Sorry Jim But EML codes are beyond my remit and I leave that one up to the spanner men. I do have a 'reasonable' VAG reader though. I would've thought the EML codes would have come up again by now if there were any problems with the new sensors. All you can do is see what happens although sometimes they take a while to ping up again. Fingers crossed. Just for the record, following the experience of a guy who runs a taxi firm on the Toyota forum, I have been using Wynns Professional DPF regenerator fluid (black bottle) once a year. I get them off ebay for about £12. Due to the taxi work (he had about 12 Toyota Avensis), they kept throwing up DPF EML's. One of those bottles every 6 months and they were fine. Admittedly, this was a number of years ago (five?) but the principles the same. For the cost of it, I just put a bottle through every year on both the Audi and the Skoda as the runs they do are pretty localised although I do DPF runs regularly. Touch wood, no DPF issues in six years.

Just picked up on this posting (sorry) and one thing is, I would always recommend a map and have always mapped diesel cars for years. (20+ years) I think 232bhp is a bit optimistic, but should easily get a good 30 ish bhp so not far off Always do your research (forums are best imo) and use a good tuner. The one I use is a fair old drive away but they have mapped a Leon, Superb and an A6 over the years and are very well established within the VAG forums RR printouts can be a bit misleading and vary from one place to another, however mpg should be better (I reckon 2mpg on a 2 litre) and the car more 'driveable'. The power will be there and you will easily notice the difference, but a heavier right foot will give you worse mpg than it was before hand. Real world and it should be better marginally. I know this post was a while back, but I hope you went through with it, if the tuner you was going to had a good history.

First post on this site as just replaced a Leon Cupra with a 17MY C7 A6. Have had enough of highly modified motors, poly bushed specials and the state of UK roads. It has been on the cards for the last few years. I still have the Leon but it is going and other motors currently include a Superb Estate (family wagon) plus a Toyota Avensis estate for tip runs/carparks. Been a member on Seat Cupra Net for stupid years and Briskoda although for not so long (5 years or so) so seriously used to VAG. The A6 was an obvious comfort replacement as it is VAG although this time a six pot with S-tronic (272). A million miles away from the Leon I know but a comfort wagon like the Skoda. Not had the motor long and they are positively giving them away at the main dealers as the C8 model has started to kick in. Indies have yet to respond and prices can be still quite out there from them. (Audi salesman reckoned they had lost £1500 on the one I bought from them - pinch of salt I know but I can believe it too). Early days, but so glad for the bigger blower six pot (313's are quite hard to get hold of and still holding their money too - would've preferred tbh but hey ho) Extra's include the Tech and parking pack plus OE towbar. Not played with the parking yet. 😏 Advice so far is to buy an Audi approved used motor. Their prices are surprisingly good and worth it given the extra year's warranty included if necessary. Academic in this instance. Hopefully will be logging into for advice rather than problems.... And god Brilliant Black is ball ache 😕
