    Automatic Range Control

    Hi all my 2003 2.5TDI keeps popping the fuse in slot 10 which is the automating range control for headlights, I have recently changed my throttle body so I was wondering if I might have disturbed wire or plug somewhere but not sure where to look. Does anyone know any info or location of unit...

    2.5tdi V6

    I know it's been a while, I managed to get the actuator nice and free following the advice off LayerzA3 (thanks for that) but unfortunately still no boost. However I read in a post regarding the N75 valve or the turbo pressure controller. So got a price for a replacement, simple to fit and BOOM...

    2003 2.5TDI V6 Intercooler

    Many Thanks for reply :) Sorry if I sound a bit thick here but when you say move front into service position do you mean physically for access purposes or is there something I need to do to let the car know that it's having work done? Thanks again.

    2003 2.5TDI V6 Intercooler

    Just wondering if anyone has tackled replacing an intercooler, I'm thinking of replacing the O/S, picked up a preowned. is there anything I should be cautious about tacking on my own. Thanks in advance for any info.

    2.5tdi V6

    Looked at taking the down pipe off (Is that the hot side?) but the 2 top nuts I can access and loosen without a problem but just haven't got the tool to do the bottom one. I had a local garage run some diagnostics and it came back with faulty intake manifold flap (motor) but not to sure if...

    2.5tdi V6

    Just an update on this, I have found out that my VNT actuator is jammed. Mechanic says he can strip turbo down and clean but be prepared for the worse case scenario and purchase a new turbo in case things go bad. In the meantime I've been looking at the Mr Muscle solution but can't find anyone...

    2.5tdi V6

    Ok a quick update with this. I have replaced the MAF with a Denso part. Light went out initially, however I still have no boost when cold and when the car warms up and I have boost it's started to judder at low speed, more so when I let my foot off the accelerator. I now have a new code P0102...

    2.5tdi V6

    I have just purchased a 2003 A4 SE model, 150k, i'm very happy with it as it runs like a dream and I only paid £600 with a long MOT. However during this cold spell it takes a few turns to start followed by smoke when it eventually starts. Also when it's a cold start there is no boost only when...

    obd plug n play chip! what ever next

    So basically your saying these units do nothing and I shouldn't expect it to work, if thats the case i'll get a refund and put the money towards a pro remap.

    obd plug n play chip! what ever next

    I did go for performance :yum: I'm no expert but from how he explained it is the unit uses those 120ml to read current data from the ecu and when you do a reset it writes the modified map back. Anyway that aside I must say that i've noticed difference, not huge but some. Car starts a lot...

    Hello from Sunny Manc

    Hi all...it's not sunny btw..far from it :sob: Anyway a couple of years ago I inherited my bro-in-laws 1998 A4 1.8T, I love it, admittedly i've thrown a bit of money at it over the last couple of years, nothing major just to keep it running nice with things like a turbo. Just looking at some...
