    1.8 TFSI recommended RON fuel

    Don't want to start another fuel debate but I'm a bit confused because on my fuel cover it recommends filling with 95 RON fuel but it will take minimum of 91 RON fuel. So because of this I thought that the engine wouldn't take advantage of 98 RON fuel but after decoding the VIN for my car one of...

    Testing PD Injectors?

    Does anyone know how to test fuel injectors on a PD engine? They use Unit Injectors so you cannot do a leak back test. I have recently had them tested at a local garage and they tested the fuel return via the OBD using a laptop so does anyone know which program will show this sort of...

    A3 3.2 remap advice and fuel talk

    I was wondering if there was anyone out there that had bothered remapping their vr6? I know the quoted gains are pretty poor, but I was considering it as my throttle response is a tad excitable, making pulling off at a reasonable speed a bit jerky.... Don't get me wrong, if I want to have...
