Neidzial 1983 is your man on mmi.

Yea the key should definitely open the door. If Audi have carried out work then you might get a discount on the repair as you should have had 12 months warranty on the work/parts I believe. Cheers Steve

Kid

My advice would be to try eBay. Or try and find a car being broken that has Bluetooth and then take the whole kit. I suspect any a4 of a similar model year will be compatible. Cheers Steve

Yea it should improve the drivability, bhp and maybe the mpg. If you have it done I'd advise letting your insurance company know of the remap.

Way

Wow that's certainly not cheap. I wonder whether a7 models that are being broken for spares is the way to go?

Hi Chris the q7 is an amazing vehicle. Make sure everything works as parts can be very expensive this includes the suspension ride height settings etc. Heres a YouTube video which may help: Cheers Steve

Piotr (Niedzial 1983) is your man on VCDS, might be worth you pm him 🙂 cheers Steve

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

Lesson

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

Thanks for the heads up Ralph 🙂 ill pin this so other members can find it easier. Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Simon, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 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

Saddening

Welcome to the forum Peter, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 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
