    Audi A3 2012 2.0tdi 170 EGR Replacment

    I must admit, I'd seriously consider the EGR delete, that way it can't go again... my EGR cooler just went, that was a £1500 job, thankfully I've got extended warranty. The whole EGR system is a buggers muddle.

    Remap on 170 Diesel - is it worth it?

    Sooo, are we saying the EGR delete doesn't need a physical blank just mapped out? I think Regal had said to me that's an extra cost over and above the remap itself. Should I be looking for a local REVO mapper?

    FM Reception suddenly poor?

    I remembered that 'd bought a new car charger for my dashcam, this is the culprit :) I've replaced it, but the new one still kicks out a little bit of interference, although less. I'd bought the original one because it had a hard on/off switch so I didn't need to keep plugging/unplugging - the...

    Remap on 170 Diesel - is it worth it?

    I called my insurance (Admiral) yesterday and it only adds a tenner to the premium for up to 200bhp. So all I need now is to find a decent local-ish mapper.

    Remap on 170 Diesel - is it worth it?

    Great advice thanks everyone - I'd also be really interested in tried and tested mappers who can also blank EGR and map out the DPF (but leave it in). I'm down Southampton way, so have thought about Regal Autosport, but would also be interested in any other recommendations...

    Remap on 170 Diesel - is it worth it?

    I've been thinking of a stage 1 remap for my 170 BE Quattro. but didn't want to do anything drastic like remove the DPF so I dn't get any future MOT problems. Talking to regal, they're saying that will limit the BHP increase to 190 - 200, so now I'm starting tot hink is it worth it or not for...

    EGR Valvle maintenance?

    Thanks very much for the reply mate, I already do all of those things (I don't do any short journeys in it at all) but I've never used cleaner so I might give that a go :)

    Note deadlock : see owners manual

    Mine does it every now and again or all the time I'm not sure, but it's been the same since new, I don't really know what it's trying to tell me :D

    EGR Valvle maintenance?

    As this sounds like a part that tends to go a fair bit on Audi's, is there a way to periodically clean it up to maintain it? I'm sure I've heard people talking about removing their EGR and cleaning out the carbon and refitting, or am I imagining it? Alternatively, are there any fuel additives...

    Which remap guys?

    As this is a remap discussion, is there anyone near Southampton who can do a reliable map that won't push the other components too hard (clutch etc). I'm after a bit more power but don't want to go nuts. Also I have Audi extended warranty so want to avoid any complications with that, are they...

    2011 A3 S-Line TDI-Dreaded rear wiper issue-part source?

    Mine is a 2011, I must admit I've never checked it. I might have a mooch this weekend. Is the swap easy? (I also don't get any spray out fo the rear wiper when I try it, which I haven't for months...)

    Upgrading to an S3 - Reasons for doing so.

    Interesting, I keep having a conversation with myself about getting a new car. I've looked at the S3 and really like it, although I am also tempted by the Leon Cupra 300 as I can save about £100 a month getting that. ON the other hand, my 2011 A3 170 BE is great, I've got no real problems with...
