    V6 4motion to Quattro TFSI

    Yep, I 100% agree - I don't think the DV has anything to do with that error code. The car has gone to a VAG specialist, albeit a local place which is fairly small so unlikely to keep stock like that when it can be ordered same day/next day. In fairness I can't knock the service I've had from...

    V6 4motion to Quattro TFSI

    Well, I broke all my own rules and did have a crawl under the car yesterday to change the battery and diverter valve. Not tricky but access was limited to say the least. Anyway, this would explain why my car has felt so sluggish recently! Car is going back to the garage to get the cambelt...

    V6 4motion to Quattro TFSI

    Hehe, I've got no problem getting my spanners out, especially for big jobs like changing the battery or the 3 bolts and connector on the diverter valve ;-) My Audi is my 'trouble free' daily car and I kinda try to stay away from spannering the daily because I already spend too much time I don't...

    V6 4motion to Quattro TFSI

    Right, I finally got around to getting a longlife major service done on the car at Autobarn along with an MOT, brake fluid change and change the HPFP cam follower that I supplied. Predictably it came back with a list of bits that need doing - I had booked it in to have the cambelt and water pump...

    V6 4motion to Quattro TFSI

    I'm just getting round to changing my HPFP as I can't see anything in the cars history to say that it's been done before. I spoke to my local Audi dealer (Amersham) to get a price and confirm the part numbers and they told me I needed: 06D109309C Cam follower £34.36 WHT005184 O-Ring...

    V6 4motion to Quattro TFSI

    Thanks Soot. So a an 18" 8J ET45 112 stud rim is no good for a cooking fastback?

    V6 4motion to Quattro TFSI

    Really lazy question but I've trawled through loads of threads and not really found the answer that I'm looking for: Can anyone tell me for once and for all what width and offset 18" dia wheel fit our cars with no spacers or messing around?

    Cam follower TFSI 2.0 2005 A3

    I'm looking at getting the cam follower changed along with a service & saw the part number on Rtech site is 06D109309R http://r-techperformance.co.uk/2-0-tfsi-tuning/ Everywhere else I look it seems to be 06D109309C...

    Exhausts, what's the difference?

    Very nice mate. Unfortunately my wife would kill me if I went down that road!!!

    Exhausts, what's the difference?

    I did like my golf, it just got a bit tired in the end & had some big bills looming so time to move on. A3 is a lot more civilised but maybe needs to be a little more interesting! Is yours resonated on non-resonated? I'm looking for something that is as quiet as possible as it's a daily user.

    Exhausts, what's the difference?

    Yes. I bought it to replace my old Golf V6 4Motion.

    Exhausts, what's the difference?

    Great answer, that's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks :smile new: All makes sense. So in theory an exhaust from a 5 door S3 advertised as '2006 on' shouldn't give too many problems fitting my 2005 TFSI.

    Exhausts, what's the difference?

    I've been looking at the amount of exhausts out there (mainly used) and it's a bit of a minefield! What I'm trying to find out is what are the main differences between the below to see if I can get away with modifying one for a different model with the minimal amout of messing around. I've...

    V6 4motion to Quattro TFSI

    Thanks for the replies, I didn't want to sound too granny with the mpg gripe, I just thought they were less juicy so my fault for not looking into it more. If I was going to get all Victor Meldrew I'd moan about the passenger seat belt sensor being so sensitive that it goes off if I put a...

    V6 4motion to Quattro TFSI

    Thanks for the replies chaps. I don't know if I'm happy that there probably isn't anything wrong with it and that is the correct-ish mpg or unhappy that I was expecting a bit more! They could at least put a bigger tank in so you don't have to fill up every 300 miles! Oh well if that's my only...

    V6 4motion to Quattro TFSI

    Hi, it's my first post here although I've been lurking for a while. In December I bought a 2005 Quattro 2.0TFSI with 57k on the clock and quite a nice history with lots of Audi bills to replace my ageing Mk4 V6 4motion Golf. I've owned a few golfs and have an air cooled toy car for fun but this...
