Has anyone had any experience with RICA engineering tuning software? Seem very popular and creeping into the VAG market.

Firstly - has anyone heard of RICA engineering software. Seems very popular with Volvo, Ford and Mazda, but they also do all the VAG cars and many others. Secondly - can you change tyres for a slightly wider width and if so by how much so as not too have an adverse affect? Still using the...

What is so bad about this is that Ebay do not want to know. Akoyamike bought my A4 on Ebay and as he says the car was re-advertised using my ad 3 times. I emailed Ebay and they were not really interested. They suggested I send a 'friendly email' to the seller. Yeah right!! But my experience of...

Car now sold

I don't think this is trading post one. I am in the process of selling (or trading in if it doesn't sell) my Audi A4. I was wondering if anyone wanted to do a deal for my Milltek exhaust and sports cat. I also have a phatnoise which is coming out of the car if this interests anyone. The...

Well this gets more interesting. My misses has a 1.8t (163bhp model)cabriolet and i listened to the engine running on that and heard what sounded the same noise. Took the rectangular hose section off the airbox and it is exactly the same noise. This is either a common normal sound or we are very...

Bub According to the Milltek brochure the parts used are different. Cat is different, downpipes and part of the centre section. I was studying this recently as I have been debating a DTM and getting it modified, of course!

Another thought is could this be noise from the turbo? I have heard of 'turbo-chatter' on some cars and also noisy bearings on the turbo requiring a replacement.

I recently started to hear a strange sound like a 'chattering/rattling' sound from under the engine. I traced the noise to the airbox initially when I removed the top rectangular intake section. Having removed the filter and taken off the intake hose leading to the turbo the sound seems to be...

I have managed to trace the noise to the airbox. Its like a chattering sound which having taken the airbox apart it seems to be coming fromt the intake which leads to the turbo. I really cannot understand what it is. Audi have no idea either. They said it may be an airbox flap chattering but I...

Noise is a little bit deeper but the performance was a significant difference. IMO it is not worth doing just a cat back exhaust. The sports cat is worth every penny.

If you can store them o.k then for sure. Although the new exhaust will only fit B6.

I have been under the car looking at my milltek exhaust as I heard a slight blowing noise. Sure enough I saw water trickling out of two of the joints in the centre section. I then heard a very strange knocking/rattling sound - almost like the sports cat was making a noise. Then I thought...

thanks for the replies guys. The tyre has now been sent back to Goodyear and I am awaiting some good news hopefully. I cannot see how they can deny it is a fault.

I am a very big fan of GSD3's and have been running them on my A4 for around 17,000 miles. I had to change one of the back ones and up due to damage. On monday of this week I noticed that the smooth part of the tyre between the rim protector and the actual alloy was splitting in several...

Car is back at the repair place now. Due to get it back on Wednesday. Just hope it is done correctly this time.

Minimal to be honest.

Had a problem with my Milltek exhaust which has been on the car for nearly two years. There is a right angle tubular bracket which comes off at 90 degrees from the centre pipes and meets in the middle of the car. This is then bolted together. The bracket snapped on the bend recently for no...

Just put one of these on the car (after eventually getting the OEM one out!) and its a definate improvement. Also hoovered out the air box which had all sorts in it. Providing it doesn't hurt the MAF then I would certainly recommend it as a cheap enhancement. Cost £35.00 and probably won't need...

Sorted it - part of the small pipe has to come apart. No other way of doing it. Even then it was tight. Pig of a job on this car. Won't be doing that again.
