It's a 2.0tdi 143

Hi all. Thought I'd ask for some advice before I comletey empty my wallet! Yesterday I noticed my clutch started slipping in 4-6 gear under load from a steady speed. 1-3 is completely fine. Foot to the floor and it pulls fine. If I've got a decent pace and put my foot down I 4-6 it doesn't slip...

Hi all. I'm looking at putting an aftermarket amplifier and sub in my boot. Has anyone here already done this in the a4 b8? I want to keep the standard concert head unit. Think I'd have to anyway due to it being the controls for most other bits on the computer. Am I right in thinking the battery...

Has any of you guys fitted a dump valve/blow off valve to a tdi? I seen on another post that someone had fitted one meant for another vehicle. But I can't find the post now! Can't seem to find any for sale for my car (a4 b8 2.0tdi). I know there's a fair few technical minded people on here that...

I'll give that a go tomorrow! :) cheers!

Is it not? To be honest I only considered as a mate has got a carbonio one on his a3 and it sounds ace. Only place I've seen it tho is awesome and it's best part of £450!

Has anyone upgraded the air intake on a 2.0tdi a4? If so, what did you go for, and where from? Everything I've seen is going to dent the bank account ridiculously!

Eml is on, car seems to have a sort of miss fire first thing in morning for a few miles then runs fine all day. Code reader is saying throttle actuator control module performance. Does anyone know what this is? I'm thinking somethin to do with throttle body? audi a4 1.9tdi 2006

Where is that module located for the glow plugs? I have replaced the plugs themselves and a relay which was located under the ecu. I've checked the main fuse for the plugs, it's fine. I have replaced position sensor and throttle peddle but still getting the judder on acceleration when cold. Re...

2006 b7 avant. The eml has come on...had it scanned and cleared. Same 2 issues came back. 1st is glow plug open circuit on all 4. Replaced glow plugs, and relay. Still showing codes when read and turning eml on, no idea what's goin on. Car starts fine every morning! 2nd is throttle...

It's recently had a new engine my cad as my last was high mileage. Was a local lad I know that fit it for me. Is there any chance he may have put hoses in wrong place. I.e oil hose to water system? Would the car still run if he had done that somewhere? Because it is a lot of oil. I flushed the...

Goin to find someone with a good rep and leave it with them, needs sortin. Just cleaned header tank out with power washer and flushed all coolant hoses. Now my heaters are blowing cold air! Aarrrgh!!

I've just noticed an oil leak also, from between the head and the block!

I've got an a4 b7. 1.9tdi 115. Loads of oil in he water and it doesn't like starting first thing in morn. Once it's started and warm, runs fine, little bit rich(smell diesel) and starts first time all day. Eml has come on. Fault reading glow plug 3 and 4. Bought 4 new ones but its still the...
