    VCDS values and BKD timing to smooth idle!!!

    Hi. My my mpg didn't change to much. And tbh isn't that great. My gf uses the car to go to work and back. Down small country lanes. My mpg is around 40mpg. Seems a little low but will test on a long run at the weekend. Did you adjust the front cam at all?

    VCDS values and BKD timing to smooth idle!!!

    Just to let you know I did the adjustment at the weekend. Found it pretty easy to do. Although I couldn't get the torque wrench on one of the 13mm exhaust bolts. Due to the brake resivour being in the way. So tightened with a ring spanner and marked with a marker pen and turned the engine...

    Do you need to lock the cams to undo the 3 13mm bolts?

    VCDS values and BKD timing to smooth idle!!!

    Following this thread with interest. I have the same symptoms as you. My torsion value is at -2.9 though. Hopefully this is my prob. Looking to adjust the front cam next weekend. My fuel flicks from 0.4l/h to 0.2 thinking this is prob also a little low.

    Smoking on startup and after long idle

    Yeah the smoke is def more blue, almost sure its burnt oil. Always did it a very small amount but now is worse than ever, if leave to idle for more than a minute or so it emits a very large puff of blue smoke

    which is the better 1.8t? 150 / 180??

    I would say go for the 180 quattro, even get the s3 if you can afford, otherwise you will do what i did and buy just a standard 1.8t a3 and then spend the next couple of years finding out about all the extras the s3 has and your car doesnt lol. However i still love the audi.
