    Audi A3 170 TDi Build Thread

    perfectly normal question to ask i would say - obviously diesels whine a bit more (in my personal opinion). the CAI on the A3 diesel was nice, had a good whine coming off boost and you could certainly hear it sucking in the cold air when you booted it :) recommend a CAI but not the Carbonio

    Would you put two stroke in a diesel engine to clean the inside of the engine out?!

    Rather strange as a question but would you put two stroke in diesel fuel to clean out the engine? Reasons why i am asking this questions is that an old friend of mine who has a Ford Mondeo ST Diesel with around 100k miles on did exactly this and said that it improved the car, its MPG and cleaned...

    Difference between 2.0 TDI 140 / 170?

    I drive a 170 break one myself and have had a few issues with the EGR valve and hesitation but seemed to fix it all by replacing the cambelt sensors and a good service. MPG - i will get anything from 35-60mpg. Remap - custom remap - 210bhp. Lots of torque and a good drive. In comparison to a...

    Audi A3 170 TDi Build Thread

    Having to say goodbye to the wheel as unfortuntely it is causing excessive rubbing when i'm cornering, having people in the back or just general city driving. Will be replacing them with either some neater speedlines or maybe BBS. More pictures to come! Current state of the wheels and rubbing:
