    Next Upgrade?

    Hmmmm...... that's over my budget and tbh I couldn't justify spending that amount on the old girl really... Aside from a FMIC which I may well end up doing, is there anything else anyone can suggest which would see me any noticeable gains/improvements? Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

    Next Upgrade?

    Thanks Tuffty... the routing of the charge pipe is the only concern though as I don't like the look of the ones that go diagonally over the rocker cover into the nearside corner. I have seen some fmics that have inlet ports and outlet ports both on the throttle body side buy they don't seem to...

    Next Upgrade?

    Hi guys. I have an a3 8l aum and I'm after some advice off you 1.8t legends lol. Basically I want to know if there is an obvious relatively low cost performance upgrade (less than £200) that i have misses and would benefit the car... It's currently around the 220 bhp/ 250 ft lb mark. Mods as...

    17544 fault code caused by decat pipe or n249/112 bypass??

    It was actually my maf causing the ltft to be over 20%. This has been cleaned now ltft is at 14% and the code hasn't come back. However sai incorrect flow code is causing an eml which I am told is quite hard to get rid of on an aum......

    I guess your now just enjoying the fruits of your labour. With all the time and money you've spent on the car over the years you're probably happy to just sit back and enjoy it for what it is for a while.... Would love to see it in the flesh sometime, I hope to make all the audi shows next...

    Coolant reservoir upper hose leaking

    Hi Guys, After replacing my coolant reservoir today due to finding an assortment of plastic parts in it I have noticed a small leak in the hose that returns to the tank. A trip to Audi revealed that a replacement hose is £95!! I had a length of same id silicone vacuum hose in the loft so have...

    My minor modding thread

    Just finished reading this thread, took me about 5 days!! Loving the car and your oem approach and attention to detail. You have inspired me to up my efforts as I am sure 1000's of others have! How much longer do you intend to keep her? And what do you think she's worth? Also, anything to...

    17544 fault code caused by decat pipe or n249/112 bypass??

    I cleared the code to see how quickly it would come back and it only took 2 days so I think that proves it must be the n112 bypass that's the problem? Guessing I shouldn't have bypassed that with the sai still present? Can anyone confirm this???

    17544 fault code caused by decat pipe or n249/112 bypass??

    Hi guys, I have a a3 1.8t aum which has a 3" decat and milltek full system. It was remapped before the exhaust was fitted at AMD in Essex. I have also just done the well advised n249/112 delete. The sai pump is still in place and is noisy, but on inspection someone has bolted it together in the...
