    misfuelling ? DPF? advice please

    Hi all, I have a 2010 Audi A3 2.0TDI (CFFB) black edition Recently my car has given me some very poor mpg, i think the DPF is near the end of its live, alongside a dodgy thermostat. But at nearly 169k miles is it worth changing those parts? The thermostat has never read 90 degrees celsius for...

    High mileage 2.0 TDI's! What does your odometer read?

    70mph on the dot, no aggressive driving seems like a mission to hit 500 before the fuel reserve light goes off! :( my coolant gauge never hits 90 degrees. But a car with 163k is there any point in getting this changed for a few miles lol 2.0tdi cffb 2010 sportback

    How many miles does your 2.0TDI get per full tank? I hit around 400 miles (all motorway) to 3/4 which I think is quite poor!! Hows everyone else?

    157k! Still returning 55+ mpg daily. 2.0TDI CFFB is one mighty engine. Got a few noises at 0-10mph. might be OSF, NSF bearings. How much would this set me back chaps

    Recently my car went to my local Audi dealership to get one of the exhaust gas sensors replaced. For anyone who allows Audi to wash and vacuum their car, say no. They use a big brush all over the car and squeegee at the end! Scratch central!!

    High mileage 2.0 TDI's! What does your odometer read?

    So I asked my mechanic - he said the thermostat was slightly sticking. But this isn't related to DPF regenerations as that's different. Thermostat is around £300, 2 hours labour and parts around £100. Fairly low mileage, be careful of the EGR valve failing on you. As 2 years after the update...

    High mileage 2.0 TDI's! What does your odometer read?

    In regards to the thermostat postponing DPF regens, i'll ask the mechanics that tomorrow as I am not exactly sure. What's the mileage on your motor pal? That is a good point Norris. To be totally honest I would rather spend an extra £200 and change my discs and pads, then spend £100 on a dodgy...

    Hi pal, mines a 2010 Audi A3 2.0TDI. In regards to the thermostat, I’m probably looking at another £100 so I might leave it for the time being. I think £500 is enough - as I may need my brake fluid changing this service. so the internal temperature on the oil section of the cars computer says...

    High mileage 2.0 TDI's! What does your odometer read?

    Hi, I've noticed my thermostat rarely reaches 90° even though I do long drives, and most my journeys are above 20 mins or so. However this doesn't have any effect on the drive of the car itself (e.g. turbo still boosts, car drives fine) but would I benefit from getting a genuine thermostat put...

    High mileage 2.0 TDI's! What does your odometer read?

    Good to hear! I choose against a remap as I will most likely go for a faster car when I upgrade. Not doing as much miles as I used to, so having to clean the DPF every few weeks. Nearly on 150k :Black B7:

    @1animal1 If you're going to replace the EGR valve + Cooler. It isn't the cheapest repair, mine set me back £750 with genuine audi parts.
