    Which injectors for TDi

    I've got an A3 110/115 TDi which I've had remapped with the upsolute remap (140ish), it's also got a full Milltek turbo back exhaust system and I'll be fitting a green cotton panel filter shortly. When I had my Leon Cupra TDi I was told fitting larger injectors would help improve performance...

    How to get a new Audi Radio code....

    I've had mine done at the dealers at no cost, just booked it in on a saturday morning. Also had my Passat and Leon done previously at no cost either by the dealers. Might be worth checking with another dealer.

    Anyone heard of scorpion exhausts?

    I had one fitted to my Civic Sport it was very well made and sounded awesome when the VTEC kicked in, did give a little bit of boomy resonance when sat at motorway speeds, I rang up the suppliers who got me another back box and this got rid of the resonance. Only other thing I got with it were...

    Extra Load tires

    All my TDi's have run extra-load tyres as the TDi lump is slightly heavier and they are no more expensive if you shop around a bit.

    A3 1.9tdi 110 tuning

    I've got the Upsolute remap on mine done by CCC Tech and I have no worries with it and it makes a world of difference to the cars performance. Not sure about a FMIC but some one on here will have experience of it. When I had my Leon Cupra TDi I know a lot of the guys were doing FMICs to there...

    Need help!!!

    If you look through the show us your A3 thread you'll se pics with just about every wheel choice going. I have RS6 reps on mine. The ones on your dads A6 won't fit as the PCD is different.

    8L S3 vs 8P A3

    The difference to the Leon took it from fast to rapid and with all the extra torque you didn't need to change gear as often and in gear accelleration was unbelievable on the autobahn it would still squat under acceleration at 80+ and pulled like a train. Sometimes regret getting rid of it. I was...

    8L S3 vs 8P A3

    I've had a couple of diesels remapped, My Leon Cupra TDi went from 150 to around 190 had two runs on different rolling roads and had figures of 187 and 189 and it could quite easily stay with an Astra VXR and a civic type R when I had a go at a trackday at Cadwell Park. I've also had my A3 done...

    Which Remap supplier? (Revo , Superchips, Custom-Code)

    I've had the upsolute re-map done by Simon at CCC Tech to a couple of my VAG diesels and have heard only good things about their S3 remaps as well. With these it doesn't matter where you are in the country as Simon will travel to you and do the work at your workplace or home wherever you want...

    Gear Knob/Stick?

    Sadly at this moment in time no. My car is in the uk but I'm currently overseas with the forces. Somebody else had posted a brochure pic in a previous thread and that was why I had a look on VAGCAT for the various options available as mine was well worn.

    Recaro seats

    They will fit but you won't be able to tilt them forward to access the rear seats. I put some 5 door VR6 seats in my brothers 3 door Golf and we had to strip the seats down to the frames and swap loads of bits over to get the tilting mechanism to work, it was a right pain in the a**e Your best...
