alibob, did u try to run a proper VAG error code scan? Normally VAG computer can tell a problem, but I believe its that blue 4 pin sensor near the right hand bottom corner radiator, because this sensor controls on/off fan... Well that's what was wrong with my car.... Hope this helps?1?

I know who drive's A8, 4.2 TDI, and its been remaped to 400+, in silver colour, with same style alloys 20's. And A8 looks outstanding!

I know on the stage 2, bigger turbo, good exhaust, bigger injectors, and intercooler is a must! But on the stage 1, front intercooler worth a money, or not really?

I have found a small intercooler kit and all silicon hoses + delivery for 160£, that is not bad at all... But just thinking will give anything on stage 1, and EOM turbo? Also I been told u have to connect new front intercooler to the old one, that way u need less silicone hoses, and that way...

Is it worth doing Fmic, on the stage 1?

Ben jah min thank you for a great post :thumbs up:

A massive thank you to put me the right way for a best engine oil... :thumbs up:

I will make sure to change to 507.00 very soon. What is the changing intervals in the long life 507.00?

I did get it on the end... ;)

This is from vw oil specs: VW 507.00 Low SAPS oils suitable for Euro 4 engines and almost all VAG diesel engines from 2000 onwards with extended service intervals, unitary injector pumps and also Pumpe-Düse ("PD") engines. Excludes V10, R5 engines and VW Commercial vehicles without fitted DPF...

I l live in the East Yorkshire, Hull. And everybody telling me a Rev0 are very good on remaps, and they are local to me... Anybody used them for anything?

Thank Thank you James for this link :thumbs up:

Thank you Karl for a very clear explain! I will go for a stage 1, just don't want to mest up the clutch by doing this, that's all. Exhaust and de-cat for sure... About oil, i will be changing every 4-5K miles anyway. I been told proper PD fully synthetic oil 5w-40 gives a best protection, but...

U have surprised me, even at the manual handbook I says only VW505 01. Unless that's the minimum requirements? And for a long service oil it says, 507 00.
