi, Just had a stage 1 remap on my 2.7 tdi and was wondering if there was anything I need to keep an eye on in this engine, guessing as it's based on the 3.0 v6 from what I've read I guess it should be ok stock with this remap but want to be sure as it's the main family car and if something...

Any idea if anything else is prone to go on these engines when you start to add a bit more power??

I got the St3 box from fr-rtuning, came with 2 maps for £315. Always thought the mpg on the display was out anyway, on the low side as I could only get 40mpg on a 90 mile motorway run at 80mph with no right foot action. I'll test it next time I fill up, somewhere in the middle of both figures...

Got the maps back for the unit today, loaded the fast road map onto the car and popped out for a quick 40 mile trip and all I can say is wow. Pulls and pulls now and rockets away from stand still. Now goes like I hoped it would when I bought it.. Any idea how maps effect the mpg on the dis?, I...

On the site it just says torque +100 so assumed it was lbs, new to all this..

Hi, Iv'e just ordered an St3 box from fr-rtuning for my 2.7tdi avant and the stated gain is + 40 bhp and + 100 lbs torque, I was wondering what this will equate too driving experience wise. Should I be expecting a massive difference in acceleration, speed or just a better delivery of power...
