Hey, I need a new turbo for my 2007 PD170 Quattro. My current one is on the verge of death and won't last much longer. I've had a ring around a couple of places and the prices seem quite high at £700-800, I've replaced turbos on other VAG cars which usually come in around £350 for a decent...

Wondering if anyone would like to share an opinion. The turbo on my B7 PD170 needs replacing, noisy on shutdown and has a fair amount of play on the shaft. It still runs perfectly however and weirdly produces no noise on boost but needs to be swapped soon. I've contacted CR Turbos - I've used...

Mine failed a few weeks ago, due to the ridiculous cost of a replacement unit I removed the internals (can be done on the A4 without cutting it open through the DPF outlet port) I then had it mapped by a local tuning company, removing the DPF and EGR functions. I'm happy with the power, smoke...

Wonder if any of you guys can confirm my thoughts on this. My A4 PD170 Quattro suddenly developed a huge lack of power, to the point it will stall just trying to pull away. Though it will idle. The DPF light is on but no errors are showing in VCDS, the last time the DPF light was on, about a...

The DMF on my A4 Quattro is starting to show initial signs of failure, I'm wondering if anyone has tackled this job at home and if so any pointers? Removing the gearbox is obviously the most straightforward way but could prove to be a real nightmare on my own due to the weight even using jacks...

I've noticed now the nights are getting darker that when I accelerate I seem to generate a large cloud of smoke. The car is a PD170 that otherwise seem to run good. The car still has it's DPF which is why I ask the question. I assume this isn't normal and something must be amiss somewhere?

Bit of a strange one, that has been annoying me for some time. When the car is started from cold I get a quite loud whistle/whine noise that last 30-60 second. I'm fairly sure it's not engine related as it doesn't change in pitch or volume with speed or RPM. Also don't think it is the...

The front joint on my propshaft has quite a lot of play in it, hopefully this is where the vibration I am getting is coming from. The problem is it doesn't look like you can buy the joints individually. Has anyone had to have one replaced? if so how and with what part? The car is a B7 Quattro...

Wondering if anyone can help with this. My car started doing this today, feels like nothing is happening until 2,500 RPM then the turbo kicks in and the car accelerates off. There is a bit of black smoke, idle is a little rougher, no fault codes or warnings showing though. With the MAF...

I fitted a Westfalia detachable towbar to my S-line Avant over the weekend, all went well with the exception of the electrics. They don't seem to drop down far enough to get the socket into it, I could probably rectify it by cutting a bit more out of the underside of the bumper but want to be...

Recently I have been getting a weird noise from the engine, mainly at low speeds or when changing gear, almost like wastegate noise I guess. I did consider it may be a sticky VNT mechansim but the car drives ok, I'm not getting the usual random power delivery or any overboost errors that I have...

Just wondering if anyone knows how complicated this is? From a coding perspective I can probably work it out. I'm guessing I need the auto mirror, rain sensor and switch at a minimum. I've a massive stone chip/crack on my screen at the moment, so it seems to logical time to do this mod. Any...

Just swapped the headliner from a B6 S4 into my B7 S-line Avant. Couldn't find one with a black headliner when I was looking to buy and the grey felt like a bit of a step down after my A3 S-line. Total nightmare of a job though, probably took me about 6 hours all in. Did intend doing a write up...

I have a 2007 PD170 Quattro that makes a whine on cold start for maybe 1/2mins then stops. The noise itself doesn't fluctuate with engine RPM, I did wonder if it could be the clutch release bearing but it doesnt change in pitch when the clutch is depressed so doubt it. I just replaced the EGR...

Is there any way to tell if the DPF functions have been disabled in VCDS. My PD170 has all the usual bits replaced, Injectors, Injector loom, EGR. Drives really well, way quicker than previous PD170's I've driven, kicks out a fair bit of smoke on hard acceleration. The DPF itself doesn't...

I know this has probably been asked about 12 million times, but I couldn't find much of a definative answer anywhere. I have a B7 Avant with the following factory fitted - Bose, MFSW, Bluetooth. Just swapped the original Symphony 2 for a RNS-E Mk2. Everything works except for the following ...

Recently i've been getting a clicking noise from the engine when the engine is cold and at idle, the noise completely goes when warmed up. The car runs well, returns good MPG (for a quattro) which has improved with a recent turbo change. On start from cold the engine gives a puff of blue smoke...

I'm having a bit of an issue with my 140 quattro. I'm in the process of swapping out the turbo (suprise, suprise) but can't seem to get the downpipe out, does anyone have any hints or am I going to need to drop the subframe?

For about a month i've had an issue with my car, I get really annoying radio interefence that comes and goes. It's a high pitched whine that changes with engine speed, indicating seems to affect the noise it makes also. I've had an issue like this before and it was a ground fault, I suspect this...
