    Unfortunately I appear to have one of the affected 2.0TFSI engines in a 2009 Audi A5 convertible. I contacted my local Audi dealer ( Robinsons of Norwich ) to report my cars problem and they offered me a oil consumption test, cost covered by themselves, after I had mentioned watching the BBC...

    2.0TFSI rich petrol smell

    Ever since I bought my A5 2.0TFSI on an 09 plate I've noticed it smells quite rich of petrol when driven hard. This is particularly noticeable when the roof is down... Not noticeable when cruising but when you accelerate hard it can really be smelt. It's now done 47,000 miles, I bought it last...

    Diesel Tuning Box - Issues

    Diesel Tuning Box - Issues

    Mine is a 2006 2.0 TDI Quattro, I ordered the box online suitable for the 2003-2007 (IIRC) 138bhp 140PD via the car specification finder on there. As far as I'm aware though mine should be common rail? Would be great to have some additional knowledge tomorrow if you're available?

    Diesel Tuning Box - Issues

    We found the injector plug an absolute nightmare to line up, if we got it lined up it then wouldn't tighten up. I'll strip it all down again tomorrow and try get a better view to check all the pins before re-attempting. The factory plug slotted on no issue at all and tightened up fine.

    Diesel Tuning Box - Issues

    Thanks for that Sandra, I have sent a member a message from the Norwich area. Hoping this hasn't just cost me an ECU and a whole lot of hassle as well as the costs of it being looked at. Unable to contact TDI Tuning until Tuesday now.

    PDd Diesel Tuning Box - Audi A3 2.0 TDI PD 138 Bhp / 140 PS / 103 Kw I was using the above box. It turned the engine over ok but it never fired up, so being short on time I took it all back out and put the standard connection back in. The car is now completely knackered, makes an awful noise...

    Diesel Tuning Box - Issues

    I can't even move the car now, it won't fire up at all :( I don't get how removing one part and re-fitting it can throw up such an issue. Just tried taking it apart again, re-fitting it and re setting the ECU. Still nothing, it's flashing up ESP Fault, now though.

    Diesel Tuning Box - Issues

    Recieved a Diesel tuning box today for my Audi A3 2.0TDI 140. Followed the instructions on fitment and found the car wouldn't start, it would turn over but not fire. Tried all the connections again, left ignition on for 1 minute and tried again, still not fire. In the end we had to take the...

    A3 2.0 TDI Running Issues

    I have a 2006 A3 2.0 TDI 140PS Quattro. For a while now it has been running lumpy and the car has been bouncing up and down when sat at traffic lights on idle. It had the Dual Mass flywheel and clutch replaced in February which made it run marginally smoother and took away the obvious noise from...

    HID-Xenon Ballast

    The left often flashes and flickers until it goes out....and sometimes the right will do. They have been doing it for the past 18 months but getting worse. They would never both go out, until last week! When they did, a little bit scary! If you turn the lights off then on again then they will...

    HID-Xenon Ballast

    The ballast appears to have gone in both sides of my 2006 2.0TDI A3. It's the S-Line with auto adjust. I'm needing to know exactly what type of bulbs these take? I simply can't afford the main dealer prices so I'm trying to locate either ballast online such as ebay or complete aftermarket kits...
