    Audi A4 (B8) 2.0 TDI CR 1968 cc 2012 134 bhp Celtic Tuning remap = clutch slip

    So it's fixed itself after about 250 miles. Maybe there was some crud inside the housing and its burnt off now. Anyhow son is loving it, pulls like a train in all gears from tickover

    Audi A4 (B8) 2.0 TDI CR 1968 cc 2012 134 bhp Celtic Tuning remap = clutch slip

    My son has a Audi A4 (B8) 2.0 TDI CR 1968 cc 2012 134 bhp which I got Celtic to remap for his birthday present. Now at 194bhp 336lbft the clutch is slipping almost always when he puts his foot down. Partially due to the 115k miles and mostly due to the remap as it wasn't doing it before...

    2.5TDi V6 quattro Sport 180hp Turbochip

    Basically same power as a BMW 535 d. Except you have a manual box instead of the slush box. Oh and quattro to make it stick instead of the squirrelly rear end. As you say maybe the only thing missing is bigger brakes, not that they are small now. If you started selling these as a conversion...

    2.5TDi V6 quattro Sport 180hp Turbochip

    One of the reasons i went for the hybrid turbo rather than a larger one was i did not want to lose the low down pull in favour of top end power. The car is geared for a bit over 150 from memory so i just wanted to get enough top end power to get it to redline in top. You must be pushing 300hp...

    Finally dynoed the 535d Peak torque a little under the old A6 and higher up the rev range with the Celtic Tuning remap, consequently an animal on the motorway, peak power, well as they say theres no substitute for cubes

    2.5TDi V6 quattro Sport 180hp Turbochip

    Pleased to hear you fixed this. I was sometimes able to eliminate the shudder by applying a tiny bit of pressure to the accelerator pedal (it's mentioned above somewhere) but as did not have vagcom was not able to fiddle with the settings.

    The fuel tank pump is almost brand new, replaced just before you got it. Is the allroad pump bigger?

    2.5TDi V6 quattro Sport 180hp Turbochip

    I vaguely remember Celtic having real bother trying to read the VP44 programming, eventually i think they "acquired" some Bosch software from somewhere to get into it. It was either encrypted or otherwise inaccessible to start with. Faster than the Merc up to 120? Here we go again, i think you...

    This is where i got to and replaced the in tank pump thinking it was not pumping enough. We thought it was fuel starvation or air leaking into the fuel system too, hence the replaced in tank fuel pump , pipes, filters, reconditioned VP44 and spent ages looking for air leaks. Short of fixing a...

    Should i buy this 2005 1.8 TT?

    Pleasantly surprised at 39-40mpg cruising at 80 (fierce self restraint following previous Sundays ticket in the beemer, it keeps tugging to go) and also comfortable for 4-5 hours at a stretch. ****** huge boot swallowed ingredients for birthday dinner for 8 plus 3 days worth of luggage for 2...

    Should i buy this 2005 1.8 TT?

    Only problem so far has been that the plastic covers on the safety belt sockets have popped off, gone back to dealer to get it fixed. First long run coming up this weekend, quick 600mile blip to the Midlands and around.

    Should i buy this 2005 1.8 TT?

    Well we bought it anyway. Wife is very happy, loves it to bits. Been for a spin, quite fun to drive. Missing a bit of diesel style torque, perhaps a remap is in order. Lot of road noise from the Pirellis that are on it, especially on coarse surfaces. What should i replace the tyres with...

    Should i buy this 2005 1.8 TT?

    She just paid a deposit. Haggling is going to be a bit difficult now The only thing i've been told to look out for so far is perishing hoses for all the engine pressure sensors. No one is warning me to look out for exploding 1.8T engines or bits falling off the car. This will be my first petrol...

    Should i buy this 2005 1.8 TT?

    My missus has been out for a test drive in a 05 plate 2005 1.8TT (180hp) today and wants to buy it. Dark blue, unmarked inside and out, not much in terms of extras only a 6CD changer, 76000 miles. Dealer (non audi) wants £6400. I can't get home till friday to check it. Is it the right price? If...

    The problem has turned out to be failure of the crank pulley. It appears to have come adrift from the crank. Now all the belts and covers are off we can see that the pulley has tipped forward. So it looks like this has been my problem all along, as the pulley has been wobbling more and more the...

    Garage sounded optimistic today, had manually primed fuel system and she fired without clouds of white smoke. Now focussing on fuel system relays. Don't think any internal damage at the moment.
