Thanks first of all for making the effort of reading my thread! I've not had any luck with my A4 B7 2.0 TDI 140bhp since I've had it, and i have spent hours on here looking through various posts getting ideas but not finding the answers i am looking for. I have hardly any boost if any at all...

Help/Advice needed! Based on the picture i have attached would you say the DPF has been opened and striped, or does a standard DPF usually look like this??? I am down on power and unsure if the DPF or EGR have been deleted, I'm due to get the car remapped within the next couple of weeks and...

Hi all, I need to get my car scanned for faults and also check the perimeters on the injectors before i get my car re-mapped, so is there any members in the Norfolk area that will charge reasonable rates? I will obviously come to you. I know the car is not running 100%, but when i had it...

Hi guys, after owning a number of Audi's over the years I switched to VW for a couple of years. I have now returned to Audi with a 2008 A4 2.0 TDI S-Line cabriolet. I have never owned an A4 so my knowledge is very limited so looking for some pointers, first of all is mine a B7 chasis? Is...

Hi all! I recently had issues when starting my 2004 A3 2.0 TDI 16V, but once started runs fine without any messages on the dash. At first I put the starting problem down to the fact i knew the DMF needs replacing! But I ran a diagnostic check today due to another un-related problem and got a...

The problem I have is with my 04 plate A3 2.0 TDI SE I've been having issues with my key fob falling apart ever since I have owned the car, so I bought a fob from ebay last week. I transferred the internals over and all was good until I tried to remove the immobiliser chip! It was well and...

I have spent the last couple of hours searching the forum for similar issues to mine but most seem to go off topic or have no result. I have returned to Audi after owning a VW Golf for the last 2 years, and i'm starting to regret it grrrr. I bought a 2004 A3 TDI SE 2.0 16v 8P1, no idea of the...

I have just purchased the DIESEL PLUS aditive, and need confirmation on the correct use, as the instructions provided are not that precise. It states full bottle treats 80 litres of fuel! Does this mean i need to measure the correct amount, to match the amount of fuel i have in my tank? Or can...

The service light is on, on my A3 54 plate TDI sport and i would like to know if it is possible to turn it off without vag? I would normally take it into the garage, but i am now servicing the car myself.

I would like to fit an audi sat nav system in my 54 plate A3 TDI, is this possible if it was't factory fitted? I currently have a standard CD player fitted with climate control below, and the cup holder, hazard and ESP button above, so does this mean the buttons have to be relocated? What do...

Hi all, i know this has been discussed numeurous times, but for some reason today i keep getting soory nothing found when using the search function. I own a 54 plate A3 2.0L TDI 140 sport, with 120k on the clock. It recommends using 5w30 or 504vw - 507vw oil. I can get 5w40 for the same price...

Anyone tried this? VAG COM Car Diagnostic Scanner Fault Code reader on eBay (end time 22-Apr-11 13:18:37 BST) Looks worth buying? What do you think?

I recently purchased an A3 2.0L TDI 140 Sport. On purchase the car i could honestly say sounded and drove perfectly. As weeks have gone by an unusual whistling noise can be heard, but it goes when you rev the car. If you leave it ticking over it is that loud its irritating. Also when you rev...

Hi all, i need to fit a set of glow plugs in my A3 2.0L TDI Sport. Is this an easy enough job to do? And how long should it take. I cannot find any links to manuals, so relying on advice until my workshop turns up..

I have a 54 plate Audi A3 TDI sport, and the only thing i do not like about the car is the front grill!! I have bought a bumper and grill from a 55 plate Audi A3 TDI Sport, but after reading a few threads i am unsure if this will fit without the bonnet as well. Can anyone confirm if this...

Anyone know how to get the rear seat out of an A3 TDI ? I've got a whistling noise which is coming from the top of the tank, and i am assuming there is an access panel under the rear seat, like in my 8L. So i can identify the fault. Anyone got any links for a workshop manual? This would...

Do A3 2.0 Turbo Diesels have a Diverter Valve? I ask because i can hear what i think is chatter when letting the throttle off. I had this exact noice on my S3 and replacing the DV solved the problem. This is the first diesel i have ever worked on, or owned so unsure. The car feels fine...

I recently sold my S3 as i could no longer afford to run her. And purchased an A3 TDI [140] Sport. Its a very nice solid car, but i am looking at changing the front bumper, as i prefer the long grill. Will any A3 bumper fit? Or is there a few shape changers? A link to one would...
