I've got a 170bhp (220bhp now) tdi quattro and have drove an S3 as my friend has one and they are completely different animals. The S3 is a lot smoother delivery with more grunt up top where as my once was 170 just seems to have lots of low down grunt, both are quick cars but the S3 is better. I...
I agree i'd take it back and get him to do it again, it may need a little tinkering to get it right but it depends on if they know what they are doing or just loading a std map.
I see you're local, a couple of my friends have GT car cosmetics in Sunderland and do top quality work and mainly smaller stuff like this and pant less dent removal etc.
Google the name and ask for Tony if you ring,just say Dixon told you about them.
I've just part fitted a detachable Westfalia to my Quattro TDI, the bar is on but i'm waiting on the bottom half of the bumper for an S-Line which has a hatch, not sure if you can get these for the S3 though but try the local dealer and check. The bar below shows no exclusions so must fit an S3...
if you have a smart phone (android/iPhone) just download the My Car Check app, the free bit gives you the info you require by just typing the reg number in.
Thats what i used when looking for a 170 Quattro to make sure i wasn't wasting my time traveling to view them.
A friend with a Skoda VRS 170PD engine had the recall and within a couple of months had the same issue as i have had too.
He had his DPF removed by Shark and i did mine myself and had BFT up here in the north east remove the software and the difference is immense.
Even if Audi agree a discounted...
I've spoken to an MOT tester mate and the visual check is if the DPF is completely removed, i removed mine cut it open then gutted it carefully and welded it back up. it took quite a few hours as its a Quattro but is well worth it and it only cost an extra £50 on top of my custom map cost to...
Hi
I've been waiting for mine to get the injectors done which I did last week and then I'm off to big fish to get the map along with a mate who has a VRS Octavia.
If you have an iPhone or smart phone get the My Car Check app it tells you all about it including bhp.
Big Fish tuning is in...
Does anyone run one of these with a 6th gen iPod nano for the glove compartment dock and if so does it work.
I had the recall on my gen 1 and rec'd the 6th gen replacement but it does not charge and the info from the sellers only state 4th gen.
Thanks
Dixon
Mine went in this morning at 9am and i got a call at 12.30 saying it was done and getting a wash, i picked it up at 1.15 this afternoon and just as i'd got home the Audi UK case manager called to check it was all ok.
From Start to finish it's been a quality service from both Audi UK and Wearside...
I've only had mine since october but l love it, i get decent economy to an extent along with good looks and a bit of power.
Its getting the injectors done tomorrow and then its off for a little bit of fettling at big fish here up north in a few weeks.
The minus points imo as I came over from BMW...
