Hi All !!!
I have a 2 yr old A3 2.0TDI 140 quattro and want to get it remapped or chipped to give it more grunt (ie 170 plus bhp) !!! but have heard horror stories about gearboxes failing on chipped or remapped versions. mine is a quattro with manual gearbox... apparently the audi boys say they have had a few in with bent gearboxes...both the DSG box and the manual box on the quattro are not strong enough.... !!! is this true or is it just the audi officialdom trying to put me off ... apparently the new 170bhp version has different box/engine/etc etc... please can anyone help !!!
thanks from Jonathan
