    Audi a4 B5 2.5tdi Starting Issue

    Guys My car is having trouble starting in the mornings when it has been left for 4 hours or more, it starts up with a load of un burnt fuel (you can smell it), fine when hot. I have done a few tests. First test was to check the battery voltage first thing in the morning which was at 12.6v even...

    Had my 2.5 tdi remapped, wow what a diffrence.

    I have been looking to get my car remapped for a long time and yesterday i did just that. The low end torque has increaded nicely, but when you get to 2.5k the power really starts to pick up, once you hit 3k the torque and acceleration is amazing. It just does not feel like a diesel anymore...

    How to make interior lights stay on longer?

    Right i have just double checked my car when the doors are open the lights still dimm out but the boot will stay on as long as boot is open. The Adaptations would be great if i had VAG-COM, thanks. Think i really need to get the software downloaded.

    4 Wheel Alignment + Camber

    Thanks for the comments. Well that seems like that has cleared that up. I will see if my local can get a camber gauage on my car and see if he can loosen the subframe to make the camber equal on both sides like aragorn said, then take it to get 4 wheel alignment done. That seems thats the only...

    4 Wheel Alignment + Camber

    Hi I seem to be struggling to find someone in the south who is able to do 4 wheel alignment and adjust the camber. I have done some reasearch and i am aware that the lower subframe has to be moved to line up the front wheels again. The car has been lowered on coilovers, but not silly low...

    2.5tdi starting issue

    That sounds like a good idea, because first thing in the morning starting it sounds like it struggles on the first key turn, then on the second key turn it sound much more alive, i will fully charge the battery later. When the water temp is around the 60c mark it always fires up first time not...

    2.5tdi starting issue

    Replaced the sensor, it starts a little better, but when it is hot takes 4-6 tries to get it started so i think my best bet is to bite the bullet and put it into a garage, to get the issue sorted, hopefully they will be able to check the fuel pump timing as they are a diesel specalist and they...
