    2012 Black Edition 2,0tdi (177) remap advise

    Had a Superchips re-map on my 170 A3 Black Edition, can very highly recommend it, they couldn't do it via Bluefin so had to get to ECU innards to complete but 2 yrs of ownership no problems whatsoever, gave it a nice kick at top end & MPG was slightly better too, win, win.

    Xenon question for anyone who has them

    If you turn the headlights off & on again quickly it may take 1 second for them to 're-ignite', mine are the same

    Xenon question for anyone who has them

    7 months ago I had Xenon headlight option for the first time. I've noticed on bumpy roads it looks as though low beam is on rubber mounts (or something is loose on both lamps). My question:, has anyone else noticed this or have I got a problem ? it's been like it from new.

    New RS3 shots...its coming!

    Spoiler or air brake showing Audi connection with Veyron ? Definately a roll cage, maybe, just maybe it will be in 4 door only with built in cage, don't forget the cage will add weight but stiffen the whole car up and just think of the bling factor when your mates climb aboard your track ready...

    First thoughts, old 170 vs new engine 170, & Bluefin

    Having covered 65,000 miles in my 'old' S-Line 170 diesel, I now have a shiny new BE 170 and have to say Audi have been doing some fine work on the newer version. The engine feels less lumpy with more linear acceleration rather than the guttless low revs before followed by a tide of torque and...

    Black Edition

    I was toying with 2.0 Petrol but emmisions are too high, had the 211hp petrol been available I would have gone that route as you can never have too many horses under the bonnet but they aren't planning to add it. So it was another Sportback 170 Diesel but this one is BE, the clincher was...

    What is around the corner?

    I've just ordered a 170 spotback Black and have also had alluminium swap, those black piano finish 'finger print magnets' are a little OTT IMHO but each to their own, I added comfort pack, int light pack, heated seats, Bluetooth and lumbar support, my 56 plate, manual, Blue S-Line Sportback will...

    23B9 Recall

    Ah, the old 23B9 Recall............I suspect it'll be something to do with the problem some of us had around that time with the 'transit' noise when it was regenerating the DPF every 3 minutes

    Fog light bulb (front) removal help

    Hi guys, 3 weeks ago went through VERY deep water, did a first class impression of the Ark Royal followed by clutch slip and a fog light full of water (won't try that again). I'm going to remove the bulb and stick a 500w halogen work light in front of it to warm it through after draining water...

    Got a shock today at dealer

    PD150 Golf chipped to 186, absolutely fantastic fun until the white smoke appeared in the rear view mirror, chip removed (luckily a cheap inline type box), driven to dealer carefully and a replacement turbo plus cat lwas fitted under warranty. With hindsight it was chipped too early with only...

    Traffic cops

    Crack Cocain sprung to mind whilst I was watching it, I also have heard on the grapevine that the one woman has since stabbed someone and then a few days later jumped off a motorway bridge in front of an artic and is no more ! Personally I think the political/legal angle needs to be addressed...

    Got grip??

    If you want extreme grip try Khumo.....yes, honest, Khumo 700's they come in hard, med, soft & super soft, soft are adequate and are used extensively in hillclimb/sprinting. I ran them for a few years on a 285BHP rear wheel drive car & with only 205's they gave ample grip even in the wet but...
