    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...

    Curious fault developed at the weekend. As you drive along the interior lights slowly pulse (slowly coming on and fading off, not flashing) on and off. I have had a problem with the nearside passenger door not shutting properly for a few months. Initially it needed a bit of a slam but now a...

    SW dyno day

    I have started a thread for a 2.5TDI dyno day on the Diesel forum but so far there are only 5 of us. If you are in the SW (by South West I mean Cornwall and Devon) and are interested please could you add your name to the Diesel thread. I reckon i'll need 10+ to generate interest from a dyno shop.

As far as I can tell the BAU engine was the successor to the AKE engine, but have not found anywhere that tells me what the differences are. I am dubious about...

    The crankwheel (as Audi describe it) that drives the oil pump has stripped its teeth and there is swarf in the sump, engine not stripped further yet. Anyone heard of this happening before?
