I had the Superchips Bluefin on my A3 DSG and it was the best money spent ever, the 140hp goe sup to around 180hp and makes the car superb to drive. You can revert to the standard map in 10 minutes if you're worried about the warranty etc, it will not be totally undetectable but the average...

Sadly I swopped in my A3 Tdi DSG for a BMW 530D, needed bigger car and hence the BMW, however the Bluefin chip on my 2.0TDi DSG was superb and certainly worth the £500. I have it for sale in the classifieds section if anyones interested, then you can purchase a map for your own car for...

When I swopped the card holder in my Sportback for the cupholder I had a similar problem and got around it by modding the front from the card holder to fit. So basically I have a "hidden" cup holder.

well my dealer wanted close on £2k for the full job including parts, needless to say I haven't bothered and like you I don't fancy doing it myself. Must be an opportunity for someone out there, happily pay sensible money?

As one who has the Superchips remap I can honestly say it was the best money i've spent on tuning, but the reason I went for the Superchip was mainly that I wanted something that I could load or unload at will when I take my car for a service. I am still within the warranty and prefer to not...

You can also use the translator within Micorsoft Word, click on Tools, Language and then translate. It works reasonably well, I work for a French company and use it all the time.

Well if you do decide to get it done the delaer will most likely charge you the princely sum of £180 for the priviledge. Parts £80 Labour £100.

Just booked my A3 2.0 TDi DSG in for service at Huntingdon. £215 for the service at 36,000, and then the dealer rang back to remind me that it will need the DSG oil and filter changing at 40k....at a cost of £180...what the hell is all that about, I have never changed oil on an auto in any car...

Its def the Miasano Red as I have now had mine repainted 3 times by Audi, first time they did a poor paint match hence the second repaint, and more recently after a further 15k miles I had the front redone as it has peeled again. It would appear that the paint gets chipped and then starts to...

The guys at Superchip will respond quickly if you need it. I couldn't download the map to my home Pc as NTL at that time wouldn't allow it for some reason. So rang the guys at Superchip who very kindly allowed me to upload at a customer site, I then rang them and they made the map available...

Thanks Marms, but I don't have access to Vagcom and tbh I don't feel confident in removing the airbag..visions of it going off in my face are worrying. I wonder if there is an Audi specialist in the Herts/Cambs border who would take this job on? Anybody? I live at Royston Herts, SG88 postcode?

Go for the Bluefin, did it on my A3 140 DSG and the difference is stunning, smoother more torgue and slightly better economy and its quicker than a 170 by far. Transformed the car from a quick oil burner to a very rapid motor, shame about the tyre wear tho!

Well that's vastly different to my dealers quote, did you do the job yourself? Where did you source the parts from please. I have cruise fitted so I would happily pay £350 for the job.

The holes will be level with the eyeball vents to the left of the passenger one..and believ me its a mess if you remove the bracket. Like you my car was specced with GSM/Bluetooth and no MFSW by the dealer, it was their demo car. Absolutely useless without the MFSW but the dealer has quoted...

Got my pedals from audi-accessories at the link above and the price is very similar and the service is excellent.
