fast edd Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Good evening everyone, i've just joined and am the proud owner of a 2010 A6 Avant Le Mans 2.0 tdi 170 , I have owned now for 8 months. Generally a great car just the usual DPF sensor and Air con Sensor failures other than that great motoring . Also had the Emission 189 update done !!! , since this was done the car runs a little less refined , mostly low down combustion rattle !! it goes when DPF regen is active , it drives as before the Emission update was done . Anyone else experience this .( Luckily no EGR failure or associated parts) !!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Welcome to the forum Edd :) youll find the members on here are a friendly bunch :) you have a cracking a6 model! One of the best specs in my opinion :) feel free to upload some pics :) theres various threads on here about the ea189 recalls. They are well worth a read :) cheers steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fast edd Posted June 5, 2017 Author Share Posted June 5, 2017 Hi Steve Q, thank you for your response and kind words on our A6 , it took about 9 months to find !!. Once I've figured out how to i'll post some pics . Would a economy remap make for a good investment and which company ? I've heard Celtic Tuning are reliable.

Steve Q Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Your most welcome :) a remap is always good, depending on the condition of the car obviously. The remap will probably get rid of the ea189 emissions update. The pics need to be a set size. What I do is save pics from my Facebook and upload them on here. I find it's the easiest way of the pics automatically resizing :) Cheers steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fast edd Posted June 5, 2017 Author Share Posted June 5, 2017 Hi again Steve , judging by the way the ea 189 emissions update is wrecking all manner of things on various Vag vehicles ,the sooner the better I think. Our Avant is full Audi history with 70k on the clock so other than a DMF and clutch which is the usual fail after remap it should be all good !!😕😕.
