Hi Edd. Nice to meet you the other day. Glad you are happy with the removal. Yes and no. We see a lot of issues with G450's and keep one in stock as its so common. Its very simple to check plausability of the sensor by looking the measuring value in a KOEO situation. We do fit them (and...

A very good friend of mine works at General motor company in Stockport. They are a very good VAG specialist. He's a really good guy and I dont think theres anyone who knows more about the VAG brands than Jon. They are well equiped and able to deal with anything VAG related. Link to their web...

I think you will find the reference to removing a fuse and the vehicle reverting to 2wd will only apply with Haldex equiped vehicles (A3, Golf quattro's) The system on an A4 is completely different. Auto on a rolling road is possible just a little harder to do. To be honest the 3.0 Tdi is such...

Those figures are smooth running or cylinder balance adaptions. The ECU monitors Crank shaft speed via the crank angle sensor. If it see's any variation in crank shaft speed through its cycle of all 4 cylinders firing (720 degrees/2 rotations) it will identify which cylinders are working harder...

Hi Guys. Just to let you know I have not forgotten this. I just cant think of anyone in that midlands with the equipment to do the job and a quality of service I would put my mname/recomendation to. If I come up with anything I'll let you know. Steve.

Hi Guys. Removal wise we will do whatever the customer requests. If a pipe is available we can supply and fit a removal pipe. We are actually running an offer on some performance parts in March, Some brief details can be found on our face book page and web site...

Check the fault codes and see what it says first. EGR sticking will cause DPF issues amoungst other things. By far the most common issue we see is an Implausible Particulate differential pressure sensor reading. Check the reading (I think its MVB 67 in VCDS, I dont tend to use the number system...

I'll check up on the numbers, I don’t know off the top of myhead. It does depend very much on what the customer wants. With most 170hp PD'swe find that they lack a little in low down power compared to the 140, so our most popular remap tendsto be concentrating on gaining an increase in low...

Hi, Sorry a bit slow getting back to you on this. Yes, We do mapping and DPF removal, very popular on a 170. Cheers. Steve.

Hi Mate. So hows it going? You must have done a few miles in it since the work was done. Happy with everything? Steve.

Re mapped to 231 and it still has the DPF in place? Are you sure? Is it PD or Common rail, 57(08) could be either? Tunes usually have to be quite mild with DPF still in place for a number of reasons. That seems a big increase without removal. If the tune is too much then you may be at risk of...

They are very hard to get updates out of. Many years ago before we had the facility to carry out software updates I wanted an update for a 1.6 petrol for an issue that was well documented for having a software fix. Even when I produced a TPi for the issue they would only book it in for...

Midlands, Nothing off the top of my head. Will get back to you ASAP. Steve.

Depends on the MAP. If you stick loads of fuel in you'll get smoke. Most the ones we have done have been really clean, with a careful map they can be clean. Think about a similar variant pre DPF and they all run pretty clean. Steve

I am an MOT tester and I also do a lot of DPF removals/tunes. It will be fine, Theres no requirement to physically have a DPF for MOT and, assuming the car is in good condition otherwise, is perfectly capable of passing the smoke test without the DPF in place. Most modern diesels hardly...

Best way to test is with a VAC pump (I use a Mityvac) Draw vac on the actuator then find a way of pushing/pulling the lever to see if it has reached its max (should be a reasonably solid feel if it has) and wont push further. Then release the vac and check the lever returns quickly and smothly...

Is it a cold start or hot start issue? You say you have checked the crank shaft sensor, how have you checked it? Do you hear the fuel pump prime when you get in, before you crank the engine? Does it then run again as you crank? Have you checked if the car is included in the coil pack recall...

The S3's fuel supply is border line in standard trim. If your using a generic stage 1 map it will be written for a std pump and there probably wont be a huge benefit. If your having a tailor written map, make sure (you use a decent tuner and) the tuner knows it has the pump fitted. He should...

If they are doing a discount on the MAP and you intend fitting a Milltek at some point I'd go with it. It wont necessarily give you any gain but you can take advantage of the discount. If you then go stage 2 you'll already have the CAT back and just need the sports CAT or De CAT to complete the...

Sorry guys, PD's are Pumpe duse, The later generation of 1.9 and pre common rail 2.0 TDi's with unit injectors. Software updates apply to all the VAG marques, we seem to see more Audi's with rough running complaints than the others tho, Not really sure why that should be, possibly the owners...
