General question really, although I know most are Savvy to avoid this on doubt, but just wanted to know if anyone was unlucky enough to Fail an MOT with the new 2018 laws - having known (or not known for that matter) if their DPF was deleted/removed and remapped? Thanks A

Hey guys Cars been running really good thus far, its a 170 BMN, but just today got a flashing coil followed by an engine light. (it went out and came back on) - done a scan and got this code: 012600 - Intake Manifold runner control Regulation Deviation reading up on previous posts points to...

Hi After sorting all my DPF issues, one EML light that kept coming back was: "005270 - Switch-over Valve for EGR Cooler (N345) - P1496 - 006 - Short to Plus - MIL - ON" I took a chance and replaced the valve (identical to N75), having read by many that it could be the connector or wiring to...

was this the N345 switch over valve for the EGR cooler by any chance?

Thanks guys,after clearing the fault it came back so assuming something is up with it, but mine sounds like an issue with wiring to do with the EGR cooler switch over as per : 005270 - Switch-over Valve for EGR Cooler (N345) - P1496 - 006 - Short to Plus - MIL - ON Where is the EGR cooler...

Thanks for the very informative response, I shall look into the EGR and take things from there I cant really see much in the way of DIY fixing of the EGR so may just end up replacing it

IVe just hit 116k...

Agree, i just dont know where to start with the EGR, could it be electrical or need a clean? I will see if that code comes back again after clearing it but I do take what your saying whereby its got a part to play in the DPF being sooted up more frequently.

Thanks for the response, thats worth a try at £55 - bearing in mind on the cars on 116k miles now and its most likely the original item in there. On another post you say its a fairly easy DIY? Thanks Akbar

So we had this car for a over a year now, no real issues and anytime the DPF light used to come on I would take it for a drive then it would clear after 10 mins of motorway driving. Granted its used more for local driving and not long distant which is why this is happening and most likely why...

Hi Guys Looking to get shocks replaced for my A3 sportback s-line, reading a few threads some say Bilstein B4 standard are ok and their website suggest using the B4 Sport for sports suspension, which I assume the S-line comes with? Whats the general consensus on shock replacements for S-Line...

ok so this started recently and has got much louder here are symptoms: - creak to rumble sound when turning left or right for that matter - if turning out of a car park space slow it actually sounds like a sound similar to a CV joint on its way out, less metallic though - no vibration can be...

I may be in Wembley around this weekend or next so that might just work out :) - keep you posted, thanks!

Anyone with VCDS local to Slough/Heathrow area? I want to get this sorted before evenings get shorter ;)

Yes thats correct, I was thinking it could be the harness also, but I was sure bit 9 in the coding exercise was to there to then make the brake lights switch off? - in any case, my VCDS long coding string does not change, which seems to be my issue. even after it says coding accepted the value...

Hi Guys - hope someone can help. I was trying to do this install today and followed a guide on youtube also. My car is a 2008 A3 2.0 TDi S-Line 170. Upon using loom adaptors off eBay, I installed the Outer LED lights only first, to test... and then fired up VCDS 15.7.1, went to 09 - Central...
