    URGENT - RPM jumping up and down

    Hi everyone, long story short my cousin drove my TQS abroad as ive got 2 cars, i drove my LCR and few days later he drove the TQS, 200 miles from home he called me that the car wont accelerate, the RPM's were jumping up and down and it would stall. Its more then 200 miles away from me and im not...

    TQS 300bhp internals/turbo

    Thanks Kevin , i did think about the K04-064 but i remember these are pretty hard to find and BBT never replied to my msg's about the adaptor plate but i guess that is the best route to take cause i dont want a huge turbo lag and obviously dont want to spend more then i have to for the amount of...

    Why did the A4 B5 get screwed over that much

    That's exactly to the point Kevin , it's ironic that the special version was the one with the least room for tuning on stock parts. I guess we'll never know why Audi did it the way they did , maybe it was on purpose to make the S4 stand out more who knows. They could atleast upgrade the ecu to...

    TQS 300bhp internals/turbo

    Thanks mate , i did think about the ecu swap from an a3 as it was mentioned to me before already but im a bit scared to be honest like what exactly would have to be done? I understand the immo would have to be either disabled or reprogrammed but what about the other things is it just a question...

    TQS 300bhp internals/turbo

    Hey guys , so as stated in my other thread i bought a leon cupra r that's running around 260bhp and having driven that for a few days , jumping back in my tqs it now feels seriously underpowered obviously so my previous plans for 250bhp in the tqs are now changed as having 260bhp in a lighter...

    Why did the A4 B5 get screwed over that much

    I dont really mind half of the things but the high biting point does take away the sporty feeling and a 6 speed gearbox would be nice on the motorway. But quattro makes the biggest difference as even tho the LCR has around 80hp more you can't put the power down as the tqs but the hp difference...

    Why did the A4 B5 get screwed over that much

    I know and wouldnt even compare the pre facelift b5 but the facelift could do better in my opinion. A 2000 reg a4 and a 2000 reg leon will still have many things done better i know this as my brother had a 2000 reg cupra 180 and still it had a 6 speed gearbox , low clutch biting point , better...

    Why did the A4 B5 get screwed over that much

    Hey guys , as some of you know i've got a tqs for 6 years and even tho lately the car has an unknown suspension problem that's making the handling worse i still love the car no matter what its sentimental to me but i just bought a mk1 leon cupra r 2005 thats running around 260bhp (full scorpion...

    Noise when turning steering wheel

    Thanks mate , i have been reading threads about this and it seems like the quattro needs the rear sway bar upgraded the front one is fine atleast thats what most people say and it makes sense really cause even the its an all wheel drive car its set up to understeer especially with the engine way...

    Noise when turning steering wheel

I wanted to do the s4 rear antiroll bar upgrade but some say the car is then tail happy i dont want that im getting a bmw for that what i want from the audi is great grip in all conditions but minimum understeer obviously. Also the inner tie...

    Noise when turning steering wheel

    So i just picked the car up from a garage and again no problem they didnt remove the steering rack but they said they're sure its fine the only issue they found was that the wheels have these spacers , not spacers to get them looking wide but the centre bore spacers and that might be causing the...

    Noise when turning steering wheel

    I did want to change the inner tie rods but didnt get to it cause the only one i could get would be from euro car parts and i dont want to use them for anything anymore but i will replace these over the weekend hopefully , will order some online. You mention the cv joints , what made you think...

    Noise when turning steering wheel

    Thanks Samuel , i tried that and all i noticed was that i could move the wheels very slightly left and right the track rod ends were moving aswell but these are new , im pretty sure it has something to do with the steering rack cause its getting worse and worse but the suspension is okay. Im...

    Noise when turning steering wheel

    Alright so i've got a new brake caliper installed , wheel alignment done the camber is still all wrong obviously but toe was adjusted. Still the same problem and my steering wheel still turns to the left on its own sometimes so that was not due to the sticking caliper , having read a couple of...

    A4 b5 avant 1.8t project

    I wasn't sure at first if it is the air filter i thought no way that's huge :D Your car must sound really mean with that exhaust and the air filter , you wouldnt happen to have a sound clip ? BTW when is your MOT due ?

    A4 b5 avant 1.8t project

    That's interesting , never knew the rs4 shared somany same parts with the 1.8T. Although im not completely sure but i think that if the rs4 had a single turbo and run a higher boost it might need a better dv the 710N can do the job but in a tuned car i think a forge will hold the extra boost...
