So I've just got my car back this week from Norwich audi after they agreed albeit Audi uk agreed to carry out the piston and conrod replacement with a 20% cost by myself (£800). They also carried out a major service within what I paid and also replaced a faulty water pump. Overall I'm pleased as...
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...
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...
Hi there,
I have a 2009 A5 2.0TFSI cabrio with around 43,000 miles.
I've noticed when I have the windows or roof down there is a really noticeable and strange turbo spooling noise when in a high gear and low revs until the power kicks in at mid revs then the noise goes.... It pulls fine and...
Thanks to the guys at TDI Tuning who invited me to their base today and did a full diagnostic run on my car and discovering that unaware to me, my car was already running a non standard map. This then meant to plug and play box wasn't able to communicate with the ECU like it would on a standard...
A little update, thanks to SBailey1988 and a laptop I now have a car back! Flagged up a load of error codes, cylinder 2, misfire, injectors the whole lot it seemed... As well as some other funky ECU things! 1x located broken plastic pin and a re-set and the problem was solved.
Thanks for all...
It plugs in down the right hand side of the engine as you look at it, on the side wall of the block. I don't remember seeing a fuel rail to be honest.
I'm at Riverside near Carrow Road Football ground, i'll PM you my mobile number and address,
Thanks
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?
I had this on my 53 plate and now my 06. All once they went above 100,000 miles. I had mine in a garage this morning for a service and he checked it over, found some movement in a suspension joint at the front...the noise had got less since.
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.
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.
Hi Toby,
I hope you don't mind me contacting you. Sandra on here has pointed me in your direction as you're in the Norwich area with a VCDS diagnostic system??
I've had some major issue fitting a Diesel UK tuning box today and my car is now knackered, not starting on the original factory...
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...
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.
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...
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...
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...
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...
