    Help! I need a new engine

    thanks for all your input, I agree with all points. Having spoken with trading standards this morning, and then spoken to audi uk again, this time about the sale & supply of goods act, I've decided that i'm not prepared to let this go. I'll pay the independent what I owe them so far including...

    Help! I need a new engine

    Yeah, sorry. I'm still in shock. It's a 2.0 TDI (DPF) 170, car first registered on Jan 2007, done 80,000 miles, and according to the independent garage it's with at the moment (that specialises in VAG) the engine is damaged beyond repair due to damaged manifold flaps being sucked into the...

    Help! I need a new engine

    Hi all, just after some advice... My car starting playing up on Friday last week, to cut a long story short, today I've found out after having the engine stripped, that part of the manifold has disintegrated, been sucked into the engine, and now the engine is damaged beyond repair. So I'm...

    Diesel to petrol, regret?

    Thanks very much for you input/advice/opinions. I'm defintely still leaning towards going back to petrol, specifically the 2.0TFSI when I change to an A4. I'll keep you posted on my progress and then hopefully how I feel about the decision once I've done it. Next step is the test drive, but...

    Diesel to petrol, regret?

    Hi all, I'm currently driving an A3(8P) 2.0TDI 170 and planning to upgrade to an A4 fairly soon. Admittedly I've not test driven a petrol one yet but I'm seriously considering the 2.0TFSI as the performance and MPG on paper look attractive. Has anyone here gone from a diesel audi to a petrol...

    Break light question

    Hi all. My left brake has stopped working, rather than pay someone to fix it, in the interest of the credit crunch I've bought the correct bulb (35p) from euro car parts, and going to fix it myself. Is this an easy job? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

    chipped-uk ST-3 group buy

    has anyone here used the ST-3 on a 170 DPF? a potential price of £299 all in makes this a very attractive option. I'm sure we could get another 10 buyers together.

    Eibach Pro

    all seems positive re the sportline springs. I guess I'll start with the sportline springs with s-line shocks and if I like the drop but find the ride a bit harsh (the roads where I live aren't great) I could upgrade the shocks at a later stage finances permitting.

    Eibach Pro

    What's the ride quality like on the eibach sportlines? I've got an s-line I'm thinking of lowering and having read this - £130 seems a lot for 10mm drop with the eibach pro's. Hello all btw, been lurking for a couple of months since experiencing a friends' 320d remapped :idea: , want my 2.0tdi...
