    LPG on 2.7 biT near Oxford

    Hello, Having resisted the idea for a long long time, I would like to know for sure, how to LPG convert my 2.7T (Allroad 2000) and which brand kit is recommended for this engine. I've seen LPG'd 2.7's on Autotrader from time to time - so what's wrong with them ? An Audi Specialist I use for...

    ALLROAD 2.5 TDI MPG HOW MANY DO YOU GET!

    Yes, They're not very good really are they! Maybe we should have got the 2.7 bi-T for less money. Probably would take years to make up the difference on fuel. Has anyone a 2.7T or 4.2 V8 Allroad ? What MPG do you get? Adam

    2.5V6 TDI Diesel timing check using Vagcom

    Hi, I have some performance issues with my 2001 2.5TDI Allroad - (massive engine shudder under heavy load / revs relieved by slipping clutch and 5 second idle) that has caused me to check the Diesel timing. I'm using the TDI timing check build into Vagcom (my release 704) and monitoring group 4...

    ALLROAD 2.5 TDI MPG HOW MANY DO YOU GET!

    28-38 depending.. getting it up to 40 is almost impossible. best performance when oil has warmer up properly. We got 19MPG towing a 1700 KG caravan this summer through france. was faultless though. (vanilla car, not remapped) Adam

    Xenon adjustment for france

    Well you'd think so... the manual says that adjustment should be made by main dealer due to high voltages, but the dealer says adjustment isn't necessary. They're so bright I don't want to upset oncomming lorry drivers late at night on the way down. thanks Adam

    Burning the vegetables!

    Hi, I've just read this thread with interest. The barmy weather we've had this April has pushed me into finding some local Biofuel, which I'm just starting to use now. ('01 2.5 TDI) I'm impressed with your decision to try out SVO, and most of all the "if it breaks I'll fix it" attitude, rather...

    Resetting The low oil warning light.

    No I didn't, but nobody could be THAT unlucky surely. Why don't you look at a trade in while you're over at Audi? cheers

    Resetting The low oil warning light.

    The sensor's on the bottom of the sump. You need to drain off the engine oil to change, it might be worth checking the wiring first Adam

    Allroad 2.5 TDI intermittent power delivery... (sometimes)

    Interestingly enough the Turbo isn't an exchange part, so I've got the old one in the garage waiting to be taken apart when I have some time. The Turbo was Very expensive, at about £900 for the part alone. This is the problem with running 6 year old cars that are still worth more that £10k! Adam

    Acceleration Test Please

    Hi, I think you need to look at a few things next. 1. make sure the pipes are all OK and that they're connected the right way round with sensors not upsidedown or something crazy like that 2. find out whether the car ECU is receiving the right inforation from the sensors 3. find out whether...

    Acceleration Test Please

    Hi, It does sound slow, but I read elsewhere that it's fast at higher RPM ? At what RPM/Speed in the acceleration test does the Turbo kick in? 1500 on mine. Is your car 180 PS or the 163 PS, mine is an older 180 by the way, so you know if your comparing like for like. The Turbo output is...

    Allroad 2002 2.5tdi V6 No power below 2200rpm

    Hi Biggles, I have seen your other posts. I had the exact opposite symptoms to you, where my 2.5 TDI Allroad was very very quick, with (confirmed by AMD) no remap software. On my car the turbo was over-boosting all the time and this caused other problems, where the ECU kept cutting all power in...
