    2.0 TDI SOFTWARE UPDATE (EMISSIONS) ROLLBACK?

    Is it possible to rollback an emissions software update? It's definitely affected mpg and I think also noise at lower revs on my 2017 2.0 TDI 184 (CUNA engine code) I don't want a remap, just the original engine software. I've found some places online that do it, but they seem to be coy with...

    2017 TDI Dealer Engine ECU software update?

    I've got a 2017 TDI 184 that is due an oil service. Booked it in at AUDI and they advise me there is a "recall" software update for the engine ECM. I asked if this is something I can opt out of, and they said no. I'm open to improvements, but something tells me it might be related to emissions...

    Bilstein B8 + H&R Springs constantly hitting bump stops

    Is anyone running Bilstein B8 dampers on their A3? I've fitted some with H&R 30mm lowering springs (not the lowest they do) but it seems to sit far too low (they are the standard H&Rs) and seem really soft. The damping on the front isn't great, not much improvement over stock S-Line, and I keep...

    PD170 with no power 1800rpm-2300rpm

    I have a 2007 2.0 PD170. I've had the car for about 10yrs and it's been on the whole very reliable and also well looked after/serviced. However I have an issue that came on suddenly that I can't figure out; there is no power from around 1800rpm to around 2300rpm, after which where it starts to...

    Front indicator wire colours (harness side)

    Does anyone happen to know or have a wiring diagram for the wiring harness to the headlights (2006 10-pin halogen lights)? I'm specifically just after the colours of the +ve wires to each indicator. Thanks.

    Is it possible to code front fogs with high beam? (2007 TDI 170)

    I've seen some coding procedures through adaptations for the later 8v cars, but I'm curious if it's possible on a 2007 8p? Tried to follow the 8v coding but can't get beyond the passcode! So that when I push the main beam stalk forward (not pull/flash), the fog lights will come on with high beam.

    Help: FAO 8p TDI experts (intermittent power cut)

    I posted recently about my TDI 170 PD cutting out randomly. The issue has been so intermittent that sometimes I start the car and it immediately stalls and other times I can drive a few miles. I have VCDS and there are no consistent codes. I had an ignition circuit code so replaced the ignition...

    2007 TDI 170 cutting out

    Hi, not posted for a long time on here, but I have had my 2007 A3 TDI 170 for around 8yrs now and recently it's been cutting out whilst driving. It's a sudden "ignition" type cut out, not the same as lifting off the throttle. It fees like the stop valve on the intake is closing as there is a...

    A3 TDI 170 PD DPF Delete - where to go near Manchester?

    I'm looking at getting the DPF removed from my A3 - the DPF light is coming on frequently now despite same style driving (had the car for over 4 years and only this past year has it become an issue) - it clears itself ok but it's getting a pain to make a point of driving it down the motorway to...

    Heater blower stopped working 8P 2007 (dual climate)

    Hi, my heater has stopped blowing at all. It has been doing this on and off for a few weeks now, it will normally work fine when I get in the car in the morning but not work when I get back in it a few hours later...but then driving down the road it will suddenly come back to life and blow air...

    S-Line rideheight (measurements)

    Asking a favour! Can people with S-Lines just let me know what their rideheight it from floor to the centre of the wheelarch? (or to centre of wheel). I know it's not very scientific but just interested as I have put some S-Line springs on my car and it's not changed the height a single bit over...

    Springs and damper renewal (how to/notes)

    As my A3 TDI Sport has passed 130,000miles I thought I'd refresh the suspension and fit some S-Line springs I bought a couple of years(!) ago at the same time. The car has felt a bit bouncy (under damped on rebound) sometimes and loose at the front - I want to keep it stock/oem so I ordered some...

    2.0 TDI Clutch change - now judder/bit of noise on take off

    Oh yes another A3 clutch change problem! I swapped my clutch today as the original one at 130,000miles was slipping (but other than slip in 4th gear upwards it drove fine (clutch pedal was a bit stiff and slight vibration through it, but it otherwise behaved nice, no noise or judder)). I...

    Will a TDI 140 flywheel fit TDI 170

    Clutches on these cars seem to be shrouded in mystery, with even AUDI not knowing what they fitted until you take the gearbox off! Obviously the LUK or SACHS kits will fit on with their respective flywheels, and from what I can see the clutches themselves (ie clutch plate and coverplate) are...

    How to disconnect door loom from body?

    I'm trying to fix some broken wires on my driver's door loom and have found some in the expect place inside the rubber boot between the door and body. I have pulled the rubber boot off exposing the wires and connectors on to the body but I can't see how the loom disconnects? There is a pink tab...
