    2.0 tdi dpf frequent regen

    I’m after some dpf advice please. Car has 119k miles and the dpf seems to be doing a regen about once-a-week or so approx. every 150 miles. Mix of town and longer drives. Haven’t seen the dpf light come on yet though. This is the quattro which I believe means the dpf is a big big job to remove...

    I am fairly IT literate, but it does seem like a treasure hunt to go the DIY method!

    MMI 3G update software and map

    Is there a diy method to update this on my 2012 A5? Or is it just pay the 60 notes to the man on the bay!

    Fumes in cabin 2.0tdi (what is this leaking component above the turbo?)

    Has anyone else done this same repair. TPS are listing it with 3 gaskets in the kit. 1 metal one with tabs + 2 others the same. Not sure if it will be necessary though for new gaskets. Anyone?

    Fumes in cabin 2.0tdi (what is this leaking component above the turbo?)

    OK, so its an egr pipe. About £60. Not sure how much has to come off to get to bolts around the rear of the bend, looks a bit awkward though. Plenty being sold on ebay so I guess it's a common failure. Or get it all blanked off. Is this possible without also blanking the dpf though?

    2.0 tdi clutch pedal vibration

    For me it vibrates up the pedal only as your clutch foot reaches the floor at higher revs to change and then it fades away as the revs drop and it re-engages. The clutch operates fine, sharp changes with no judder. But I'm purely guessing it may be release bearing. Plus it makes no sense to only...

    2.0 tdi clutch pedal vibration

    I guess at 115k it's going to mean new clutch anyway. But I guess I’m asking can these symptoms be caused by anything more simple, seeing as the clutch seems to operate fine except as stated above? What’s indie cost these days for clutch?

    2.0 tdi clutch pedal vibration

    I’m getting a strange vibration through my clutch pedal on depressing when changing gear at higher revs. Clutch behaves perfectly normal in all other ways. Seems to be more evident in the lower gears. Only when you first depress the clutch with the revs on, but it is quite noticeable. Car is...

    Battery 115 type ordered. I have fabricated a 6mm hex tool and have removed the bolt. Do I need rns-e code before disconnecting (as it is no-where to be seen!)

    Cheapest place to buy car battery ?

    Wow, getting it out looks well tricky. I've taken top plastic tray and surrounding cover off. Then some rubber conduit cable thingy in front of the battery. But the torx retainer is under what looks like a large steel strut brace, looks like a bitch to get to?

    Cheapest place to buy car battery ?

    Tayna shows 354x175x190 for my reg, I think thats incorrect and will maybe compromise the ac pipes as pilet14 says. I believe it should be 315long as per my existing battery which I believe is the original at 14 years old.

    Cheapest place to buy car battery ?

    The 019 battery is 354mm long, which I think is too long for 2008 cabriolet 3.0tdi which I think will only take a max of 315mm, can anyone confirm?
