    TDI-Tuning box

    buy 2nd hand and it aint no longer a no brainer. I love how too many people have bad things to say about tuning boxs but never have had any experience of the genuine companys that sell good quality digital boxes. Remaps and tuning boxes have both caused problems on all cars. You get crap...

    TDI-Tuning box

    I bought a 2nd hand DTUK unit from flea bay last week for my S Line TDI Avant. I got it for £150. I just thought that if i thought it was crap i could sell it on but, I wont be. I love it. It has a choice of 4 maps and about 8 power settings for each map. I have mine on map 4 at 10% and it...

    VOLUME ADVICE

    I think he means the loudness setting lol. I was reading a bit in my manual a while back that you can have the system come on at a certain loudness everytime you switch the ignition on. You can adjust this but I cant find my manual just now. Maybe someone else can help.

    Audi 2.0 Tdi advice

    You should read the sticky regarding the balance shaft failure. I think it affected quite a lot of 2005 models. I was in the same position as you and did some research. I bought a 56 reg. My car has the Engine code BRE which I know are ok after loads of reading. You should search the "Balance...

    Central Locking Not Central Locking

    Its just the flappy thing that lifts out. Inside the cavity of the rear wing you will find all sorts of wires etc but what you are looking for is inside a greay foam sponge thing. Its about a third of the size orf a shoe box. Thats the central locking pump which will be making that whirring...

    Awful knocking from front of car - ideas?

    Sorry Monkey, I meant that the price they are quoting you is a rip off. Anyway, good luck with getting it sorted. I guess if you not able to attempt it yourself its just a case of phoning round. Think I have too much time on my hands thats why I opt to do these things myself :respekt:

    Central Locking Not Central Locking

    Its in the boot. Inside the left side rear wing so you need to take the cover off. The unit is inside a foam casing. Can be a bit trick to actually get out so be patient with it. If a hose has come off you can just slip it back on and hey presto. If not then Im afraid they are almost...
