    Audi Avant Rear Wiper Delete - Query!

    Im aware that a small corsa isn't the same as an A4 but i removed the wiper on mine a couple years ago and bunged it with a rubber grommet, the jet being at the top of the boot lid so wasnt a problem. I also treated the rear window,well all the glass on the car, with a long lasting rain...

    3.0 TDI Quattro

    Thanks for the input, after much thought my head is almost ruling over my heart now and thinking an S4 is totally stupid. everyone talking sense, and realising in the climate we're in its total stupidity to even think about it. Trying to meet in the middle. Sadly cant seem to see any 3.0 tdi...

    3.0 TDI Quattro

    Hey folks, quick update for any interested, dads budget set is £6k which for a car from a parent is really reasonable aiming towards a B6 S4 now, just to work on persuading Dad, and telling myself i can afford the fuel, which i probably cant

    3.0 TDI Quattro

    Another question for anyone who can answer. After having a discussion on another forum including the topics Audi, diesel and decat i was quickly shot down in flames by two folk strongly against anything Audi and anything diesel. I was questioned on why id want a diesel V6 based on sound when i...

    When you say EGR removal do you mean disable? Or physically remove?

    3.0 TDI Quattro

    Thanks yea after a bit of reading thats my intention, just want to find somewhere that can do what i want in the one go, de cat, dpf removal, exhaust system then a remap to get it running as it should. when it comes to mapping are there a lot of places that use off the shelf maps or are most...

    Wiper Blades - recommendations

    I know its not the same but i have Goodyear flat blades from Costco on my corsa £7 each which i think is pretty Good and just as good as the Bosch ones in my opinion, but hey thats just on a corsa and not an audi another option to aid clearing the windscreen would be a long term rain...

    3.0 TDI Quattro

    from what i had read, and i could be talking out my hole here so here goes but... supposedly soot build up caused by the EGR was then clogging up the inlet and therefore helping to cause the problem with the swirl flaps...

    3.0 TDI Quattro

    sorry another question did you therefore have the EGR mapped out as well , did you see any loss or improvement in performance or economy? and if I was having the car mapped anyway would you advise for this to be done as a pre-emptive? or ride it out and see if the problem occurs

    3.0 TDI Quattro

    yea, only bad thing with the V6 is you've got two of them to replace :( but i couldnt believe what i saw in the video that they were plastic. suppose a manufacturer has gotta guarantee bringing money in

    3.0 TDI Quattro

    yea i noticed that before, when i narrowed down the search it didnt appear when i selected V6, then noticed they had it down as a 4 cyl. wonder if that means its not a 3L, would be handy to see the reg to check. Although, like i said, it would be pointless every chance it would be sold by the...

    3.0 TDI Quattro

    think i had read a few of your posts prior to being a member on here, most came up in google searches regarding the problem. were you the one that had the flaps mapped out rather than replace the manifold? im interested to know about the modified linkages as i also thought part of the problem...

    3.0 TDI Quattro

    Yea I found a stunning example from a dealers in Wigan, no doubt will be sold by the time it comes to buying. Used AUDI A4 3.0 TDi Quattro S Line 5dr for sale in Wigan | PistonHeads and like you said above its really what I'm looking for, the perfect balance between performance and economy

    3.0 TDI Quattro

    Brilliant, thank you! I take if servicing on these yourself is fairly straight forward. Likewise my history in the Royal Logistics we always serviced our own vehicles since then i've looked after my own car and in all honesty if ive no real intention of selling on then missing a stamp in the...
