    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)

    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

    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...

    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?

    I think my car has a boost leak but i'm not sure?

    No i haven't tried that. The engine it's self runs perfect and smooth it just feels not quick and that combined with air noises from the engine i'm assuming just a boost leak

    I think my car has a boost leak but i'm not sure?

    I have a 2.0 TDI 140 and the car feels slow however its always been like this since i bought it. When I floor the car it it takes awhile for it to climb the revs then after 2600-2800 revs its like its got nothing left to give so I have to change gear. Also while its climbing revs I can hear...
