    A4 2.0 TDI performance/fuel consumption issue

    Thanks for the input. I had my A3 2.0 TDI remapped, and it was definitely better on fuel than the stock tune. I think I could get 500 miles if I run the tank to near empty and drove carefully. This cars fuel consumption just seems way off my other 2.0 tdi cars? It's more in line with my...

    A4 2.0 TDI performance/fuel consumption issue

    It's got 6k until it's next service showing on the dispaly, perhaps I should think about booking it in early.

    A4 2.0 TDI performance/fuel consumption issue

    I have an issue with the fuel consumption & running on my A4 S Line avant 2.0 TDI 140. It seems to only be able to return 34mpg. I am not heavy footed I would say 60% of my driving is town/city driving. The rest is short trips up the motorway/dual carriageway. I have previously owned a 2.0...

    Goodbye Audi, I'm defecting to BMW!!

    Thanks. Yes, was very tempted by D3, but there was no discount available and was out of my price range. The dealer was quite willing negotiate with the M sport and felt I struck a deal. Hopefully with the DMS remap should give it similar performance. The only thing I don’t really like with...

    Goodbye Audi, I'm defecting to BMW!!

    Hi Guys, Just thought I'd post a message as I sold my A3 2.0tdi sport (superchiped). I have had great pleasure out of my A3 for the last 2 years. It ran perfectly and never let me down. It will be missed, it's a cracking car. One of the main reasons for leaving Audi is I have found the...

    Remapping 2.0TDi 140

    Hi there, I have used superchips with my 2.0 TDI 140, this was a standard remap done at superchips HQ in Buckingham (not bluefin as it wasn't available when I did mine). Cost me £450, but it could cost more now. My power and torque outputs after the remap were 186bhp and 300ft/lb. It...

    Quick question

    Hi , I have an ipod link in my A3, and fitted it myself, was quite straight forward. I've got the docking lead in my glove box. I think it is the easier and cheaper root to go. Go for the Dension adapter as it allows you to control the ipod while its connected to the cable, the audi...

    TDi 170 vs TDi 140 remapped

    Bowfer - I hope your right, it's just I've been using the What Car Depreciation Index for reference and it scares me.

    TDi 170 vs TDi 140 remapped

    That price includes: - metallic paint and 18" wheel upgrade. The M sport spec includes half leather, cruise, armrest, reverse sensors, interior light pack, ipod connectivity, DIS, etc.. I am tempted by the BMW, but am worried about residuals. I really like Audi’s and have been happy with...

    TDi 170 vs TDi 140 remapped

    I was quoted £24.5k on the road, at the spec i want for the BMW quite a good saving i thought. My Audi dealer wouldn't even negotatiate on the 170. Found some brokers offering up to £2.5k off, but will still will cost £22k. My car was done by superchips - Rolling roaded @ 186bhp - 300ft/lbs...

    TDi 170 vs TDi 140 remapped

    I am changing my car in the new year so thought I would test drive an A3 2.0 TDI 170 S Line to see if it is much better than my A3 2.0 TDI 140 (remapped) sport. The tdi 170 I tested was an 06 plate with 3.5k on the clock. My initial thought of the 170 was that the engine sounded much the...

    Bluefin/ Superchips

    I cannot comment on your personnel experience of remapping and fuel economy, but the principle behind it is to make the engine run more efficiently, as all standard ECU tunes have to meet many regulations e.g. Emissions, noise levels, fuel economy at 56mph therefore the standard tunes are...

    Bluefin/ Superchips

    I had the remap done at superchips HQ they loaded it on via their interface, mine is not the bluefin but a fixed remap. I've had my car serviced with my Audi dealer and they haven't said or noticed a thing and are happy to deal with me. The only way they could tell any difference is if...

    Bluefin/ Superchips

    Sorry, I meant the emailed me the pdf of the power curves as I'd enquired about it. God I'd love it if they could do that with tunes. But saying that. when had mine done the tune was emailed from superchips head office to a laptop and downloaded to my car via a interface.

    Bluefin/ Superchips

    Hi, I've had my A3 2.0tdi 140 remapped by superchips (186bhp - 301ft/lb) and running for 18 months now with no problems what so ever. Performance is transformed enough to really scare golf gti's, and MPG is improved over standard tune, no regrets!! I have used AMD in the past with the...

    A3 2.0 TDI Superchip!!! Got it but not 100% happy.

    I've just got back from superchips HQ. They tested my car on the RR right away and It turns out that my car was not standard tune, it was actually 163bhp. They then reverted it back to standard tune and RR tested it which got it back to 156bhp, they said was good news as it showed the car had...

    A3 2.0 TDI Superchip!!! Got it but not 100% happy.

    Thanks for your feedback, I have got my car booked in for a rolling road session on friday afternoon. The tuner is also a superchips agent, he says that if all is not as it should be he will be happy to contact superchips HQ on my behalf to sort it out. Unfortuantely he does not have the jig...

    A3 2.0 TDI Superchip!!! Got it but not 100% happy.

    Hi, I got my A3 2.0 TDI 2004 superchipped on the weekend. I didn't have it rolling road tested as the dealer I used didn't have the facility. I have had other cars remapped in the past and been very impressed but with this car I didn't think it lived up to my expectations. My first...

    New Wheels, don't fit, HELP!!

    I've just received my new 18" RS6 replica wheels for my 2004 A3 tdi sport, from johnsons Tyres, wrexham. When I fitted them the offset must have been incorrect because they were sticking out about an inch more then my original 17" star Audi alloys did. They were out past the wheel arch on the...
