Hi all,
Not had any updates on the car for some time, and I wasn't planning to - then last week happened!
My mate had recently picked up a 2005 A4 Avant 2.0 TDI 140, and was telling me that he thought it was faster than stock.
He digs up a receipt from the previous owner showing a revo remap and 185 horses!
He took me out for a spin and needless to say I had to get one myself.
After Wednesday and £360, I have now got myself a remapped A3.
I was very nervous due to the miles the car had done, and hearing about turbo and clutch woes, but it's definitely worth the cash!
She properly shifts now, 3rd feels like 2nd gear!
It was done by an agent of Celtic Tuning, who claim that the map produces 206bhp.
Now I don't know if it does anywhere near that...but it certainly feels very fast!
Another small update was that I fixed an annoying door cracking/creaking sound from both sides!
There was a thread on here saying that using a black crayon round the felt at the top of the door fixes this issue so I picked up a Crayola pack in Sainsburys earlier today. I was genuinely staggered when it worked! No more cracking noise from either door, which is hugely better and makes the car lovely to drive even in silence!
That's all from me for the time being!
