Sherv's A3 TDI Quattro

[Sherv]

Hey folks, been totally loving my first Audi & first diesel! Had it since September last year & been on here for the past few months. Always wanted an Audi & always drove buckets so I'm chuffed to bits. Love the Quattro (stay in Scotland) & invested in good tyres; michelin pilot sport.

Here is a list of mods so far;

Rear LED licence lights, rear windows tinted, 18" RS4 alloys,
EGR blank & delete, stage 1 remap, double din HU android,
reverse camera, debadged rear.

Mods to do (cash willing);

Custom exhaust
Honeycomb grill
S3 pedals
Rear android 7" LCDs on rear headrests
Ashtry delete
Refurbish alloys & re-paint
LTI headlights & DRL (bi-xenon to expensive)
S-line flat bottom steering wheel

Car original:

First thing I did was get new genuine alloys & sand, paint the calipers with quattro decals;

Then I got the rear windows tinted;

Then the plan was to get it carbon cleaned & blank/clean the EGR & delete before a remap;

Then take it for a stage 1 remap;

Went from 168BHP to 202BHP & 340ft Ib/460nm of torque!!!!

Got car valeted & fitted new Android HU with high/low convertor & reverse camera;

Did some highland & lowland touring;

Nice car and good mods so far. Android headunit looks good too, looks oem however there looks to be a gap on the bottom right corner which would annoy me if it were mine! For the EGR and anti-shudder valve, did you perform the engine carbon clean first and then remove and clean those parts manually afterwards? Good work!

Thx man. I just noticed that gap after I'd had it for about three weeks lol. Love the HU. Think it's way more functional than the RNS-E. Yea I did the carbon clean first then cleaned and blanked the EGR.

Ah fair enough. How is the sound quality on the android unit? Notice much difference after the carbon clean or was your intake system fairly clean anyway?

One thing that is interesting about your car is that it is a good example of how versatile Audi options can be. Like even though you don't have the dual zone climate control, you have heated seats! I like the interior colour too even though it won't be to everyone's taste.

The sound quality is fantastic! Was pretty poor at first before I connected the hi/low convertor but once that was done I'd say the sound quality is slightly better than the orginal Audi unit. I did notice a slight difference after the carbon clean, throttle response seemed slightly more snappy. Had to turn off the ESP/traction control to allow the car to go above 2500rpm to clean out all the carbon deposits. The car is quite high milage. Yea your right about Audi being versatile, the heated seats are a god send during a scottish winter! Yea I love the cream interior but a few folk I showed when I first got it didn't like it. Thanks very much for the constructive comments DJ_26!

WHY WON'T THE SITE ALLOW ME TO POST PICS!?? TRIED EVERYTHING!?
Just got my alloys refurbished, changed to satin anthracite. Usually £280 got all four done for £180!! Also fitted Osram LED lights to the front (can't afford bi-xenon) & new led lights to the licence plate. Next mod will be intercooler & honeycomb grill.
