    downpipe cost (possible DIY?)

    Would it be ok to drive short term? for example fitting the downpipe and driving to a remapper?

    downpipe cost (possible DIY?)

    I have a 1.8TFSI with the S-Tronic gearbox and seen quite a few youtube vids of people getting the dsg pop with a downpipe, just wondering if anyone has had one fitted and rough cost, also im guessing the car would need to be remapped? or would it be ok with the stock map?

    Cleaning/restoring the leather (mainly steering wheel)

    I still see the leather grain, I know what you mean though I have a 2nd audi with 105k miles and the steering wheel on it is super shiny and worn however on the new audi the grain is still there and its still soft however it's just shiny, maybe when i let it dry more itl go more more matte...

    Cleaning/restoring the leather (mainly steering wheel)

    When I bought my car roughly 6 months ago the steering wheel leather looked really fresh with a matte finish, obviously over time it started to go shiny and collect dirt so I bought AutoGlyms Leather Cleaner (which showed a shiny steering wheel being returned to a matte/new finish) However I...

    Will a 2.5" catless downpipe require a map?

    Ah, all I can seem to find is 8V S3 deletes, would they fit on a 1.8 tfsi exhaust do you know?

    Will a 2.5" catless downpipe require a map?

    I would have to cut my exhaust though, right? also how would I reinstall the resonator without welding, clamps sound like they could cause leaks. Btw I have no clue about exhausts and resonators so sorry if I sound dumb lol.

    Will a 2.5" catless downpipe require a map?

    I was looking for something more bolt on rather than welding, so I could easily change back to stock in the future

    Where to buy downpipes?

    I have a 1.8tfsi s-tronic and can't seem to find any downpipes online (maybe im not looking hard enough) also should I buy a 2.5" or 3"?

    Thinking of buying a 1.8 TFSI

    So I've been looking for an upgrade on my 8P A3, and found a 1.8TFSI S-Tronic. My current car is a diesel and really miss the petrol engine noises. I was just wondering if with a few mods I could make the 1.8 TFSI pop and bang during gear changes. It's really nice car, S-Tronic, Quattro...

    Turbo noise + possible boost leak (video)

    So my turbo has this whine its quite loud when its cold however you can't hear it when its warmed up and driving, also in the video when I let off the throttle you hear a huge woosh of air is this how it's supposed to sound? (I know the whine i'snt normal but the air?) 2.0TDI BKD

    My car becomes seriously slow when in hot weather?

    Yeah, it has to be this because it really is like an on off switch, with all this hot weather some days it works but most days it doesn't. Just in the afternoons though, mornings is fine. Can you clean the turbo yourself or is it a professionals job?
