WILL TURBO OF 2.0TDI 170 FIT TO 2.0TDI 140 ?
Steve Q replied to frycek1995's topic in Audi A6 (C6) Forum
Hi kamil, you're best bet is to fit a genuine turbo either new or reconditioned as aftermarket turbos can fail inside 18months. If you want more bhp my advice would be to fit a standard turbo and then have the car remapped. Cheers Steve -
Welcome to the forum Joe, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 speaking to Audi might be your best bet as I know on the a3 it's a slightly different size if I recall. cheers Steve

Hi Andy, was the last one you fitted a genuine one? If you really get stuck then you could always for an aftermarket sportier item. Cheers Steve
-
Sorry I can't help more. I know you will have tried spraying wd40 etc. When you put the key in, does it turn or does it feel jammed and if you turn it, you feel like it will damage the key. If that makes sense? Cheers Steve

Hi Chris, yes they should fit but you'll need to have your tracking done afterwards. Cheers Steve

The concern is, if an MOT tester finds the dpf is false then I suspect you could end up with big fines. Plus I suspect this would void your insurance. Cheers Steve

It should have unlocked the driver's door at least. I surprised it didn't. Cheers Steve

I would have thought if it was turbo related you would be hearing whining or hesitation during acceleration in my opinion. Cheers Steve
-
Hi Chris when you say have the dpf and egr done, do you mean remove? If so it'll be an mot failure if you remove the dpf. With regards to the remap you should get good bhp gains but you must make sure your car is well maintained and any mechanical issues sorted otherwise it could affect the cars reliability. Cheers Steve

Sorry to hear of your issue. You've done well to get a good proportion off so far and I'd be definitely pushing for more. I totally agree that a 3 and half year old cat shouldnt have issues with the timing chain (depending on mileage obviously). As it's a known fault, in an ideal world Audi should pay the whole bill but this was probably very unlikely. Cheers Steve

Comfort system central control module voltage supply too low
Steve Q replied to Richardjones74's topic in Audi A4 (B7) Forum
You're welcome, you'd be surprised how many electrical issues can be traced back to the battery. Cheers Steve -
When I've had this on my a6 with the same radio I just turn down the volume. There isnt any other way of doing it I believe. Cheers Steve
-
Besides the fuseboxes you've mentioned there aren't any others I don't believe. My advice would be to get an auto electrician take a look at them. Cheers Steve

You shouldn't have to cut the bumper bfor a swan neck or detachable type. Cheers Steve

Hi Richard there isn't a secondary battery. My advice would be to get your actual car battery checked as it could be on it's way out if it's the original. Halfords can do a battery check for you to make sure it's providing enough umph. Cheers Steve -
Hi Andy, these are common issues on Audi's from this era. My a6 suffered the same with the cupholder. Needless to say I had to replace it as repairing it wasn't an option. Cheers Steve

Front parking sensors constantly alerting me and not working
Steve Q replied to EJM's topic in Audi A3 (8V) Forum
You're welcome 🙂 If a sensor has failed then it should be picked up on the diagnostic check. Worst case scenario someone might have hit you. Cheers Steve
