I'm not mad keen on getting the DPF removed, its excess cost I could do without. I was planning on getting Shark to remove/blank off the EGR as part of a re-map so it could be coded out that way.
So, will my DPF suffer if I just blank off the EGR?
Hi Chaps,
This is just a quick one, can i remove/blank off my EGR valve without having any detremental effect on my DPF?
I was thinking if the spent gasses were "all" going out through the exhaust the DPF this would be abnormal and could cause issues further down the line...... Thoughts...
That's a start, thanks fella.
I've found HEL extremely difficult to deal with and their customer service is more geared to sales, hence my asking questions here!
Has anyone else fitted braided lines to a pre facelift a3?
Brake lines for my late pre facelift A3 seem almost impossible to find. I've got a A3 S-line tdi 170 sportback with 312mm front discs and 255mm rears
I'm looking for braided items but no companies seem to list them
Can anyone let me know if they have succeeded with getting some for this model...
A quick thread hijack but while looking at braided lines for my A3 2008 pre facelift 170 s-line there seems to be no definitive brake line available to buy.....
The HEL items are numerous but none that I can see will match my car. I've narrowed down the disc sizes 312mm fronts and 255mm rears...
By different shaped castings, do you mean the lower part (the main body of the mirror) or upper colour coded cap?
I have been offered a mirror from a 3dr S-Line 2007 which has the same functionality as mine (heated and electric moving mirror glass, non-folding) but as its located at the other...
Hi All,
Just a little advice sought on this topic after a idiot knocked my drivers side mirror
Are the 8PA and 8P1 wing mirrors identical on pre facelift cars?
TIA - Paul
Hi Chaps,
I've got a knock coming from the rear drivers side of the car and i suspect either the ARB bush has worn or the drop links are shot. As previous experience has taught me, doing all of the drop links and ARB bushes in one hit is best. but..... what diameter fron and rear ARB do I have...
Hi Chaps,
I'm getting conflicting info from different suppliers regarding what diameter front and rear discs are on my A3.
Suppliers are saying 280mm, 288mm, 345mm for the fronts and for the rears the options are generally 255mm, 260mm, 310mm
Not one of the suppliers will commit to...
Hello chaps,
I'm sure this has been done to death, but my question relates to a remap & a DSG remap combined together.
Over on Briskoda, it appears that Shark Performance are the go to guys for PD170 remaps and possible DPF removal. That seems to be a no brainer, however I want to know if...
Right then, an update
1: Car has bluetooth and it works, all sorted and no need for the cradle, waste of £100 unless you want to charge the phone constantly.
2: Not resolved, still struggling to find a cradle for a iPod Nano 3rd Gen
3: Works too.
Thanks for the help so far people!
Not 100% sure, I seem to recall its a symphony 2. It has a 6 disc multi-changer and I assume thats in the head-unit itself as I have not seen a remote disc changer in the car
Hello All,
I have just bought my better half an A3 Sportback 2008 (Pre-facelift) that has a number of feratures which i would like to use, but due to lack of a handbook and a few items of hardware i'm a little stuck, can anyone help?
First: The car is equiped with the GSM phone cradle in...
ok its a 210 model - but a facelift one.
asked the dealer some questions earlier and he is being really cagey.
not going to bother with this one, but its set the standard for the rest.
If looking at a 225 facelift car, where will I find the engine code that states BAM to confirm 225
Is this code the beginning of the engine serial number? if so how many digits and letters followin the code?
TIA
Paul
