alibob, did u try to run a proper VAG error code scan? Normally VAG computer can tell a problem, but I believe its that blue 4 pin sensor near the right hand bottom corner radiator, because this sensor controls on/off fan... Well that's what was wrong with my car.... Hope this helps?1?

I know who drive's A8, 4.2 TDI, and its been remaped to 400+, in silver colour, with same style alloys 20's. And A8 looks outstanding!

I know on the stage 2, bigger turbo, good exhaust, bigger injectors, and intercooler is a must! But on the stage 1, front intercooler worth a money, or not really?

I have found a small intercooler kit and all silicon hoses + delivery for 160£, that is not bad at all... But just thinking will give anything on stage 1, and EOM turbo? Also I been told u have to connect new front intercooler to the old one, that way u need less silicone hoses, and that way...

Is it worth doing Fmic, on the stage 1?

Ben jah min thank you for a great post :thumbs up:

A massive thank you to put me the right way for a best engine oil... :thumbs up:

I will make sure to change to 507.00 very soon. What is the changing intervals in the long life 507.00?

I did get it on the end... ;)

I l live in the East Yorkshire, Hull. And everybody telling me a Rev0 are very good on remaps, and they are local to me... Anybody used them for anything?

Thank Thank you James for this link :thumbs up:

Thank you Karl for a very clear explain! I will go for a stage 1, just don't want to mest up the clutch by doing this, that's all. Exhaust and de-cat for sure... About oil, i will be changing every 4-5K miles anyway. I been told proper PD fully synthetic oil 5w-40 gives a best protection, but...

U have surprised me, even at the manual handbook I says only VW505 01. Unless that's the minimum requirements? And for a long service oil it says, 507 00.

I don't use 2stroke, and at the moment is fully synthetic 5w-40. VW505 01 PD oil, I bought this one from waterloo it was 24.22£ for a 5L. But I am not far away from the next oil service, previously owner was lady, and oil been done every 8-10K, not the best really, but it was proper 5w-40 vw505...

Anything else I could do apart from the exhaust, EGR delete, and remap? Now about remap, I know u can do more torque, more bhp, a bit off bouth, and there is a eco remap. Whitch one would be ideal for a better performance, and maybe even improve mpg? I am not a boy racer, just looking to gain...

Sorry I didn't get that, what is it "an eml"? I been told by my garage mechanic, there is no difference or u just block it EGR, or u delete from ECU, apparently he told me, that makes no difference... But I am strongly thinking to improve exhaust flow by de-cat, and remove middle silent box...

OGZ I found, but its a lot them codes there, this is a second 3 digit code... And what that OGZ means?

I went to have a look, but I could find one, there is one on the cambelt cover, that's the engine code and number. Another sticker is in the spare wheel base, but there is car colour code. Another code u can see by your windscreen at the bottom. And I found another metal plate, what tells all...
