Cheers. What did you replace yours with?

Ooh so sounds feasible then. Has anyone done this? I guess it'll affect resale value cause there's no chance of putting the old boxes back on.

I just watched a series of videos on youtube where they cut the back boxes off a 3.0 tdi (replacing the back boxes with a straight through pipe) and gained 20 bhp and 30 torques. Also it sounded great afterwards. Is this a bad idea? Will it affect the back pressure in the engine, maybe set off...

I had a similar problem, turned out to be the suspension arm (front axle left lower rear for me). Did you replace all the suspension arms?

cheers desertstorm, i'll leave it in this case. Don't want to put the wrong oil in.

Euro Car Parts have a good deal on this oil: Shell Helix Ultra Professional AF 5W-30 5Ltr I believe the type of oil (in the Shell range) recommended for the Audi 3.0tdi is the AV-L version. Question is, for non-longlife servicing, does it matter between these 2 oil types? The deal link is...

Why would you only want to remap the sports mode? A map is usually more fuel efficient so long as you don't floor it everywhere. And when you want it for a quick burst or an overtake you don't want to keep switching into sports mode. I have a bluefin on mine and it's excellent. I'm not saying...

Sounds good Rijo. My car is a B7 3.0tdi and has done 120,000 miles and I notice sometimes the gearchange isn't as smooth as I think it should be. I'm thinking of also getting this done, but is it S tronic or Multi tronic? The online price sounds good, their £199 service charge doesn't seem bad...

Yes I installed 1 on it's own a couple of years ago, with no problems

The garage just installed it, they didn't code it. And it's still going strong....!

Best practice goes out the window when you feel you have to buy 6 injectors! I replaced my single injector 2 years ago and the car is still going strong. If it was a car worth a lot of money I might agree with you, but when changing a set of injectors is half a cars value, I don't agree. I do...

Why do you need all 6 replacing? Some types of injectors cannot be cleaned. They are sealed and have to be replaced. I had an issue with 1 of my injectors. I bought a 2nd hand one off ebay, and a local garage fitted it. They didn't recode anything and it runs beautifully now. I have a B7 3.0...

Take the number off of the top of the injector, then search ebay. I bought a 2nd hand one to replace one of mine, and it's still running perfectly over a year later. A lot cheaper than buying a new one! Also, sadly, you can't easily get them repaired.

Cheers guys, 1 more Q. If I get drilled and grooved is there any risk of getting brake squeal? Should I just stick with grooved?

When getting your discs and pads replaced, is there anything else you should consider getting done at the same time? New brake fluid?

Where's the best place to buy these from?

I'm averaging 30/31 mpg over the last 10 tankfulls. I do a lot of short town journies though. On a long motorway run I can get about 40+

The remap is awesome. Transforms the car. To be honest, it's quick anyway, but with the remap, it's super quick. I asked superchips for a more aggressive map and they obliged. The first map was weak, the second much better! As for mpg no real difference, I drive it harder now so if anything...

I have a 3.0 tdi on 116,000 miles. I've replaced 1 injector so far (with a 2nd hand one). Cheap fix, reliable car. Bluefin remap too, absolutely love driving it! :)

^ as above. I use an app on my phone to work it out. The DIS is slightly over. Still happy with my MPG though, I do have a heavy right foot at times :)
