    Had the emissions update done

    Oh well I don't know then... They insisted that they must report if I don't do it and that the software update wouldn't mess with the car performance... **** you Audi, seriously

    Had the emissions update done

    I am not sure what MOT is but if it is the techical inspection test they do here every 2 years the worst that could happen is failure (but they as far as I know it wont) Well, in Portugal every year (on the month you bought the car) you have to pay a bill that is calculated with your car engine...

    Had the emissions update done

    I'll have to do it otherwise they will report to Audi that I didn't and I risk having to pay extra taxes for polution the car is doing. I'll probably just remap it after they update the software

    Had the emissions update done

    Well I was supposed to send my car yesterday for the remap. I did not go there so before re-scheduling I was going to ask her if the car was "caped down". Found this topic.... now no way I'll send my audi there

    Audi A4 136hp remap to 200hp (Stage 1) WTF

    There is a culture of diesel tunning in Portugal mostly because Petrol\Gasoline is very expensive compared to Diesel here. As for Dynos, they imported.... The 2 main repro garages that I know one uses Rotronics by Dynosens and the other uses Ryme (One is French the other is Spanish I believe)...

    Audi A4 136hp remap to 200hp (Stage 1) WTF

    So guys I follow the top 3 Ramap garages in Portugal in Facebook. Since last month I saw A4s B8.5 2.0 TDI 136hp going for a stage 1 remap. For my surprise they getting up to 200hp and 408nm. (lowest did 198hp and highs I saw 201hp). They claim the 136hp 2 liters engine is very similar to the...

    Bigger Alloys

    I thought the bigger the ET the further away the wheel stay from the car

    Bigger Alloys

    Larger tyres on the back is normal in cars like BMW and Mercedes because they are RF rear traction. I have never seen that on an audi since they are FF or quattro. I would go for wider tyres since the rims are 20. Some guys here have 20s they can provide better feedback that I

    Recommended tyre pressure for 225/45R18?

    With a powerful engine like that you can roll with any rotor and tyre size. My 16" were on 225 tyres. I simply stayed with it. Now I am very carefully parking to avoid touching the kerbs

    Recommended tyre pressure for 225/45R18?

    I am saying better acceleration/fuel economy comparing to the wider 245 tyre. I had 16". Now that I am with 18 I notice a drop of acelaration power but turning is much better

    Recommended tyre pressure for 225/45R18?

    I am using that pressure because my tyres are XL (extra load)

    Recommended tyre pressure for 225/45R18?

    We don't have winter tyres here as there is no snow here. Why I stayed with the 225? 245 would rise my mpg and lower acelaration. Sure they would provide better grip in dry roads. Another reason for the 225 was the way it looks... the alloy is at the face of the tyre (no tyre belly). [emoji12]
