Could be a vacuum leak stopping the turbo actuator doing its job. Check the pipes etc I once had a faulty EGR valve on my 1.9 TDI that caused the same issue. Black smoke is unburnt fuel, the car is mapped to expect more air to match the fuel it's getting in and because of the extra lag from the...

Hi guys Bit of an odd one. When my AVF 1.9 TDI is cold the power delivery is kinda jerky when pulling away. A bit of extra rev's push's past it, but it didn't use to do it. Once warmed up it's smooth and the issue is gone. I'm unsure where to start on this one. Car drives fine, still does...

I had the same issue, eventually I took out my own one, stripped it down and cleaned it up. Working fine now. I did some pics about it HERE

Yours has aged amazingly well. The wrap looks great, but mostly my eyes are drawn to the blemish free soft touch plastic around the center console, that's impressive!

Has it been scanned for codes? Is the ECU definitely working?

Unlikely

You should consider the B7 models as well, they're practically the same car underneath the updated look.

Yeah that's what it'll be, when they go they stick open so the hot water goes straight into the radiator. In this situation diesels are to efficient to get very hot, so it won't get up to temp in this weather.

I was wrong and my repair did not fix it. What DID fix it was a new windscreen, since then no leaks!

Best if you ask in the b8 group mate, this is the b6 group.

Yeah that will almost certainly fix it, but on the passenger side you also have the pollen cover to consider, and the Aircon drain pipe which is in the passenger footwell.

As an update to this, I am 99% certain I have fixed it now. The drainage channel that runs down past the windscreen on the driver side was completely blocked at the bottom with silt build up. I only discovered this after removing the rubber trim that clips over that channel. Clearing the...

It's just a v6 mate, plenty of garages would have done it. What you tend to find nowadays is people don't bother and shift on or scrap their motors when it happens, but if you like the car get it done. My advice would be find an Audi independent garage as they will have the correct tools...

Removing the whole carpet and therefore seats etc isn't a practical solution for me. Aside from the lack of garage to store it all in, I use the car most days. Plus the sound insulation deadening insulation is glued into the bulkhead from what I can see. If I can get the leak sealed I'll dry...

Yes, they are the plenum plugs I mentioned. I've actually removed them altogether. OK this evening I got right into the footwell. Glued to the back of the footrest and going right up behind the dashboard is a thick olive green piece of sound deadening foam. This foam is soaked through right...

Hi there, thanks for the advice. I don't believe it's the door seals, they're visually in good condition and the drains on the doors are clear and open for water to drain through; also the carpet by the doors is dry whereas I'd expect it to be damp if that was the path the water was following...

Hmm not lately, but I changed that filter a while back and didn't see anything unusual. Also that's the passenger side which remains dry Appreciate the suggestion though.

Hi guys Long story short, the drivers footwell and rear footwell are getting soaked whenever it rains. I've bonded the ECU cover and removed the plenum plugs, then spent considerable time drying the carpet and underlay, and after just one day of rain and a few miles driving the footwell is...

Pretty sure the b6 only went up to 2.5 TDI, but anything is possible with deep enough pockets. Bobby will happily tune up that engine in any number of Audi's so just get him to work his magic on a b8 A4

I improved my light output by buying a pair of like new Deco OE replacement units on eBay for £70, output is mint now
