    2012 Audi A1 Sportback 1.4 TFSI (CAXA Engine) - Code Needed for new Battery?

    Hi there, My daughter's 2012 Audi A1 1.4 TFSI (122) Sportback is having various problems starting and comes up with the "Safelock" message on the dash display each time it won't fire. I'm thinking the battery (which looks like the original 2012 one) is dying and doesn't want to hold any...

    Hi there, I'm looking to offload the wife's Range Rover Evoque 2.0 diesel in the near future as it has been a reliability nightmare in the 4 years we have owned it and I'm thinking of replacing it with a pre-facelift A5 Sportback that I've seen for sale local to me with 114k miles that looks...

    2.0 tdi quattro revo map

    I'm interested in people's opinions on this too as I've heard lots of horror stories about the B8 2.0 TDI models having very weak clutches and DMFs that don't seem to stand up to remaps. J:)

    2007 A4 B7 2.0 TDI Cabriolet - Starting Issues

    Interesting idea this. Could you tell me where the coolant sensor is located? Not sure why this would stop the car from starting when cold though. Wouldn't this just cause it to over-fuel if the coolant sensor was misreading? J:)

    A6 C6 2.0 TDI CR170 Remap - Anything to look out for?

    Thanks for the reply and for the info. Yeah, I'm certainly not expecting the car to be transformed into some sort of road rocket. Its more about giving it a bit ore oomph and general drivability especially as I'd probably spend a lot of time with the car 4 or 5 up. I was just keen to know if...

    2007 A4 B7 2.0 TDI Cabriolet - Starting Issues

    Hi there, My wife's 2007 Audi A4 B7 2.0 TDI S-Line Cabriolet has recently developed starting issues. Seems to affect the car mostly when completely cold (i.e. first thing on a morning) and the starter turns over fine, but it can take anything up to 30 seconds for the engine to begin to...

    A6 C6 2.0 TDI CR170 Remap - Anything to look out for?

    Hi there, Lots of very tidy end of the line C6 2.0 TDI 170s out there for peanuts these days. Many with Special Edition or Le Mans spec with lots of kit on them too and it might be well worth getting one as a runaround for the next couple of years. Anyway, with it being quite a big, heavy car...

    Help Please Considering A Re-Map On The Avant - Thoughts?

    Been reading these posts with interest. It looks as though unless you are happy to spend £000's on replacement and upgraded parts, you need to do the following: - 1) Choose a reputable company that actually know what they are doing 2) Don't get greedy. Go for a 'mild' map with a progressive...

    A4 2.0TDI 134bhp/170bhp - Experiences & Results from Remapping?

    Seems strange this. I'm assuming its a completely different clutch set-up to the earlier PD engined cars then? My B6 PD130 Quattro did 190k on its original clutch and DMF and was often driven hard. Is it a smaller clutch/DMF set up than the 170bhp car? J:)

    A4 2.0TDI 134bhp/170bhp - Experiences & Results from Remapping?

    Hi there, Looking at a possible change of car in the not too distant future and I quite like the early A4 B8 Black Edition (2011) Avant models that are now going for very reasonable money. There are plenty of lower-powered 134bhp models on offer too for quite a lot less than the 170bhp and...
