    2.0tdi issue and preventative maintainance

    Hi, I'm posting here instead of the Q3 section given that it'll be the same engine, and hoping for a wide audience. My wife owns a 2.0tdi 140 which has recently started flagging a flashing coil on the dash intermittently which sends the car into limp. Turning the engine on and off solves it...

    Vcds or OBDeleven... Latest

    Vagcom USB lead - what's it worth

    After someone asked about me parting with my original Vagcom lead, I decided to look and see what it was worth! Noticing that these are still going for upto near on £200 2nd hand (think mate was thinking about the price of a knock off lead). I have no use for this anymore having jumped to BMW a...

    2006 A6 vs 2011 A6 spec nav

    Hi chaps, just wondering what the differences are.... firstly have both these cars got touch screen sat nav and is the 2011 car a different nav? My requirements are a 3.0tdi with xenons (rare I know) and nav as a minimum, just want to make sure without having to run around looking at 2011 cars...

    Stage 1 S3 vs 350Z

    Highly recommended!! Especially if you can find one with a Nismo kit and big bore.... Oh and and three nice strips of road, pref one flat and another uphill :) double points if you get a sulking chav at the end of it... No wavey, no likey :)

    Another 'what's it worth' thread :D

    Ok chaps, time for me to go, I've decided to get rid in favour of a 3.0tdi A6 avant - this will serve several purposes, the first of which will be me growing up!! the avant will obviously have space for my two large dogs, instead of me having to put the S3's seats down constantly, the mpg will...

    Mapped C6 3.0 Tdi 1/4 mile and 0-60...anyone bothered :D

    As above chaps, i know its not what this cars about and its probably better gauging midrange instead..... I will be gutted to lose the pace of my S3 and wanted to find out how far i'll be off the mark - saw a post on pistonheads where a lad claims to be keeping with scoobies/RS focus which i...

    Query regards model years 2005 and 2008

    Hi, I am narrowing my options for a change to an estate, almost certainly it's going to be a 3.0 tdi or the 2.7 unit.... 3.0 pref due to quattro which i'd hate to be without! (they don't do the 2.7 tdi in quattro do they?) My question surrounds changes between say a 2005 model and a 2008. I...

    A4 3.0TDI MPG what do you get?

    In my quest to research the range of diesels I am now considering the 3.0 tdi after much deliberation. I've ascertained there are two versions, the 203 and 230bhp models, ideally i think I need to look at a pre march 2006 for the tax and is it the DLV model which is the later engine? Having...
