    2008 140 TDI Lumpy idle / slight wobble on idle. Help Please.

    Ok got a slight wobble on idle. Doesn't do this from cold but it becomes apparent when warm 90 as indicated on temp gauge. So far I have checked for fault codes but there aern't any. Flywheel and clutch only just done so it ain't that. Went to Audi and they suggested I get the injectors...

    2.0 TDI oil pump / balance shaft failure?

    Thanks Matt Don't think it will be a keeper then based on that.....car aint that great to invest that sort of dosh. May consider a 3.o tdi next time or go back to a reliable 320d sport with 177 or 184 powerplant. Main dealer reckons the early car's are worse although this problem...

    2.0 TDI oil pump / balance shaft failure?

    Thanks Paul In that case can I simply change the assembly for a new one to prevent this from happening? I have a good mechanic so is it an expensive for the parts to change this assembly and what's involved? My main dealer said they don't see any issues on the later cars!!! ggrrr!!

    Re Map required for my 2008 140 TDI. Suggestions plz

    Burnham on Sea, Somerset. I was originally hoping to have cruise and an APR map but I don't think they do it. I assume these maps pretty well offer similar power/torque gains?? I note Revo were doing 30% off at GTI International now reduced to 20% off at TSR. Ian

    Re Map required for my 2008 140 TDI. Suggestions plz

    Any suggestions would be great. I've had plenty experience of APR but I don't think they do my B7 TDI. Any advantages / disadavantages between these : Revo Superchips AmD Van Aken Any other good ones for performance and economy? Is there any TDI dyno day threads? Thanks Ian

    2.0 TDI oil pump / balance shaft failure?

    That's put me right off getting a 2 litre TDI Audi. I will probably opt for the 2.7tdi A6 or 3 litre derv unit..I assume they are ok? Another contender is the 330d BMW.....father has one of these and it superb. I like our B6 TBH....a lovely Avant but the newer A4 seems to be a real...
